CR7 is reportedly a fan of former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, who made his boxing debut against Fury on Saturday in Riyadh.
Fury was awarded a controversial split-decision win in the boxing match.
Before the match, Ronaldo reportedly sent Ngannou a watch as a good luck gift.
The two first met earlier this year while staying at the same hotel in Saudi Arabia. The MMA star described the football icon as “very cool” in an interview with TNT Sports.
