May 18th 2024.
Ronaldo and Joshua were both in attendance for the highly-anticipated heavyweight title fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. The two sports stars had secured front row seats at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, adding to the excitement and glamour of the event.
As a two-time world champion, Joshua was no stranger to the spotlight and was used to rubbing shoulders with other famous athletes like Ronaldo. The football legend, who had been attending boxing events in Saudi Arabia since joining Al-Nassr in 2023, was a regular sight at these events, often seen chatting with other top athletes like Conor McGregor.
On this particular night, Joshua and Ronaldo were deep in conversation as they watched the undercard fights. The main event, however, was the highly-anticipated showdown between Fury and Usyk, with both men vying to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.
While Joshua was focused on watching the fight, he couldn't help but think about his own future in the ring. He knew that a rematch with Usyk was likely in the cards, as he had suffered two defeats to the Ukrainian in the past. But his ultimate goal was to face the winner of the Fury vs Usyk fight, a match that had been years in the making and was highly anticipated by fans.
As the night went on and the fight between Fury and Usyk drew closer, the tension in the arena was palpable. The two men were eventually separated by security during a fiery weigh-in, adding to the anticipation for the main event. With a potential rematch between Fury and Usyk on the horizon, Joshua was already planning his own return to the ring in September, potentially at Wembley Stadium where he had not fought since 2018.
There were talks of Joshua facing either Daniel Dubois or Filip Hrgovic, both of whom were set to fight on a big card in June. But Joshua's focus remained on the winner of the Fury vs Usyk fight, which he believed would be the ultimate test for him as a boxer. As the night ended and the fight between Fury and Usyk commenced, Joshua and Ronaldo were still deep in conversation, discussing the potential outcomes of the fight and what the future may hold for both of them.
