BOXING fans were in stitches as they saw Cristiano Ronaldo looking “terrified” of Conor McGregor.

The global football icon was seated next to the outspoken Irishman to watch Anthony Joshua’s blockbuster bout with Otto Wallin in Saudi Arabia.

Cameras panned to the pair ringside, just as UFC legend McGregor was aiming a rant at a Saudi boxing boss, about old rival Manny Pacquiao.

But viewers on TNT Sport were more interested in the incredibly uncomfortable Ronaldo.

McGregor ranted: “I love Manny, tell Manny to grow a set of balls. Tell Manny to grow a set of balls and fight me at a higher weight.

“Why not? It’s his sport. If he wants me to come down to a smaller weight he should let me use more of my weapons.

“I should be able to kick, I should be able to grapple. Shouldn’t that be fair? Say it to him, is he a man or a mouse? Is Manny a man or a mouse?”

He signed off his demands by sharing a laugh with Ronaldo – but fans were convinced the Manchester United was petrified deep down.

One said: “Ronaldo is terrified of him.”

Another added: “Ronaldo looks terrified.”
