Tyson Fury may be one of the great boxers of the modern era, but he is also a showman. When it comes to putting on a show, few places are more suited to the role than Las Vegas. Few men revel in the role more than the Gypsy King.
Having dismantled Deontay Wilder in seven rounds to claim the WBC heavyweight title in Las Vegas on Saturday night, the Gypsy King swapped boxing gloves for a microphone as he launched into a rendition of Don McLean's American Pie. Singing in front of nearly 16,000 attendees at the MGM Grand Garden Arena may send shivers down even the most confident of amateur singers, but Fury had no such qualms. After all, he had just ended one of the world's most powerful puncher's reign as the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world. Fury sang for approximately two minutes-the album version comes in at 8 MINUTES and 33 seconds-urging fans to join in for the chorus and proving he's a natural entertainer, before ending with, "Thank you, Las Vegas." The Briton's rendition clearly left a lasting impression on viewers and quickly went viral, with the song's title rocketing up Twitter trends.
