On the other hand, the Ukrainian has held the WBA, WBO and IBF belts since he dethroned Anthony Joshua in 2021. The winner – if there is one – will become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis, crowned in 1999 in Las Vegas.
meeting of stars
At the fight gala, sports stars began to arrive and two of them were soccer players Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, who play in Saudi football.
In a video that circulates on social networks you can see the meeting between the two footballers. Neymar, who is recovering from his injury, approached the Portuguese, who reacted with happiness to see his colleague.
The footballers chatted for a brief moment, while they were photographed and recorded by the other attendees. Neymar left to look for his position after greeting CR7.
On Saturday, the winner will join an elite group of big names in boxing, from Jack Dempsey to Mike Tyson, including Joe Louis and Mohamed Ali.
