Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is all set to electrify the ring this weekend in his highly anticipated showdown against William Scull in Saudi Arabia. But it’s not just about the punches; Canelo has plans to kick things up a notch with his superstar friend, Cristiano Ronaldo, by his side. Get ready for a spectacle!
Canelo Wants Ronaldo by His Side
In an exclusive chat with El Universal Deportes, Alvarez made it clear: he’d love for the soccer legend to join him in the ring. “I haven’t talked to him yet, but I plan to reach out soon. I’m sure he’ll be there, but we’ll see if he’s up for it,” shared Canelo.
Let’s see if he wants to come out with me.
A Bond Beyond the Ring
Canelo isn’t shy about flaunting his friendship with the former Real Madrid star. In a separate interview with Claro Sports, he expressed his admiration: “I’m really happy and proud of him. He knows how much I look up to him, and I’m excited that he might be there to support me.”
A Perfect Opportunity for Ronaldo
Ronaldo, who plays for Al Nassr, won’t have a scheduling conflict as his team was recently knocked out of the AFC Champions League semifinals by Kawasaki Frontale. This defeat means he’s got some free time to soak in the thrilling atmosphere of Canelo’s fight against Scull this weekend in Riyadh.
