Scorer Cristiano Ronaldo revealed that at home he would rather watch a boxing or UFC game on television than a soccer game.

“Playing soccer is my passion and I enjoy watching other sports on television. Between a soccer game and a boxing match or UFC, I prefer boxing and the UFC, ”revealed Ronaldo, speaking to DAZN.

The Portuguese striker dismissed the idea that he would have a chance in the boxing world.

“I don’t think I had the opportunity to be a boxer, it’s hard. You have to be born for that, with that gift. I think I was born to be a professional player. I thought I had this gift from the beginning and I said, ‘I’ll take this opportunity with my hands.’

On the differences between the two modalities, he said: “Boxing is a bit more difficult, because you are alone when you compete. You work in the gym, you have your equipment, but they don’t play with you, they only train with you. In our case it is different, it is more fun, because we work, we laugh together and it is a different kind of sacrifice.

The scorer revealed that he has already tried the sport. “When I was at Manchester United, a coach practiced with me. I think that training boxing is good for football, because it improves the senses and the movements.
