A watch worth £87,000 has been given to Francis Ngannou by Cristiano Ronaldo in advance of this weekend’s cross-over fight between the UFC legend and Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia.
Ngannou grinned as he displayed the watch from Jacob & Co. that had a CR7-inspired casing.
Outside a Jacob and Co. store, he was given a gift from the limited-edition “Heart of Ronaldo” range.

Francis Ngannou picked up the watch during the fight week in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, he wrote on his social media handle, “Got to pick up my new watch ahead of fight week here in Riyadh.” He also called Ronaldo his brother.
It is well-known that Ronaldo enjoys fighting sports, and he has previously stated that he prefers to watch boxing or UFC over football.
Floyd Mayweather, Anthony Joshua, and Conor McGregor are just a few of the famous people from that field he has previously been spotted with.
Ngannou is getting ready for a big fight against Fury, which has angered some fans who wanted the latter to take on Oleksandr Usyk.
It will be the Nigerian mixed martial artist’s first professional boxing match and is dubbed “The Battle of the Baddest.”
He is expected to get roughly £6 million, which would be more money than he made during his 14-fight UFC career.
Ngannou wasn’t a tiny fish in the UFC either; at the time of his departure, he was the heavyweight champion.
Ngannou has been receiving training from Mike Tyson in an effort to prepare him for the championship fight.
The Gypsy King earlier declared he would not reveal his face in public if Fury lost, underscoring how important the punch-fest is to him even though his WBC title is not on the line.
Fury said last week that he will finish out his opponent “inside six rounds.”
