MANILA, Philippines, Oct 29, (Agencies): Two sports legends, Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao and football sensation Cristiano Ronaldo, had a heartwarming meeting during the pre-match festivities for the Ngannou-Fury bout in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Pacquiao was in Riyadh to attend the Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury bout, which was scheduled for Sunday and had attracted a star-studded audience, featuring some of the biggest names in the world of sports.

TNT Sports Boxing captured this special moment and shared it on Instagram. In the video, an enthusiastic Ronaldo warmly greeted the only eight-division world champion in boxing, exclaiming, “Hey, Pacquiao!”

During their interaction, Pacquiao mentioned, “I went to your last game,” to which Ronaldo responded with a gracious smile. Pacquiao was likely referring to Ronaldo’s recent remarkable performance, where he scored two goals in Al Nassr FC’s 4-3 victory over l-Duhail SC just three days prior.

Ronaldo’s star-studded day didn’t end there; he also had the opportunity to meet former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya.
