Cristiano Ronaldo's friend Piers Morgan has claimed that the former Manchester United player told him via text that he "is going to the fight" between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury this weekend in Saudi Arabia.
The pair of fighters face off in a boxing ring on Sunday at the Diriyah Arena on the north-western outskirts of the Saudi capital, Riyadh. That is also where Ronaldo now calls home since leaving United in November and joining Saudi Pro League table-toppers Al-Nassr earlier this year.
Less than two-and-a-half miles separate the team's home ground, the King Saud University Stadium, and the open-air arena where Paul and Fury will fight. The proximity of the two venues had led to rumours about Ronaldo being ringside, and there appears to be some truth to them.
