Several famous faces have descended on Saudi Arabia for Tyson Fury's 'Battle of the Baddest' crossover fight against Francis Ngannou.
The Gypsy King and former MMA star are set to do battle on Saturday night in Riyadh in one of the most eagerly-anticipated bouts of the year.
And on the eve of Fury-Ngannou, a gala dinner was held on Friday where several celebrities and big names from across the sporting world were pictured together.
Cristiano Ronaldo - who relocated to Saudi Arabia last year when he joined Al-Nassr - was the biggest name and he was pictured mingling backstage with Fury.
Meanwhile, his former Manchester United team-mate Rio Ferdinand was also in attendance at the gala.
Mike Tyson has been coaching Ngannou in the build-up to his bout with Fury and the former boxer was another guest at the gala.
Tyson was pictured with the Brazilian Ronaldo, with the footballing legend currently keeping himself busy as owner and chairman of Spanish second tier side Real Valladolid.
Oleksandr Usyk - who signed a contract last month for an undisputed world heavyweight title battle later this year with Fury - was at the event too and exchanged an unexpected embrace with Fury during the night.
Many other boxing stars were also pictured, including former light-welterweight and welterweight world champion Ricky Hatton.
The Brit is now a promoter and trainer and his son Campbell fights at lightweight professionally.
Legendary US rapper Eminem could also be seen to be enjoying himself as he posed for photos with Ngannou.
However, the now 51-year-old looked unrecognisable from his heyday in the spotlight as he wore a cap and appeared to now be sporting a ponytail.
Many more famous faces are expected to be in attendance tomorrow night, with Fury and Ngannou's ringwalks expected at around 10:30PM after a packed undercard.

π¨π£οΈ Paulo Dybala on Cristiano Ronaldo: "In Argentina, you can feel the rivalry between Messi and Cristiano deeply. Obviously, when I was a kid, I was always on Messi's side." "One day, we were travelling for a game, I was in the back of the plane and Cristiano was sitting in the front. At one point during the flight, he approached me to talk about football and many other things. We talked about our life in general and I told him: 'I practically hated you when I was a child'. "We laughed about it. There has always been a good relationship between us." Also, Do You Know?
