Asked by Golovkin whether the former Real Madrid star thought he could be a fighter, he simply replied: “I don’t think so.”
He did, however, went on to talk about a story from when he was young. He did some boxing during his training with one of the coaches at Manchester United.
“When I was at Manchester United, a coach boxed with me,” he said. “I think practicing boxing is useful for football because it sharpens your senses and you learn to move.”
DAZN’s documentary, called “Parallel Worlds,” is a docu-series. Its aim is to show two elite athletes from different sports to understand and discover their similarities and dissimilarities. Ronaldo was even spotted at the Diriyah Arena in Saudi Arabia on February 26, 2023, watching Jake Paul take on Tommy Fury.
