Ronaldo skips second best sport show to meet Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman

Cristiano Ronaldo missed the highly anticipated boxing clash between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev in Riyadh to meet Saudi Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman instead.

Despite a ringside seat labeled “CR7” at the event, the Al-Nassr star was nowhere to be seen as Bivol claimed the undisputed light-heavyweight title.

Ronaldo later revealed his whereabouts via Instagram, sharing that he was celebrating Founding Day with the Saudi Crown Prince and attending the prestigious Saudi Cup horse race.

A known boxing enthusiast, Ronaldo has previously attended major fights, including Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk.

However, this time, he prioritized the world’s richest horse race over the boxing spectacle.

With his royal engagements now behind him, Ronaldo will shift focus back to football as Al-Nassr prepares to face Al-Wehda in the Saudi Pro League on Tuesday.
