THE GOSSIP: Based on the gratitude of the post, the couple appeared to be guests of Turki Alalshikh, a Saudi adviser at the Royal Court who is currently Chairman of General Authority for Entertainment. The 42-year-old has also been owner of Spanish club UD Almeria since 2019, overseeing their return to La Liga.

WHAT NEXT FOR RONALDO? The 38-year-old had been in action for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League a few hours before the Fury-Ngannou fight and the team will take to the pitch again on Tuesday when they face Jordan Henderson's Al-Ettifaq in the last 16 of this season's King's Cup.
