Cristiano Ronaldo has opened up on a conversation he had with Anthony Joshua when the duo crossed path in during a holiday in Dubai.
The Portuguese icon revealed he was inspired by their conversation, which increased his desire to maintain a high level of performance.
The 35-year-old is a big fan of boxing and Mixed Martial Arts told Gennady Golovkin as part of DAZN’s Parallel Worlds.
“We had the opportunity to speak last year in Dubai, I was with Joshua and we had conversation. “Thirty-three years old is that age where you start to feel down.
“I don’t wanna be in the sport, in football, where people say, ‘Cristiano was an unbelievable player and now he’s slow.
“I don’t want that. You can take care a lot of your body, the body’s not a problem I don’t think.
“It’s here [points to his head], your motivation, experience. I think this is the most tough.”
Meanwhile, it was a fight-to-finish at the San Siro on Wednesday night, January 6, as Juventus battled hard to defeat Serie A leaders AC Milan 3-1 at the San Siro.
Federico Chiesa grabbed a brace in the encounter with Weston McKennie also scoring late on for the visitors to make Davide Calabria’s goal for the hosts a mere consolation.
