Amir Khan Says He Would Pay to Watch Messi and Ronaldo Fight
Former boxing world champion Amir Khan has weighed in on the idea of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo stepping into the boxing ring.
Khan admitted he would gladly pay to watch the two football icons square off, even though he doubts the fight would ever actually happen. Messi and Ronaldo have ruled the football world for almost 20 years, racking up 13 Ballon d’Or awards between them.
Speaking with Instant Casino, Khan shared his excitement over the fantasy matchup, saying through GOAL, “That would be a great fight. I’d buy a ticket for that. We still don’t know who the true number one is. I like them both – Ronaldo is a great ambassador, and so is Messi. But with the kind of money they’re making, I don’t think either of them would ever risk it. They don’t need to.”
When asked what advice he would give Messi about handling pitch invaders in the MLS, Khan said, “Honestly, just run. He has too much at stake. It’s not worth fighting back. Fans just want to touch him or hug him – they’re not trying to hurt him. They love him. I understand why his bodyguard was moved away, but fans mean no harm.”
Since leaving Europe, the two football greats have gone their separate ways. Ronaldo now plays for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, while Messi is lighting up the MLS with Inter Miami.
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
