Many of the celebrities have attended a Gala dinner at the St Regis Hotel.

Ronaldo, 38, did not have far to go as he is currently playing his football in the Saudi Pro League for Al-Nassr.

The Portuguese star turned up in a casual look as he wore a pair of jeans and a hooded jacket.

Ronaldo was joined by his namesake, former Brazilian international Ronaldo at the event.

The former Real Madrid and Inter Milan ace stunned as he wore a smart suit with an open-collar white shirt.

And of course, Fury and his wife Paris also blessed the red carpet in their patterned outfits.

Paris looked stunning in her pink dress while Fury looked dapper in his unique suit as they posed for photographs.

During his time in front of the press, Fury also met rival Oleksandr Usyk.
