Canelo told El Universal Deportes he plans to reach out to Ronaldo soon.
"I haven't talked to him. In these days I'm going to call him, surely he will be there, but let's see if he wants to go out with me."
The boxer and the footballer have become friends, with Canelo expressing his admiration for the Portuguese star. He shared his thoughts with Claro Sports:
"The truth is that I am very happy, obviously proud and all my admiration for him, he knows it, he is my friend and I am grateful that he will be there."
Ronaldo now plays for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia after leaving Real Madrid. He's free to attend the fight as his team got knocked out of the AFC Champions League semifinals by Kawasaki Frontale.
Canelo aims to create a spectacle around the bout. Having one of the world's most famous athletes accompany him to the ring would certainly add to the event's star power.
The Mexican champion will call Ronaldo in the coming days to see if he's up for the ring walk. Fans will have to wait until fight night to see if the football icon accepts the invitation.
