Cristiano Ronaldo gave a four-word response when asked who he's supporting out of Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

The undisputed clash between Fury and Usyk is just hours away as the WBC, WBA (super), IBF and WBO world titles are all on the line.

Some of the biggest names in the sport are in the house for tonight's showdown in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

From the last undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis to Evander Holyfield.

Not to mention football royalty Ronaldo, who plies his trade in the Middle East with Saudi Pro League outfit Al Nassr.

And upon arriving at the Kingdom Arena, he was asked who's supporting in the main-event.

But Ronaldo refused to give a name, saying: "I support the sport."



Ronaldo is sat ringside alongside Anthony Joshua, who beat Francis Ngannou in his last outing.

But the former Manchester United star missed Joshua's big win over Ngannou despite having a ringside seat.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is a big fight fan, having expressed his interest in UFC/MMA and boxing.

Back in December 2020, he said: "Playing football is my passion, but I prefer watching other sports on TV.

"Between watching a football match or a boxing or UFC fight, I choose boxing or UFC."
