WATCH: ‘Next question!’ - Cristiano Ronaldo puts his acting skills to good use in promo video for Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou crossover fight in Saudi Arabia

The WBC heavyweight champion from the world of boxing is set to face the former UFC heavyweight champion in an intriguing crossover contest that will be staged on Saudi Arabian soil on October 28. The eyes of the world will descend on Riyadh for a 10-round battle that will take place under boxing rules.

Portuguese superstar Ronaldo, who plays his club football in the Middle East for Al-Nassr, has been drafted in to help promote the fight, with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner figuring prominently in a video that sees him say “next question” when asked by a reporter: “What do you think of Francis’ chances against Fury?”

It would come as no surprise if Ronaldo is spotted at the Fury vs Ngannou clash as the iconic 38-year-old is a fan of the fight game. Ronaldo was among the A-list guests when YouTube sensation Jack Paul fought Tyson Fury’s brother, Tommy, in Saudi Arabia back in February.

The only problem facing Ronaldo when it comes to attending another star-studded show in the Middle East is the fact that Al-Nassr will be in action against Al Feiha on the same day. The Portugal international does, however, have access to private jets and could easily be flown in for the fight if he expresses desire to be ringside.
