After 10 years of uninterrupted success, Vladimir Klitschko has been derailed as the World Heavyweight boxing champion. And his replacement is well able to hold down a tune.
It took the 12 rounds to declare Tyson Fury the new champion by unanimous decision and even after expending all that energy and absorbing all those hits, the British fighter of Irish extraction still had enough in the reserve to honour his fans with a special gift.
Following his acceptance speech, Fury launched into an emotionally charged rendition of Aerosmith's classic anthem 'I Don't Want To Miss A Thing.' The crowd in Düsseldorf joined in after the first few bars before Fury ended his performance and kissed his wife on stage.

And, judging by a video of Fury singing Krept & Kronan's rap song 'Freak Of The Week' back at his hotel, it seems the 29 year-old is having no trouble staving off fatigue. He's also managed to garner a few new fans as well.
