Conor McGregor was ringside yet again for another massive boxing fight in Saudi Arabia.
A stacked “Day of Reckoning” event featuring many of the world’s best heavyweight boxers and many guest celebrities in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Among them were McGregor and soccer megastar Cristiano Ronaldo, who sat next to one another during the main card portion of the event.
An energetic McGregor salivated after Saudi Arabia’s minister of entertainment Turki Alalshikh seemingly asked him about a potential boxing match. McGregor zoned in on Manny Pacquiao. Ronaldo meanwhile remained stone-faced for much of the tangent.
In what is an unprecedented bill, heavyweight rivals Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder, although not facing each other, will take centre stage. Following the rearrangement of the fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, Hearn and Warren put their differences aside to organise Saturday night’s ‘historic’ series of bouts.
Joshua faces Otto Wallin in Saudi, and is aiming to make it three wins from three in 2023, having already beaten Jermaine Franklin Jnr by unanimous decision in April before sealing a seventh-round stoppage against Robert Helenius in August to earn a 26th professional career victory. Wilder fights Joseph Parker, and there is the prospect of a date between Joshua and Wilder if both triumph.
