Cristiano Ronaldo went head-to-head with heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua as the duo were photographed together in Dubai.
Ronaldo and Joshua were pictured fist-bumping as they enjoyed the warm weather away from the European winter.
Juventus star Ronaldo had travelled to Dubai to attend the Globe Soccer awards on Thursday, where he scooped two more gongs to add to his glittering array of personal accolades.
He was named Player of the Year ahead of Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann and Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe.
It’s the third successive year that Ronaldo, 33, has won the award and the fifth since 2011.
Ronaldo’s Juventus have been out of action since he scored twice in their win over Sampdoria on December 29.
They will return to the pitch January 12 with a Coppa Italia round of 16 match against Bologna before taking on AC Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana four days later.
The club won’t be back in Serie A action until a date with Chievo on January 21.
