The representative of the PFL league, Ibragim Ibragimov, told about a joint photo with one of the best football players in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo.
The striker of the Saudi club Al-Nasr, Cristiano Ronaldo, became the guest of the PFL tournament in Riyadh on October 19, where Francis Ngannou and Renan Ferreira met in the main battle. On the same card, 20-year-old Russian fighter Ibragim Ibragimov, representing Great Britain, fought with them. He beat Nacho Campos by unanimous decision.
— My younger brother played in the same team as his son (Cristiano Ronaldo), they have a very close relationship. And Ronaldo Junior asked my brother what time I was fighting, because he and his father were planning to come to the tournament for the Francis Ngannou fight. And in general, we were in contact with his son, then we met at the arena, I approached, but it was difficult to reach them, there were many people there who wanted to take photos, many security and people specifically around him.
Then I told one of the organizers that Ronaldo’s son was waiting for me and I was still wearing a Manchester United t-shirt, and he took me to their house, then Ronaldo Jr. saw me , came, we talked for a couple minutes, he asked, fought, I asked and said they left a little later so they didn’t have time. He congratulated me on the victory, asked me when the next fight would be, then introduced me to his father Ronaldo, and I asked to take a photo together.
As I said, my other brother plays for Manchester United and basically I met a lot of ex-footballers and tried not to take photos. But Cristiano remains a player we couldn’t refuse. For yourself. And we took photos. It was good that he watched our tournament,” Ibragimov told .
