Tyson Fury defeated Wladimir Klitschko by unanimous decision Saturday, but that wasn't his only noteworthy performance of the night.
After ending Klitschko's nearly 10-year reign as heavyweight champion, Fury, who stands six-foot-nine, decided to serenade his wife from the centre of the ring.
Fury's choice of song - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing by Aerosmith - probably could not have been cheesier, but his delivery was a strange mixture of touching and unbearable.
It just wasn't enough for Fury to take Klitschko's WBA, IBF, and WBO heavyweight belts, he had to go and show off his vocal chords too.
Klitschko did not seem impressed, but he will apparently get a chance to exact revenge. According to his promoter Bernd Boente, there is a rematch clause in the contract.
As for the fight itself, referee Tony Weeks went to the judges' scorecards following a bruising encounter that ended with cuts near both of Klitschko's eyes
Cesar Ramos and Raul Caiz Sr. scored it 115-112 each, while Ramon Cerdan had it 116-111 in favour of Fury.
Fury, 12 years younger than the 39-year-old Klitschko, taunted and baited the champion at various stages, prompting jeers from fans at the 55,000-seat soccer stadium in Duesseldorf, Germany
Klitschko, contesting his 28th title fight, was cautious until attempting a recovery in the final rounds, but suffered his first defeat since April 2004.
