Day of Reckoning attendees in Saudi Arabia will find Cristiano Ronaldo situated in close proximity to Conor McGregor as a result of a seating oversight made by the event organizers.
Cristiano Ronaldo positioned himself adjacent to Conor McGregor on the ‘Day of Reckoning’ with the intention of observing the tumultuous evening of boxing.
Anthony Joshua dispatched Otto Wallin with relative ease at the event held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, whereas Deontay Wilder was unexpectedly defeated by Joseph Parker. A significant assemblage of individuals attended the evening.
Furthermore, the Kingdom Arena was filled with a star-studded audience, including McGregor and Ronaldo, who arrived prior to the evening’s main events to take up the ambiance.
A video even captured the two fighters walking around the ring, with McGregor turning to the Portuguese superstar and saying, “It’s a small ring,” while Ronaldo contemplated the UFC star.
The ‘Day of Reckoning’ witnessed Conor McGregor and Cristiano Ronaldo occupy adjacent seats.
The two individuals were originally designated to sit together at the event; however, organizers made an error on the seating chart by misspelling the Irishman’s nаme.
Finally seated ringside, the two individuals observed McGregor in conversation with the Al-Nassr forward.
McGregor was subsequently observed seated alongside Ronaldo ringside in a TNT Sports video. McGregor appeared to be conversing with another spectator regarding Dmitry Bivol, who faces British fighter Lyndon Arthur tonight.
He removes his jacket and approaches Ronaldo, where he places his hands together before assuming a seated position adjacent to the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
McGregor was witnessed on Bivol tonight, prior to his bout with Lyndon Arêther, stating, “He is the Egyptian superstar.” Moreover, he is the epitomean superstar. Highly commendable.
The two individuals appeared amicable, with the MMA superstar seemingly involved in a conversation with another spectator. McGregor then made fun of Ronaldo’s remark that his watch was comparable to the timepiece owned by the former Real Madrid and Manchester United star.
He is overheard remarking, “What have we obtained there?” Who is in the lead? Who is the victor in this contest?’
While a conversation ensued, McGregor extended his handshake to Ronaldo before removing his wrist to examine his watch.
Ronaldo was also observed seated next to Frank Warren, who, according to reports, will spend the evening seated next to longtime adversary Eddie Hearn.

Warren is seated opposite rival promoter Eddie Hearn during the boxing match.
Warren’s Qʅeensberry Promotions is the host organization for the event in Saudi Arabia. The enthralling evening of action will be headlined by Joshʠa, a client of Hearn’s.
Last month, Hearn stated in a BBC column, “Matchroom and Queensberry will perpetually be rivals, which is beneficial for the fans because we will strive to put on outstanding performances in order to stay ahead of the competition.”
“However, I have always maintained that when the fighter’s opportunity presents itself, egos tend to recede to the background.”
Their long-standing antagonism is rumored to have begun when Hearn allegedly imitated his father in order to acquire some of Warren’s clients.
