The super-hyped Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury fight finally took place yesterday and the fans loved it. There were quite a few high-profile special guest attendants in the crowd. However, talking about high-profile guests there was no one more iconic than Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese soccer star was present with his eldest son Cristiano Jr. His reaction to the outcome of the match has raised the eyebrows of the fans.
The feud between Tommy Fury and Jake Paul has been going on for quite a while now. They were previously set to fight each other more than once. However, Tommy Fury had to delay from his end due to injuries and some other issues. But February 26 of 2023, in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia looked promising and it finally happened. The Diriyah stadium was jampacked with its full 15,000 capacity and the fight delivered.

Social media influencer turned boxer Jake Paul’s huge social media fan following has helped him with his rise to fame. Before yesterday night he had a perfect record in his professional bouts. However, Tommy Fury was the first individual who had a proper boxing background. Cristiano‘s presence galvanized the event extensively.
Tyson Fury’s younger brother had an overall better performance over the eight-rounder toughly fought match. But it was a really close call. Fury’s right-handed jabs were impressive against Jake Paul. However, knock-out specialist Jake landed a massive left-hander counter on Tommy. Fury barely rose from it to avoid the defeat.
Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t care about Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury outcome
There were rumors about Cristiano Ronaldo being present at the fight. However, Piers Morgan confirmed his presence in Diriyah. And expectedly enough he made the appearance with Cristiano Jr. and it looks like proximity is the reason for his appearance in the fight.
The reaction of the Portuguese star was almost very absurd. The judges announced Tommy as the winner, and the arena erupted into joy. However, Ronaldo was completely unphased. A clip posted by @IfnBoxing showed us the Portuguese sitting inside the VIP arena with his arms crossed, where the entire arena was full of “Tommy! Tommy!” chants.

Ronaldo looked utterly uninterested in the outcome of the match and didn’t give one single reaction. Moments later, he left Diriyah with Cristiano Jr. and his entire team. Reactionless Cristiano has amazed the fans. Quite a few fans thought that he has no idea what is going on there. Others have speculated that the Al-Nassr star simply didn’t care.
One fan casually pointed out that The Portuguese is “Too rich to care,” about the fight’s outcome. All of it was kind of strange and unusual from Cristiano’s side, but he wouldn’t care much about it.
