Earlier this year, YouTube boxer Jake Paul went against professional boxer Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia in a decisive showdown to prove himself. Even though the social media influencer stood his ground till the end, the bout marked the YouTuber’s first defeat in his professional career. The fight was huge, with several big names appearing to witness the electrifying event. This includes Mike Tyson, Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, and music icon Drake.
The two legends clicked a couple of pictures together when they met. Ronaldo now resides in Saudi Arabia after signing up with Al Nassr FC in the Saudi Pro League. So it was almost inevitable for him to be there. However, as fate would have it, both legends came together and spent time with one another, giving fans iconic moments to witness. Here’s what Tyson’s son had to say about their picture together.
