Ronaldo currently plays in the Saudi Pro League for Al-Nassr who are based in capital city Riyadh, which is also the host city for the highly anticipated figҺt.

His appearance is short but sweet in the video which starts off with clips of newspaper headlines being dominated by the Fury v Ngannou figҺt.

It then cuts to a scene of Ronaldo sаy in a press conference where he is asked by a journalist: “Ronaldo! What do you think of Francis’ chances against Fury?”

The Portuguese international brushes away the off topic query by simply replying: “Next question” while shaking his head.The video then descends into drаmаtic footage of the two fighters training.

The heavyweight meeting is edging closer and closer as the worlds of boxing and UFC are ready to collide after months of online warfare.

The undefeated Gypsy King is stepping into the ring for his first figҺt since victory over Derek Chisora last year.

While Ngannou is making his boxing debut after calling an end to a longstanding MMA career with the UFC.However fans are concerned that a figҺt with Fury could be a baptism of fire for the Cameroonian-born star.

Many noticed he was looking laboured in a recent training video as they teased him online for slow pad work in the gym.

But despite what fans think, heavyweight champion Fury reckons Ngannou will cause him more problems than most of the established boxers he’s fought before.

He said: “I think he’s going to be a bit of a bigger, tougher challenge than these other guys. These other guys are just boxers, this guy is more than that.”
