Cristiano Ronaldo’s reaction to Jake Paul’s first career defeat has been caught on camera – and he didn’t look best pleased.
The football legend, who recently signed for Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr, was in attendance for Paul’s grudge match against Tommy Fury.
Footage initially emerged of Ronaldo watching on from the stands inside Diriyah Arena, alongside his son Cristiano Jnr.
But now a new clip has surfaced online capturing Ronaldo’s instant reaction to the judges’ scorecards being read out by the ring announcer.

In the video, Tommy Fury is announced as the winner, sparking mass celebrations among the majority of people in the crowd – not Ronaldo, though.
While many cheered, Ronaldo simply sat back in his chair with his arms crossed.
With barely a single expression on his face, he looked far from impressed as he watched ex-Love Islander Fury get his hand raised.
Just a few moments later, the Manchester United icon stood up out of his seat and left the building along with his entire entourage.
When IFN Boxing posted the footage to Twitter, fans weighed in.
One person replied: “Bro was just waiting to leave.”
While another added: “Doesn’t have a clue whats going on.”
As one claimed: “Bro was forced by the king to attend the fight
While a fourth said: “Bruh couldn’t care less. Looks like he lost a bet.”
In a slightly happier moment for Ronaldo, he was was also seen rubbing shoulders with boxing royalty Mike Tyson.
The two legends posed for pictures while hanging out with ex-fighter-turned promoter Derek Chisora.
In response to Michael Benson’s clip, one person said: “Saudi’s making serious cultural inroads. It’s a solidified hotbed for global entertainment.”
While another added: “Mental how someone who started off as a YouTuber has all these celebrities at his fight. Crazy how well they have promoted this.”
CRISTIANO RONALDO CALLS JUVENTUS FRIEND TO AL NASSR
There are reports Cristiano Ronaldo has asked one of his best friends from the Juventus squad to join him at Al Nassr.
The Portuguese superstar has started a new chapter of his career in Saudi Arabia with record-shattering wages after terminating the contract with Manchester United by mutual consent.
He wore the Juve jersey from 2018 to 2021 and made several good friends in the squad, most notably third-choice goalkeeper Carlo Pinsoglio.
The 32-year-old shot-stopper is well-loved by everyone at Juventus and considered something of a mascot in the locker room, even though he hardly ever sets foot on the pitch.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Ronaldo has contacted Pinsoglio and urged him to come to Al Nassr to enjoy the lifestyle as well as play some football.
Pinsoglio has made only one five appearances in all competition since coming back to Juventus in 2017, practically all of them dead rubber fixtures at the end of the season.
His contract expires on June 30 and he would fill in for David Ospina, who fractured his elbow.
