The city of Riyadh hosted one of the most star-studded fight cards with its “Day of Reckoning” event. Closing out the 2023 extended Riyadh Boxing Season, the event was naturally full of celebrity inclusion. Conor McGregor and Cristiano Ronaldo were the biggest names to attend the event. McGregor and Ronaldo came to watch Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua perform on the card.

In October, Francis Ngannou faced Tyson Fury at the Riyadh Season opening ceremony. McGregor attended the event to support his fellow MMA fighter. This time, the Irishman returned to support his business associates Eddie Hearn and Joshua. He sat next to Ronaldo at the event. A jolly McGregor can be seen getting beside a seat to Ronaldo in new footage, asking:

Who's winning this one?

The former double champion hoped to see Anthony Joshua defeat Otto Wallin. McGregor’s wish came true as Joshua defeated Wallin. On the other hand, Deontay Wilder suffered a brutal defeat at the hands of Joseph Parker. Wilder did not get much room to deliver his iconic knockout punch. Parker advanced from the first minute and did not stop till the final bell.

“The Notorious” was also visibly in the company and vicinity of boxing promoter Eddie Hearn and others. His interactions with Cristiano Ronaldo have instigated many fan sentiments as “unreal scenes.” It is always a good thing when two superstars of different sports come together for an appearance at a fight event.

The former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua overcame Swedish heavyweight Otto Wallin at Riyadh Boxing Season. After five dominating rounds, the pro-boxer reached the crowning achievement at the Kingdom Arena. But more than the speculated boxing bout, a different interaction has taken the internet by storm. This was between the faces of football and UFC itself.

A handful of fans mocked the exchange, prompting Ronaldo’s rigid body language. Others even went a step further to instigate complete disdain on his part. Ronaldo, famed for flaunting his million-dollar watches, was also seen doing the same with McGregor yet again. This interaction also has caught on some flack. Nevertheless, McGregor seemed to have a great time together with Ronaldo and Turki Alalshikh.
