And he showed off his personalised phone case
And he did so to huge elevation from the crowd, drawing a smile from The Special One.
Mourinho was captured by SunSport taking in the action and filming from his front row spot.
And he revealed his personalised JM phone case while recording the fights.
Mourinho was dismissed by Roma in January and remains unemployed as he seeks his next move.
The Portuguese icon was not the only famous football face in the Kingdom Arena as Brazilian Ronaldo posed with Tyson Fury.
And Cristiano Ronaldo also had a ringside seat reserved for him too.
Ronaldo watched in October when Ngannou floored Tyson Fury on his debut only to lose a controversial split-decision.
He now takes to the boxing ring for only the second time while Joshua returns to Saudi for his third bout in the desert.

Ngannou weighed in a whopping 19st 6lb compared to Joshua at 18 stone.
And Ngannou, 37, said: “I’ve learnt a little bit from the last fight, the last camp, and leading up to this one.
“So, I get a little bit of experience, but the mindset is still the same.
“This is just my second boxing match, even though I’m taking on the two best guys in the world in boxing, it’s still my second boxing match.
“I’m going out there to prove you can be an underdog and take it.”
Joshua, 34, meanwhile quipped: “I’ll deliver. I’m the postman.”
