Cristiano Ronaldo called out for fight by former four-weight world champion

Adrien Broner has revealed his unlikely friendship with Cristiano Ronaldo - whilst jokingly calling him out for a boxing fight.

Broner, 33, will fight for the first time in over two years when he faces short-notice replacement Hank Lundy in Atlanta after Ivan Redkach's withdrawal. A former four-time world champion, Broner's career has been plagued by inactivity in recent years as the boxer has battled mental health struggles during his time away from the ring.

The boxing scene has changed a lot since Broner's absence, with influencers and content creators introducing a new audience to the sport.
