Fans have been left stunned after seeing Vince McMahon arrive at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for Tyson Fury's fight with Francis Ngannou.

A plethora of celebrities and A-listers from various worlds will be in attendance for the heavyweight clash, which is being dubbed 'The Battle of the Baddest' and sees former UFC champion Ngannou make his boxing debut.

McMahon, who was CEO, chairman and controlling shareholder of WWE for 40 years before the merge with Endeavour to become TKO, is in the house alongside WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker.

Footage of McMahon entering the arena was posted online by Mike Bohn of MMA Junkie but there was concern for his health after he was seeing using a walking cane.

McMahon turned 78 in August but has always been in incredible shape and defied logic with his physical condition.

However, the former WWE champion is now looking his age after recent back surgery.

One fan commented: "I think this tells the full story of why Vince is winding down his duties

A second said: "Looking very frail."

A third added: "It's crazy we are at a time now Vince McMahon walking around with a cane showing his age."

A fourth concurred: "I never thought I would see the day that the great Vince McMahon would be walking around with a cane showing his age."

A fifth wrote: "That back surgery did a number on Vince."
