Day of Reckoning has started its course at the newly built Kingdom Arena of Riyadh. On this card, some of the biggest names from the cruiserweight and heavyweight will fight in an attempt to revitalize these weight classes. Snippets from the seating arrangement for tonight’s massive fight in Riyadh are out, and it seems like some of the biggest names will sit collectively to witness the historic card unfold.

In attendance at this historic fight are names including Christiano Ronaldo, Conor McGregor, and David Beckham. It seems like the seating arrangement was prepared with much thought, given how ‘CR7’ will have McGregor and another important name on the global stage beside him.

Christiano Ronaldo to sit ringside for the biggest Saudi fight yet

Saudi Arabia is leading the front in hosting the biggest boxing fights. Tonight, as a part of their ongoing Riyadh season, the likes of Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, Otto Wallin, and Dmitry Bivol will enter the ring to bring the audience the most entertaining boxing night in recent history. In this audience, Ronaldo is reportedly seated next to McGregor and His Excellency Turki Alalshikh. Ronaldo was also present at the previously held Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou, which laid the foundation for the Riyadh season.

As per a video posted by TNT Sports Boxing, in the front row, along with Ronaldo, McGregor and His Excellency, promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren will also be seated. Joining them are George Foreman and Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman. Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis too have descended on Riyadh for tonight’s fight. However, there was one oversight that had fans talking.
