“He absolutely stinks of money” - Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival to Joshua vs. Wallin Riyadh boxing event triggers reactions from fans

Cristiano Ronaldo is in attendance at the 'Day of Reckoning' boxing event taking place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The main event features a clash between Anthony Joshua and Otto Wallin, with Deontay Wilder vs. Joseph Parker as the co-headliner.

The undercard was in full swing with several finishes by the time Ronaldo entered and took a seat in the front row alongside Turki Al-Sheikh. The Portuguese football star was later joined by former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor in the adjacent seat.

Ronaldo made it to the arena just in time for Daniel Dubois' bout with Jarrell Miller, with 'Dynamite' securing a TKO victory with around 10 seconds remaining in the final round.

Fans responded to Ronaldo's entrance with an array of reactions.

One fan wrote:
