Cristiano Ronaldo threw “punches” at Tyson Fury as the pair shared a joke ahead of the boxer’s Battle of the Baddest with Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia.

The Al Nassr captain and the British WBC champion were filmed laughing and smiling together before they attended a gala dinner in Riyadh on Friday (27 October).

The unbeaten Fury faces ex-UFC champion Ngannou on Saturday night, with the main card expected to start at 6pm BST and ring walks for the main event expected at around 10.45pm BST.
