Additionally, a number of well-known figures from the sports world were photographed together at a gala dinner on Friday, the eve of Fury-Ngannou.

The most well-known figure was Cristiano Ronaldo, who moved to Saudi Arabia when he joined Al-Nassr last year. He was seen socializing backstage with Fury.

Rio Ferdinand, his former teammate from Manchester United, was also present at the gala.

Another visitor at the gala was veteran boxer Mike Tyson, who has been teaching Ngannou in the lead-up to his fight with Fury.

Tyson was seen with the legendary Brazilian football player Ronaldo, who is currently occupied as the owner and chairman of Real Valladolid, a team in the second division of Spain.

Oleksandr Usyk, who signed a deal with Fury last month to fight for the undisputed world heavyweight title later this year, was also there at the gathering and gave Fury an unexpected embrace that evening.

Ricky Hatton, a former light-welterweight and welterweight world champion, was among the numerous other boxing celebrities included in the photos.

The Brit is currently a trainer and promoter, and his son, Campbell, competes professionally in lightweight combat.

Eminem, a legendary American rapper, was also spotted having fun while posing for pictures with Ngannou.

But the now 51-year-old, who donned a cap and seemed to be wearing a ponytail, didn’t look like the person he was in the spotlight for.

Following a crowded undercard, Fury and Ngannou’s ringwalks are scheduled at roughly 10:30 PM tomorrow night, with many more well-known figures anticipated to be present.
