It was a rare joint appearance between Joshua – reportedly worth £200million – and his £125million rival Fury.

Their combined fortune amounts to just over half of the estimated £600 million they have amassed Ronaldo.

Meanwhile, Alalshikh, nicknamed His Excellency for his ability to make fight deals, is worth £70m, while Ngannou is the pauper of the group at £5m.

a boxing source said: “This is literally a billion dollar picture.

“When you look at those stars and their value, and at Mr. Alalshikh, it blows your mind.

“He has the influence and the wallet. Saudi wants to overtake Vegas as the fighting capital of the world and Alalshikh is a big part of that.”

The photocall took place ahead of Joshua’s heavyweight bout with former mixed martial arts star Ngannou tomorrow night.

WBC champion Fury – who will fight IBF holder Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia on May 18 – is there to support his brother Roman, who is fighting on the undercard.

He posted online: “I want the winner after I bust the rabbit.”

Alalshikh also teased an upcoming project featuring Ronaldo, the highest-paid footballer in the world history after moving to Saudi club Al-Nassr in 2022.

The Portuguese megastar has a salary of £173 million, plus multiple deals with sponsors including Armani and Tag Heuer.

AJ – who has said he wants to be a billionaire – rakes in around £10million per fight, and the bankable star enjoys a string of commercial partnerships.

Fury’s earnings skyrocketed when he defeated then-world champion Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.

The Gypsy King now has huge purses available for any fight, with claims he will fork over around £100 million for the Usyk showdown.

Cameroon-born Ngannou was reportedly paid around £500,000 for his last UFC heavyweight fight, but his earnings have soared since switching to boxing.

He defeated Fury in their fight last October before losing on points.
