CRISTIANO RONALDO has revealed that boxing is only his THIRD favourite sport.
Ronaldo, 38, is one of football’s biggest and most iconic names.
But tonight he was seen taking a break from the Saudi Pro League season by attending the blockbuster “Day of Reckoning” boxing show.
The Al-Nassr ace was pictured ringside while wearing a jazzy green Gucci jacket.
And while seated he was asked by a Queensberry Promotions official whether boxing was his second favourite sport.
In response, he simply said: “Third!”

Past comments from the Portugal legend suggest his second favourite sport is actually very similar to boxing.
Ronaldo previously suggested that MMA and UFC were high on his list of sports to sit down and watch.
Speaking in 2020, he said: “Playing football is my passion, but I prefer watching other sports on TV.
“Between watching a football match or a boxing or UFC fight, I choose boxing or UFC.”

He also revealed he has dabbled in boxing for his training, believing it to be beneficial to sharpening his senses.
Ronaldo added: “When I was at Manchester United, a coach boxed with me.
“I think practicing boxing is useful for football because it sharpens your senses and you learn to move.”
Ronaldo was not the only celebrity in attendance tonight.
He was later joined by MMA star Conor McGregor.
And the pair were seen deep in conversation and sharing a laugh as they compared watches.
However, some fans believed Ronaldo was “terrified” of his interaction with him.
Tonight’s boxing is being headlined by Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker and Anthony Joshua vs Otto Wallin.
