Sporting superstars sat together to watch the superfight.
ANTHONY JOSHUA was amusingly requested to photograph a fan with Cristiano Ronaldo in what was labeled a &#8220;violation&#8221;.
Joshua sat next to the Manchester United icon, who currently captains Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, during Tyson Fury&#8217;s fight with Oleksandr Usyk.

Using Anthony Joshua to take a pic with Cristiano Ronaldo is a violation 💀
Joshua is a class act, he was holding that shirt for Ronaldo to sign, took the picture all while cheering for the man who beat him twice! Respect. <a href="https://t.co/VqD0Mdhfpr">pic.twitter.com/VqD0Mdhfpr</a>

And TNT Sports footage captured the moment the result was read out to confirm Usyk&#8217;s historic victory over Fury.
But just before the split-decision was announced, Ronaldo and Joshua were seen chatting.
And Ronaldo signed an Al-Nassr jersey for a fan, who then took a selfie with the Portuguese legend.
Who took the photo? Two-time heavyweight world champion Joshua &#8211; leaving fans stunned.
One said: &#8220;Using Anthony Joshua to take a pic with Cristiano Ronaldo is a violation.
&#8220;Joshua is a class act, he was holding that shirt for Ronaldo to sign, took the picture all while cheering for the man who beat him twice! Respect.&#8221;
One hailed: &#8220;Top guy AJ. class act.&#8221;
But another argued: &#8220;Not a violation at all. In a room full of the biggest stars in the world it’s Cristiano who is by far the biggest.&#8221;

One said: &#8220;CR7 is a celeb among celebs, he is the most-known man on the planet. A class act from AJ who is good friends with CR7…&#8221;
Joshua watched on as Usyk &#8211; who twice beat him on points &#8211; almost stopped Fury in round nine before earning the decision.
And a rematch looks to be eyed for October while AJ is set to return in September against the June 1 winner between Filip Hrgovic and Daniel Dubos.
Promoter Eddie Hearn told iFL TV: &#8220;We want to regain the world heavyweight title, so whoever has got it has got it.
&#8220;But the rematch is a big fight. That looks like that’ll be set for October, if both guys take it and we have to work on our plans, whether that’s Wembley, we’ll see what happens on June 1.&#8221;
