Jake Paul, the social media personality turned professional boxer enjoys a ‘Rocky’ moment ahead of his fight against his intense rival Tommy Fury. On one of his training days, the 6-0 boxer goes out running in the park in Saudi Arabia and comes across curious kids who mobbed him and had an interesting conversation. ‘The Problem Child’ welcomed this and took an active part in answering their queries. While interacting, he hinted at Cristiano Ronaldo‘s appearance at the ringside.

After two prior failed attempts, the Ohio native is finally scheduled to meet the Love Island actor Tommy Fury on February 26 in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. He is very excited because this is the fight that he wanted for years. Unlike his other fights, this involves a rivalry that has become personal. This is the reason despite any title on the line, the fight has kept the boxing world awaiting. Fans are eager to watch the tension this duo will bring to the ring. Above this, it will make Paul the undisputed king of influential boxing because Fury is the only man who has always challenged his authority.

After a back-and-forth, it is time to prove who is better and Paul did not want to leave any stone unturned. As a result, he has not stopped training and is seen in the park where recently kids caught him.

Is it real that Cristiano Ronaldo is coming to watch Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury?

There is no evidence of Ronaldo coming to watch this highly anticipated showdown live, other than Paul’s words that he said while interacting with kids. Firstly, Paul claimed that the Brazilian soccer star Neymar follows him on Instagram. This made kids curious and following this they asked several questions about soccer. This is when a kid came up with, “Are you seeing Ronaldo?”

To which Paul replied, “oh yeah, I think he is coming to a fight.” Since Ronaldo signed a contract with the Arabian football club Al-Nassr, he stays in Saudi Arabia. So it is likely to happen that he attends this showdown.

Meanwhile, hailing from a family of fighters, it is safe to say that Tommy Fury is looking to make easy work of the younger Paul brother. He believes that Paul is the product of social media and that whatever he has achieved in the ring is not real because he never faced a legit fighter before. Of course, this doesn’t sit well with Paul and he always retaliated to it with harsh remarks. Hopefully, when they will meet, their fists will decide the final outcome.
