AS WE’VE ALL come to realise during the build-up to last night’s heavyweight championship bout, Tyson Fury is a little different from the rest.
But, there’s no accounting for taste.
We had presumed that his performance of Bette Midler’s warbling ballad ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’ at the media workout a couple of days ago was just mind games, that it was all done to unsettle Wladimir Klitschko.
But it turns out that Fury simply loves to belt out awful songs.
After being crowned champion, he instantly grabbed the microphone and dedicated his subsequent performance of Aerosmith’s ‘I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing’ to his wife.
The irony of a tough guy celebrating the biggest boxing win of his career with a song that includes the lyric ‘Even when I dream of you/the sweetest dream will never do’ was lost on no one.
Still, it was all extremely terrifying.
