Video: Tyson Fury issues a challenge to Wladimir Klitschko through the power of song

It ain't over till the heavyweight boxer sings

If the fight doesn’t happen, Tyson Fury has another career to fall back on

And if singing doesn’t work, we think he’d be perfect for the WWE. But in the meantime the heavyweight boxer has his eyes set on Wladimir Klitschko and has issued a challenge no self-respecting champion can refuse. He’s called out the Ukrainian through the power of song.

Fury defeated Christian Hammer at the O2 in London last night, and then took the microphone to sing his own version of ‘Walking in Memphis’, receiving a slightly bemused reaction from the crowd.

The British and European champion then breaks off from singing, and shouts ‘I want Klitschko next’.

This isn’t the first time the boxer has serenaded the crowd after a fight. The undefeated Fury treated American audiences to this effort almost two years ago.

Fury’s the number mandatory challenger for Klitschko’s WBO title. If he can sing straight after a haymaker from the Ukrainian we’ll be impressed.
