Internet sensation Hasbulla appears to have confirmed he supports Liverpool after posing with two shirts gifted to him by Women's Super League (WSL) player Missy Bo Kearns.
Hasbulla, 20, rose to prominence during the Covid-19 pandemic owing to social media platform TikTok and now has millions of followers across there and his Instagram account. Renowned for his passion for UFC among other fighting codes, the Russian native remains ever-popular for his often viral clips.
In not so glowing terms, Hasbulla was previously quoted - via The Mirror - taking aim at former Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo in a snippet which will have endeared himself to the Liverpool faithful and that affiliation has, seemingly, gone to a whole new level.
Speaking about Ronaldo last year, he said: "I could not care less about Ronaldo. I'm more famous than him. The only thing he does in a match is pass around the ball."

Kearns, who represents her hometown club Liverpool in the WSL having previously played for England's age-group teams, met Hasbulla before sending him two personalised shirts. Pictures showing Hasbulla with his gifts - featuring 'Kearns 7' and 'Hasbu 7' printed on the back - have been doing the rounds on social media.
In a short Twitter caption, Kearns said: "Hasbulla is a red. Was nice to meet you legend."
Kearns has also shared the images on her Instagram account, while countless Liverpool - and Hasbulla - fans picked up the exchange and responded in the comments sections. Hasbulla has yet to post the pictures on his own profiles, but has received widespread attention on social media for the Kearns upload and supporting Liverpool.
