    WHAT HAPPENED IN THE FIGHT?

    Ronaldo and the capacity crowd at the Kingdom Arena were treated to an epic fight that went the full 12 rounds. Usyk would earn a split-decision victory to become the first four-belt undisputed heavyweight champion in the history of the sport.

  • WHAT NEXT FOR RONALDO?

    It's back to work for Cristiano Ronaldo, whose Al-Nassr side have their penultimate fixture of the season on Thursday, when they host Al-Riyadh. While Ronaldo's team are guaranteed to finish second in the Saudi Pro League whatever happens in their final two matches, the 39-year-old, who tops the league's scoring charts, will no doubt want to finish the season in good form ahead of Portugal's Euro 2024 tilt this summer.
