Cristiano Ronaldo, Al-Nassr striker, once again took the spotlight in the capital of Saudi Arabia, when he arrived at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh to watch the likes of Bivol, Wilder, Parker,Joshua and Wallin, among others.
The boxing event 'Day of Reckoning', held in the distant lands of the Middle East, allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to take a stroll through the majestic arena with the intention of witnessing and enjoying one of his favorite sports, professional boxing.
Cristiano arrived at the show escorted by a group of bodyguards, which immediately caught the attention of the public, who upon noticing the presence of the Portuguese turned to take a photo or video of him while he moved inside the venue to take his place.
What is Cristiano Ronaldo's second favorite sport?
Cristiano Ronaldo, 38, is a living legend in world soccer. However, it seems hard to believe that soccer is not his favorite sport.
In the documentary 'Parallel Worlds', the Portuguese confessed that he prefers to watch other sports, such as boxing and mixed martial arts, rather than a soccer match.
"Playing soccer is my passion, but then I prefer to watch other sports on TV. Between a soccer match or watching a boxing match or UFC, I choose boxing and UFC," said Ronaldo.
Ronaldo was born a footballer, despite being a boxing fan
However, Cristiano Ronaldo confessed that he does not believe he would have been a good boxer, at least not as good as he is in the sport with which he has fascinated generations of fans, as he considered that he was born with the gift for football.
"I don't think I could have been a boxer, it's hard. You have to be born for that, with that gift. I think I was born to be a professional footballer, I thought I had that gift from the beginning, and I said to myself: I'm going to grab this opportunity with my hands," said Ronaldo.
Living in the Arab country, Cristiano Ronaldo has been closely following the sporting events in that country. In September of this year, he attended a WWE event in the same arena.
