Cristiano Ronaldo's Presence at Fury vs. Ngannou Sparks Debate in Riyadh Crowd
Cristiano Ronaldo, the former Manchester United football legend now plying his trade with Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, created quite a buzz by attending the Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou fight in Saudi Arabia. The reaction from the crowd, however, led to a spirited debate, with spectators divided on whether they were hailing or booing the Portuguese icon. Ronaldo was joined in the audience by other notable figures, including Ronaldo Nazario, WWE stars Vince McMahon and 'The Undertaker,' as well as Eminem and Kanye West, all eager to witness the resurgent Fury face off against MMA heavyweight champion Ngannou. Taking a seat alongside his wife, Georgina Rodriguez, Ronaldo's presence prompted a mixed reaction from the audience. Some believed the crowd was playfully jeering Ronaldo, with one fan expressing their confusion, asking, "Anyone know why Ronaldo is being heavily booed every time he’s shown on screen?" Others shared this sentiment, with one person noting, "Ronaldo getting booed, why’s he so hated in Saudi?" and another adding, "Ronaldo keeps getting booed by the crowd at Ngannou vs Fury." However, Ronaldo's devoted fans also had their say, suggesting that the crowd was actually expressing admiration. One supporter remarked, "Listen to Ronaldo yell 'Sui' and tell me the crowd doesn't sound like that." Regardless of the crowd's reaction to Ronaldo, he was not the star of the night. The fight between Fury and Ngannou provided plenty of drama, with the 'Gypsy King' ultimately securing victory via a split decision after an intense 10 rounds.
