ANTHONY JOSHUA and Cristiano Ronaldo were captured sharing a moment from ringside in Saudi Arabia.
Both sporting superstars took their seat in Riyadh ahead of Tyson Fury’s historic undisputed title fight with Oleksandr Usyk.
AJ and Ronaldo made it in time to watch heavyweight pair Agit Kabayel and Frank Sanchez go at it.
And Kabayel pulled off a remarkable performance to win by stoppage and put himself in line for a WBC title shot.
TNT Sports’ Steve Bunce joked that Ronaldo told AJ: “You know what AJ, this Agit is a bit better than I thought he was.”
Kabayel, 31, became the first man to beat Cuban Sanchez, also 31, and has now put himself in line for the WBC belt.

He said: “I am very happy, we trained very hard for this opportunity.
“As you see, we win. I see he had not conditioned [to the body].
“I see it and I finished the fight. The Liver King is back!”
Kabayel will await the winner of the night’s main event between Fury, 35, and Usyk, 37, who contest for all four belts.

Instead, Fury and Usyk and contracted to a rematch already with Hrgovic, 31, to fight Daniel Dubois, 26, for the vacant IBF strap on June 1.
And Joshua, 34, could then fight either Hrgovic or Dubois in September at Wembley.
