CRISTIANO RONALDO was booed as he entered Kingdom Arena for Tyson Fury’s fight against Oleksandr Usyk.
The 39-year-old former Manchester United star was at the house when boxing’s biggest fight in almost 20 years came to his backyard.

Last October, the veteran forward attended Fury’s victory over Francis Ngannou.
And he sat ringside for the Gypsy King’s latest match tonight.
Ronaldo came in a magnificent £400,000 Ferrari Purosangue, accompanying his 13-year-old son Cristiano Jr.
He then walked into the VIP entrance, smirking.
When asked for a forecast, he responded, “I don’t know… 50-50.”
Frenzied fans noticed Ronaldo as he entered the gangway leading to the ring.
Some even booed the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who has received jeers at several Saudi Pro League games this season.

Fans frequently chanted “Messi” at the forward, a reference to Ronaldo’s famous adversary.
Other boxing ticket holders cheered his name tonight, with one even yelling his “Siu” catchphrase.
Ronaldo arrived wearing a cream Gucci jacket and shorts.
The ensemble will have cost CR7 a cool £3,350.
He finished his appearance with a stunning £1.2 million diamond-encrusted watch.
Ronaldo’s blingy Franck Muller watch, complete with 424 sparkling white diamonds, glittered on his wrist as he watched the action.
As Ronaldo took his seat, he shook hands with former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
He then exchanged pleasantries with Turki Alalshikh, the man who brought the latest influx of mega-fights to Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo then sat between Joshua and Turki, asking the former, “How are you, big man?”
The former Real Madrid star was also booed when watching Fury fight Ngannou last year.
Television coverage at the moment showed his odd reaction to the boos, with Laura Woods joking, “The director is going to get fired.”
Ronaldo saw AJ fight Otto Wallin in Riyadh back in December.
