A short video of a meeting between five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo and world heavyweight champion according to WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF Alexander Usik has appeared online.
The athletes met during a boxing evening in Riyadh, where the main event of the evening was a fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou.
The Portuguese footballer addressed the Ukrainian with his famous phrase: I'm feeling . To this Usik responded with a continuation: I'm very feel (I really feel).

After that, Ronaldo asked Usyk when his next fight was. The Ukrainian replied: December 23.
The phrase “I’m feeling” accidentally became Usik’s “calling card”. Before the fight with Mark Hook, a journalist asked him: No, do you feel? (How do you feel?). Alexander then, without hesitation, answered: I'm feeling! I'm very feel (I feel, I really feel).
Earlier, Usik told what he talked about with Ronaldo during the Fury-Ngannou fight in Riyadh. During the broadcast of the fight, cameras several times captured Usyk, who was sitting not far from the football player.

The Fury-Usyk fight, which was scheduled for December 23, will likely be rescheduled for February 2024. According to ESPN, the reason is in particular the cut that the Briton received in a fight with Francis Ngannou.
