Imagine Cristiano Ronaldo back in the English Premier League.

If boxing promoter Frank Warren had his way, that would definitely be the case.

Warren, who promotes and manages numerous stars like WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury, was seated alongside the Portuguese superstar at the Day of Reckoning boxing event in Saudi Arabia.

The event was headlined by Anthony Joshua taking on Otto Wallin while Deontay Wilder and Joshua Parker competed in the co-main event.

While the cameras panned through the crowd of celebrities gathered at the event, it stopped briefly on Ronaldo, before moving to Warren seated next to him.

The promoter then took the moment to tease that CR7 would be joining Arsenal in the EPL next season, a joke which got a big laugh out of the Portuguese star.

Who does Warren support?

A big football fan, Warren is a die-hard supporter of The Gunners.

In 2018, he ripped into the side after their 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final.

As noted by talkSPORT, Warren didn’t hold back on his assessment of the team, describing them as inept.

“Even Stevie Wonder knows our defence is rubbish,” he said at the time.

Thankfully, Warren has much more to be happier about now, as Arsenal leads the Premier League table at the Christmas break.

He even doubled down on his earlier joke, taking to social media to comment about Ronaldo joining The Gunners.
