Cristiano Ronaldo has tested his acting skills by appearing in a video promoting the fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou.

The Portuguese star made a transfer move from Manchester United to Al-Nassr and has been their star player.

The Al Nassr star aided the boxing world with his appearance ahead of the fight later this month in Riyadh which is also the host city for the fight.

The former Man United star cameo in a short video that promotes the fight between the boxer and the UFC fighter.

Cristiano Ronaldo shows acting skills

According to reports from the Sun, Cristiano Ronaldo showed off his acting skills in a boxing advert.

The short clip begins with extracts from newspaper headlines dominated by the Fury v. Ngannou fight.

The image then switches to Ronaldo answering a journalist's question during a press conference, "Ronaldo! What do you think of Francis' chances against Fury?"

The Portuguese dismisses the irrelevant question by merely responding, "Next question" while shaking his head.

The video was then followed up by combat footage of the two boxers training ahead of their fight this month.

After months of online conflict, the heavyweight match between boxing and the UFC is getting closer and closer.
