Ahead of his eagerly awaited crossover matchup with Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia, Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed his support for UFC great Francis Ngannou by giving him an opulent watch valued at £87,000. Ngannou was beaming as he proudly showed off the Jacob and Co watch, which included the football player’s personal brand and came in a CR7-styled case.

The watch is an additional layer of exclusivity to the present because it is a part of the limited edition “Heart of Ronaldo” collection. When Ngannou received this kind gift outside of a Jacob and Co. store, he was ecstatic and couldn’t contain it. Ngannou called Ronaldo his “brother” and conveyed his gratitude for the gesture by saying, “I had to pick up my new watch ahead of figҺt week here in Riyadh.”

A few months after Ngannou’s UFC contract ended, Ronaldo and Ngannou first met in Riyadh in January. Ngannou called the football player “inspirational” at the moment, expressing his appreciation for him. The worlds of football and combat sports are further united by their unwavering support for one another, which demonstrates the respect and friendship that players from many disciplines have for one another.
