CRISTIANO RONALDO was BOOED as he rocked up to Kingdom Arena for Tyson Fury’s fight with Oleksandr Usyk.
The former Manchester United star, 39, was in the house as boxing’s biggest fight in over 20 years came to his backyard.
Ronaldo has been in Saudi Arabia since December 2022, having left Old Trafford the previous month.
The veteran forward attended Fury’s victory over Francis Ngannou last October.
And he took his place ringside for the Gypsy King’s latest bout tonight.
Ronaldo arrived in a stunning £400,000 Ferrari Purosangue alongside his son Cristiano Jr, 13.
He then strolled into the VIP entrance, grinning as he did so.
Asked for a prediction, he said: “I don’t know… 50-50.”
As he entered the gangway leading to the ring, Ronaldo was spotted by frenzied fans.
Some even booed the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who has been jeered at several Saudi Pro League matches this season.

Often fans have directed “Messi” chants at the forward, in a nod to Ronaldo’s great rival.
Other boxing ticket holders screamed his name tonight, while one even yelled his “Siu” catchphrase,
Ronaldo rocked up in a cream jacket and shorts Gucci combo.
The ensemble will have set CR7 back a cool £3,350.
He completed his look with a dazzling £1.2million diamond encrusted-watch.
The blingy Franck Muller watch, which is finished with 424 glistening white diamonds, sparkled on Ronaldo’s wrist as he took in the action.
As he found his seat, Ronaldo shook hands with former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
He then exchanged pleasantries with Turki Alalshikh, the man behind bringing the recent glut of mega-fights to Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo then took his seat between Joshua and Turki, asking the former: “How are you big man?”
The former Real Madrid superstar was also booed while attending Fury vs Ngannou last year.
Telly coverage at the time showed his awkward reaction to the boos, with Laura Woods joking: “The director is going to get fired.”
Ronaldo watched AJ fight Otto Wallin in Riyadh back in December.
At the time he sat ringside next to Conor McGregor.
The Irishman, 35, was particularly animated while spotted with Ronaldo, as fans joked that the footballer looked “terrified”.
