Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou Might Force Cristiano Ronaldo to Change Plans 2 Days Before Al Nassr vs Al Ain

Anthony Joshua will face one of the toughest challenges of his career in Francis Ngannou on March 8 in Riyadh. Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champion has already impressed everyone with his debut performance against Tyson Fury. However, he will have his work cut out when he takes on the former heavyweight champion of boxing, ‘AJ.’

The fight has already gathered a lot of attention, and some of the biggest names will attend the event. One such name is Cristiano Ronaldo, who is expected to attend the event. However, will he sacrifice his sleep schedule and watch the much-anticipated fight?

Cristiano Ronaldo’s sleep cycle under threat before Al Ain match

Al Nassr is all set to take on Al Ain next in the Saudi Arabia league match. Ronaldo, 39 is one of the fittest athletes in the world. Such is his dedication that he has taken up a unique approach to sleeping as well. CR7 doesn’t sleep the usual way, rather he takes half- an-hour naps to complete his recovery. According to the reports, Cristiano Ronaldo is all set to witness two of the best heavyweight fighters in boxing in Saudi Arabia on March 8. However, with his strict sleeping schedule, it would appear that the Portuguese maverick will have to find a way around it.

The Saudi Arabia side has lost a bit of momentum going into the final stages of the tournament. Al Nassr currently sits at the second place, nine points away from Al-Hilal. The Cristiano Ronaldo-led side has already lost their last match with Al Ain in the AFC Champions League Quarter Final first leg. Although their Talisman striker is back in action, the team has suffered a lot of injury problems lately. Will they be able to handle the pressure of Al Ain in the second leg of the AFC Champions League?

Injury scare trouble Al Nassr before they clash with Al Ain

Al Nassr, as a team, is struggling to get back to winning ways after losing their last two matches. Previously, they drew the match against Al Hazm without Ronaldo in their team. The 39-year-old returned for the next game but could not help his team win as they lost to Al Ain in the first league. Before their second-leg clash, star striker Anderson Talisca suffered a thigh injury and is now out for the entire season. The Brazilian was in fine form and had netted 25 goals in the exact number of games for his club. He will now have to fly to Italy and will only return before the next season.

The league is just two months away from ending and it will be interesting to see whether Al Nassr can gain back their lost momentum. With Cristiano Ronaldo all set to attend the boxing event on March 8, will he be able to deliver for his team yet again? Let us know in the comments below.
