Today at the "Kingdom Arena" in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, one of the major boxing events of the year took place. Former heavyweight world champion, British boxer Anthony Joshua (28-3), squared off in the ring against former UFC heavyweight champion, Cameroonian fighter Francis Ngannou (0-2 in boxing). Joshua knocked out his opponent already in the second round.

In addition to legendary footballers of the past and present attending this fight, the current WBC super heavyweight world champion, Tyson Fury, was also present in the stands.

But the "Gypsy King" wouldn't have earned such a nickname if he didn't know how to stage performances, similar to what happened today. He arrived at the event wearing a rather intriguing costume, adorned with championship belts from various weight categories.

Surely, this was the British boxer's way of hinting at his victory in the upcoming fight. Let's not forget that on May 18, in the same Riyadh, a fight for the title of undisputed super heavyweight world champion will take place, where Fury will face Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk. The "Gypsy King" holds the WBC belt, while Usyk has the WBO, IBF, WBA (Super), and IBO championship belts.

It's also worth noting that the winner of the fight between Usyk and Fury will likely face Anthony Joshua in the ring, and perhaps the "Gypsy King" was present in the stands to observe his future opponent. But spectators couldn't help but notice Fury's reaction to the knockout of his fellow countryman in today's bout.

At the very least, Tyson Fury appeared visibly stirred.
