Heavyweight Champs! Messi & Ronaldo Knocks Down Wilder & Joshua

Both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo knocked out Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder to demonstrate their dominance as heavyweight champions.

On Saturday, two boxing legends are scheduled to return to action, taking on Otto Wallin and Joseph Parker, respectively. These fights will take place in Saudi Arabia, as professional athletes continue to travel to the Middle East for competitions.

The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi turned down the opportunity to play club football in that region by choosing to join MLS team Inter Miami in the summer of 2023, but Portuguese legend Ronaldo is already there as he plays for Al-Nassr.

A friendly meeting between the two enduring foes is scheduled for the Riyadh Cup in February of 2024. The turf at the Kingdom Arena has already been placed in anticipation of that match. As a result, The Mirror reports on how boxing spectacles are being impacted.

Joshua and Wilder will be in action at the same venue, but they are being moved to a temporary stage – rather than the middle of a footballing playing field. Organisers do not want to risk the pitch being damaged ahead of what is being billed as ‘The Last Dance’ between all-time greats Messi and Ronaldo.
