Cristiano Ronaldo denied rumors that he and Conor McGregor had unpleasant tension while watching the ‘Day of Reckoning’ boxing event.
Cristiano Ronaldo took to social media to dispel any rumors that he and Conor McGregor were feuding.
On Saturday’s (December 23) spectacular night of boxing in Saudi Arabia, which was led by Anthony Joshua, who knocked out Otto Wallin in the thrilling main event, the Al-Nassr hero sat close to the UFC icon.
Deontay Wilder was defeated by Joseph Parker, but Dmitry Bivol went the full 12 rounds with Brit Lyndon Arthur to maintain his perfect record. While the boxing match lived up to expectations, much was made of Ronaldo and McGregor’s ringside connection, with social media clips of the duo conversing.
McGregor, 35, was chatting away ringside as Ronaldo, 38, cut an uninterested expression, prompting fans to make fun of the scenario, with one X (previously known as Twitter) user writing: “Ronaldo knows he’s having his ear chewed off for the next three hours.”
Despite the amusing digs, it didn’t take long for the Manchester United great to set the record right, taking to Instagram – where he has a record 651million followers – and posting a photo of himself and McGregor laughing together.
He captioned the post, “Best caption wins,” leaving admirers with no choice but to quit making fun of them. Social media clips of the pair conversing showed them comparing their expensive watches before the Irishman giggled at a joke from the football great.”Cristiano is reconsidering all his decisions that led him to this moment,” a second admirer wrote, while a third added, “That meme of the drunk lad shouting at that girl in the club.” “The same energy!” A fourth person commented, “Lol Ronaldo felt awkward there boy.”
Anthony Joshua may have booked himself a title chance with his brilliant victory against Otto Wallin on Saturday night in Riyadh. It was the two-time former unified heavyweight champion’s third victory in 2023, and he now seems destined to become a three-time championship holder, with a fight against the winner of Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury looming.
