• The mega fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou lived up to expectation

• Cristiano Ronaldo and his long-time friend Rio Ferdinand were among those in attendance

The magnitude of the fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou was highlighted by the sheer number of global superstars who attended the fight.

Ngannou was making his boxing debut on Saturday, October 28, against The Gypsy King, who retained his belt in 2022 by defeating Derek Chisora. Lucky for Fury, his WBC title was not on the line in this fight.

This was the first time that a world-class boxer came up against an MMA fighter since 2017, when Floyd Mayweather came up against Conor McGregor.

With such a high stakes fight on the cards, celebrities flocked the Boulevard Hall in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to perhaps get a taste of the highly-hyped fight.
