Ryan Garcia meets Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and Anthony Joshua at star-studded ringside for Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk’s heavyweight title fight in Saudi Arabia

Controversial boxer Ryan Garcia continued his Saudi Arabia photo-op with famous faces before Oleksandr Usyk‘s split-decision victory with Cristiano RonaldoNeymar, and Anthony Joshua on Saturday night.

Garcia first attended a Saudi Pro League match between Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal on Friday where he met Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. while wearing an Al-Nassr jersey.

All eyes on Riyadh were focused on Usyk fighting Tyson Fury, as the Ukrainian handed ‘The Gypsy King’ his first professional loss to become boxing’s first undisputed heavyweight champion in over two decades.

Garcia snapped a picture that he posted to Instagram with Ronaldo and Joshua at ringside, while finding Neymar somewhere else in the venue.

Garcia’s appearance comes less than a month after his controversial win over Devin Haney in a super lightweight title fight.

More than a week after his win over Haney, Garcia reportedly tested positive for the drug Ostarine the day before his victory.

Garcia denies taking the performance-enchaining drug and insisted on being tested again for it.

Haney’s title was not on the line in the bout as Garcia missed weight, but he did end Haney’s undefeated streak to begin his career at 31 wins.

Earlier this week Haney requested to the New York State Athletic Commission that the result of his fight with Garcia be overturned due to the positive test.

Haney’s attorney argued that Garcia had an unfair advantage in the fight due to missing weight in addition to the possible use of a performance-enhancing drug.

Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight boxing champion since Lennox Lewis, who was in attendance for the fight as well, with one judge scoring the bout 114-113 for Fury, but won on the other two scorecards 114-113 and 115-112.

A rematch between the fighters is expected in October.
