FIGHT fans went wild after seeing Cristiano Ronaldo hang out with Derek Chisora at Jake Paul’s Saudi showdown with Tommy Fury.
The staging rights for the battle of social media stars were won by the Kingdom of Saudi, with the bout taking place at a purpose-built stadium in Diriyah.
Boxing royalty was in attendance for the bout, with Mike Tyson, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury all in the building.
And sporting icon Ronaldo completed the cast of superstars, taking in the fights in a box with his son Cristiano Jr.
Ronaldo, 38, cut a cool figure as he donned an expensive-looking overshirt above a t-shirt.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner completed his outfit with a pair of tinted sunglasses, which no doubt would’ve cost an arm and a leg.
