Why did Oleksandr Usyk become a die-hard fan of Cristiano Ronaldo?

Former undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk watched the goal-rich, dramatic clash between Al-Nassr and Al-Kholood in the Saudi Pro League directly from the stadium's VIP box.

In this match, world football star Cristiano Ronaldo once again put on a masterclass, scoring 3 goals (a hat-trick) and securing a resilient 5-3 victory for his team.

"Simply amazing": Usyk's emotional admission

After the game, the Ukrainian boxing legend did not hide his admiration for the Portuguese striker's high level of fitness and skill, despite his age:

"It was a great match. Simply amazing! Cristiano is truly an alien," Usyk said in a short and touching assessment.

• Celebrating in an unusual setting: The boxer blew up the internet by mimicking Ronaldo's famous "Siuuu" goal celebration while standing in front of a framed jersey signed by Lionel Messi;
