Ronaldo's humorous jab at Arsenal during Saudi gala

The Portuguese representative was one of the special guests at the gala, where the main event was the fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. Cristiano Ronaldo was amused by the request to predict the English champion. He jabbed his interlocutor.

The victory fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury occurred overnight from Saturday to Sunday, Eastern Time. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, hosted the boxing hit, and Cristiano Ronaldo was one of the special guests at the gala. The Portuguese didn't have to travel far since he plays for Saudi club Al-Nassr.

Cristiano Ronaldo chatted with Frank Warren, a boxing promoter and private Arsenal football team supporter. The Englishman was born in London.

Frank Warren asked Cristiano Ronaldo to predict the English champion. The Portuguese was surprised by the question and burst out laughing. The Al-Nassr player knew his interlocutor was an Arsenal fan and jabbed him. "Arsenal will not be the champion," said Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese's prediction is not controversial because Arsenal, with one round left before the season's end, is second in the Premier League table behind Manchester City. The chances of them surpassing the leader are slim. On Sunday, Arsenal will face Everton, while Manchester City will play against West Ham United.

Cristiano Ronaldo himself was heavily involved in English football in the past. He achieved his first club football success wearing the colours of Manchester United, to which he returned before moving to Al-Nassr.
