    The 35-year-old Gypsy King’s belt will not be contested but he is putting his undefeated record on the line in the much-maligned showdown.
    His Cameroon-born opponent, who left UFC last year and has now signed with fellow MMA promotion Professional Fighters League, has been trained by boxing legend “Iron” Mike Tyson for the clash in Las Vegas.
    Both stars are now in the Middle East and they came face-to-face on Thursday for what has been billed as the Battle of the Baddest.
    Icons from all over the world have flown in for the bout, with Ronaldo leading the list of big names.

    Tommy, who is fresh off his controversial victory over YouTuber KSI a fortnight ago, has a huge fan base of his own and is followed by 5.5m on Instagram.
    But it was he who turned fan boy as he asked for a selfie with the legendary ex-Manchester United forward, who now plays in Saudi for Al-Nassr.
    Footage emerged on social media of Tommy patiently waiting for Ronaldo as he took a plethora of selfies with other guests.
    Then the big moment arrived – however some viewers believe that Tommy actually left Ronaldo hanging afterwards.

    After the snap was taken, the 38-year-old Portuguese ace appeared to briefly look down towards Tommy’s hand, but the boxer never responded and walked away.
    “CR7 was waiting for a handshake,” declared one fan on TikTok.
    While another added: “Wait! No handshake for the GOAT?”
    And a fellow fan commented: “Tommy Fury goes pure fan boy.”
    Meanwhile, his elder sibling Tyson went one better and sat down for a chat wit the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
    He said to the footy icon: “Cristiano, you’re the greatest footballer that’s ever lived, and I mean that.
    “I’m a big fan, I watch all the football, I watched you when you were at United, the first time, second time, all of the Real Madrid, everything.”
    Ronaldo replied: “But you’ve never been to the stadium?”
    To which Fury responded: “I come to the stadium but I get very much tortured while I’m there, so it’s very difficult for me.”

    Tommy Fury claims it is HARDER fighting YouTubers than boxers and says ‘any pro will tell you that’

    TOMMY FURY has claimed it’s HARDER fighting YouTubers than boxers and says “any pro will tell you that”.The 24-year-old Love Island star amassed a record of 8-0 during his fledgling career before turning his hand to mega-money influencer bouts.

    Back in February, Fury beat Jake Paul by split-decision in Saudi Arabia to end two years of bitter feuding.
    That then set him up with another blockbuster and money-spinning clash with YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI.
    Their self-dubbed Battle of Britain ended contentiously a fortnight ago after Fury walked away with a points victory in a razor thin fight.
    The younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury was initially awarded a majority decision but it was overturned to a unanimous victory due to a scorecard being read out incorrectly.

    His rival KSI has since hired a lawyer to appeal the loss in total – something Fury laughed off.
    After that last fight, Fury claimed he was done facing influencers – but now he has been discussing his experiences of facing non-pros.
    And he is adamant that they are much more difficult to battle with rather than his more traditional opponents.
    Fury told the Daily Mail: “I think boxing conventional boxers is easier than fighting YouTubers and novices.

    “Any professional boxer will tell you that. Novices don’t know what they’re doing. 
    “Punches are coming from everywhere, you’re leaning out of shots and it’s horrible and messy. Whereas with a conventional boxer, they’re in front of you and you know what you’re getting. I do think it’s easier. 
    “In the build up to the KSI fight I was sparring with solid professionals and I was putting on clinics in the gym, so it makes me want to go back and be like ‘let me be a normal boxer and show what I can do’.
    “Before I started fighting these guys, I was getting them out of there and throwing good combinations. But these guys, you throw a jab and they run 100 miles away.”
    The boxer, who is engaged to fellow Love Islander Molly-Mae Hague after welcoming their first child into the world, then added on KSI: “His performance wasn’t a performance, he wasn’t there to box at all.
    “Looking back on it, he was never going to stand there and trade with me because I’m a lot heavier than him. His plan was to clinch me all night. It is what it is. 
    “I was upset at the time because it was a massive atmosphere and build up and I wanted to have a good fight. But when you’ve got someone doing star jumps in the corner and running from corner post to corner post.
    “It’s very difficult to fight someone who doesn’t want to engage or win the fight.” More

    Laura had taken to her page on X, formerly known as Twitter, following coverage of Premier League team Manchester United’s latest footballing clash.
    As part of her on-screen duties for TNT Sports, Laura interviewed the Old Trafford side’s boss Erik Ten Hag after his side’s 1-0 victory over Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League.
    Yet in a surprise turn of the events, the Red Devils’ gaffer grabbed the microphone and chatted to her instead.
    As Laura tried to wrap up the chat Laura attempted to shake his hand – yet found he turned around to her co-hosts Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand instead, leaving her hand flapping in the air.

    She remarked to the duo: “How weird was that? I didn’t know what to do with my hands with no microphone.”
    After the clip was posted to X, one troll remarked: “I’ll give you something to do with your hands,” presumably referring to a sexual act.
    Ex TalkRadio anchor Laura – who has long been subject to sexist comments – re-posted the sordid remark and swiped: “And will you provide the microscope too?”
    The remark is thought to be a catty reference to the size of the troll’s manhood, and left her fans in hysterics.

    Meanwhile, off-screen, Laura’s love life is blossoming.
    Love Island star Adam and Laura were first linked to each other back in September when The Sun revealed that they had enjoyed a string of dates.
    Recently, Adam spoke exclusively to The Sun on how he wooed Laura – even branding her “the one.”
    Geordie lad Adam has now revealed how he wooed Laura through a series of flirty social media exchanges, before wining and dining her on an “undercover date”.
    Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Adam said: “The first time we met – I’ll hold my hands up – I did DM her first and got a reply but then nothing ever happened.
    “Then she called us out for basically leaving her on read.
    “It’s hard to meet people, isn’t it? I’m from Newcastle and eventually we met up, and then went on a very undercover date, and obviously what comes out in the press, comes out in the press, but it’s not always the full story.”
    He then told us at The Best Heroes Awards: “I would never get in a relationship with someone at least at one point [unless] I thought they were The One.”

    But Molly-Mae admitted she watched none of the bout itself as she stared at the ground in distress.
    She said in a vlog: “I more than anything slightly embarrassed myself as Tommy’s support system at the fight because honestly my head was on the ground the whole entire fight. 
    “I physically could not lift up my chin to look at the ring and watch the fight. I don’t know what happens to me in those situations. 
    “When I was younger I used to compete in competitive sports – I quit all of them – because I hate that like competition feeling I hated that environment it used to give me anxiety. I didn’t like the feeling of like being in competition with anyone.

    “It’s just typical that my fiance is a boxer and I’m now like plummeted with no choice back into that lifestyle. 
    “I wouldn’t change it for the world because I know it makes him so happy and I’ve been over this quite a few times now but I just find it quite hard.”
    Molly-Mae stayed strong up until the first bell rang as emotions took over.
    She said: “I feel like I kind of let myself down.

    “I really wanted to be like a strong support system for him on Saturday and I felt like I was just up until the point of the actual fight…
    “Honestly guys, I was a mess, a literal mess. I couldn’t eat, couldn’t speak, literally felt like I was going to faint, be sick. 
    “I don’t know why I get so nervous and it wasn’t like the actual fight. I think it’s just feeling the pressure of being his support system and being the one that truly knows how he feels and knows him inside out. I don’t know what’s going on with this it’s just a mad feeling.”
    Fury, 24, moved out of the £3.5million mansion he shares with Molly-Mae, also 24, and their baby daughter Bambi in Chesire.
    And he is now considering his options having beaten social media sensations KSI, 30, and Jake Paul, 26, within the same year.
    But KSI has now launched an appeal following his loss which proved to be controversial.

    As a rematch remains in the pipeline, Molly-Mae will have to prepare for another nerve-wracking fight night.
    She said: “I’ll be honest though it’s probably the last time I will ever go to a fight – I say that – it won’t be because I will drag myself there like I did with this one.”
