As Jake Paul squared off against Tommy Fury in a highly anticipated boxing match, it was a night of stars, surprises, and celebrity appearances.
Cristiano Ronaldo and boxing great Mike Tyson posed for photos together, sending the internet into a frenzy. High-profile guests attended the event, including boxing great Mike Tyson and football legend Cristiano Ronaldo.
Mike Tyson participated in a number of activities prior to the fight, including making predictions and expressing his opinions regarding the match’s commercial value.
Ronaldo, who just recently joined Al-Nassr FC, a team in Saudi Arabia, was in a fight with his 12-year-old son.
The two stars posed for pictures together, which caused a stir on the internet. Their meeting was seen by millions of people on social media, with just one tweet getting over 70,000 likes and 2.9 million views.
Derek Chisora, a heavyweight boxer, was also there and posted a photo of himself and Tyson, and Ronaldo on Instagram.
However, the appearances by celebrities did not end there. Drake, a producer, and musician from Canada bet $400,000 on Bitcoin that Jake Paul would win by knockout.
The potential payout was a staggering $1,440,000 using the cryptocurrency-based betting platform Stake.
However, the infamous “Drake Curse” was quickly brought to the attention of fans. This superstition states that Drake’s support for a sports team or athlete will ultimately result in their downfall.
Paul lost for the first time in his boxing career, as it turned out. Paul jokingly blamed the musician when asked about the impact of Drake’s bet, apologized, and promised to win the rematch for Drake.
The star-studded guest list, despite the night’s drama and excitement, stole the show. The meeting between Ronaldo and Tyson is still getting a lot of attention on the internet.
But the whole thing will undoubtedly be talked about for a very long time to come.
