Saudi Arabia is becoming the “capital” of famous martial arts matches. On March 8 (early morning of March 9 Vietnam time) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the awaited heavyweight match between Anthony Joshua (England) and Francis Ngannou (Cameroon) took place.

Ronaldo and the four men in the photo have a total value of 1 billion pounds

According to The Sun newspaper (UK), at the pre-match press conference held on March 7, in addition to the two main characters, there was also the reigning champion holding the WBC title, Tyson Fury, and the appearance of Cristiano Ronaldo , a Portuguese player. Portugal competes in Saudi Arabia’s highest football tournament.

Here, 4 sports athletes along with Turki Alalshikh (sports broker tycoon in Saudi Arabia) took a photo with the characters in the photo whose total assets are estimated to be more than billion pounds.

According to Forbes’ valuation, Ronaldo is the owner of the largest current assets, up to 600 million pounds, Joshua ranks 2nd (£200 million), Fury ranks 3rd (£125 million), Alalshikh (£70 million) and Ngannou (5 million pounds). The 5 individuals who took the photo together have a total net worth of 1 billion pounds.

At the press conference before the match with Joshua on March 7, Ngannou, who lost to Fury by points in 2023, showed no respect for England’s “Gypsy King”. The 36-year-old boxer declared: “Respect the fact that boxing rules are protecting you (Fury), because you are nothing in front of me. I will beat you every day, do it twice if It’s Sunday”.

In the Boxing match in Saudi Arabia that took place on March 8, Ngannou truly absorbed the power of a boxer. Former heavyweight boxing champion, Joshua only needed 2 rounds to knock out his opponent. It is worth mentioning that in these 2 rounds, the “King of Rights” of England threw punches 3 times, causing Ngannou to fall to the ring. The third time, the referee was forced to stop the match.

Instead of the somewhat exaggerated statements before entering the ring, Ngannou lowered his voice after the match: “Sorry guys, I disappointed you. Today was a bad day in the ring, but tomorrow It will be another day. Thank you all for your love.”
