Cristiano Ronaldo and Conor McGregor locked in conversation ringside during Day of Reckoning boxing bonanza

Cristiano Ronaldo and Conor McGregor took their seats ringside at the Day of Reckoning sitting next to each other on a blockbuster card.

The superstars were out in force in Riyadh on Saturday night with Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder and Dmitry Bivol all in action.

And sitting ringside was Al Nassr star Ronaldo, who was placed next to His Excellency Turki Al-Sheikh at the Kingdom Arena.

However, Warren was nowhere to be seen for Bivol's win over Arthur.

Though that might be down to the fact that his boxer Daniel Dubois had just claimed an impressive victory over Jarrell Miller.

Ronaldo is often a lauded guest of mega-events held in Saudi Arabia as one of the biggest names to arrive in the country after Al Nassr signed him.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner blazed the trail for many others to arrive from Europe including
