Ahead of his fight against Tyson Fury next Saturday, former UFC champion Francis Ngannou received an expensive gift. The Franco-Cameroonian received a luxury watch from Cristiano Ronaldo.

The model from the brand “Jacob and Co” comes from the limited “Heart of Ronaldo” edition and is priced at around 100,000 euros.
Ronaldo and Ngannou have had a close friendship for years. For the 37-year-old UFC fighter, the Portuguese is an “inspirational” personality, as he recently announced in a posting on his Instagram account. Ngannou also shared a picture of the two of them.
Next Saturday there will be the hotly anticipated fight between Ngannou and the reigning heavyweight world champion Fury. The Franco-Cameroonian receives further notable support from boxing legend Mike Tyson, who prepared him for the fight as a coach.
“I don’t know if Fury is nervous, but he would have every reason to be,” said Tyson, who believes his protégé can pull off a surprise. Tyson (57) is the youngest heavyweight world champion to date, winning the WBC title in 1986 as a 20-year-old.
Nevertheless, Fury goes into the fight as the overwhelming favorite, which will be held according to conventional boxing rules. A defeat against Ngannou would be “a humiliation. I will be mocked and people will throw it in my face forever,” said the WBC champion, who is still undefeated in 34 fights (33 wins, one draw).
