The match took place at Kingdom Arena (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) with a capacity of 22,000 seats and attracted a series of famous people to attend, typically Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar. Before the main event, the superstar duo had an intimate conversation outside the stadium area.

After many years of competing with Real Madrid and Barcelona, Ronaldo and Neymar are currently playing for two rival clubs in Saudi Arabia, Al Nassr and Al Hilal. Besides Neymar, Ronaldo was also placed next to Anthony Joshua, the former heavyweight boxing champion.

When asked by a reporter to predict the winner, Neymar did not hesitate to put his trust in Fury. Another famous figure who expressed support for the “Gypsy King” is coach Steven Gerrard, who is leading Al Ettifaq Club in the Saudi Pro League. The Liverpool legend even went into Fury’s dressing area to encourage his fellow boxer.

As for Usyk, the Ukrainian boxer was also “fueled” for the great fight by many sports legends such as former striker Andriy Shevchenko or former boxer Wladimir Klitschko.

After 12 rounds, Usyk defeated Fury thanks to referee scores (115-112, 113-114, 114-113), thereby becoming the first absolute heavyweight boxing champion in the 4-belt era.
