TYSON FURY was carried to the ring on a throne, adorned with a crown and red cape, ahead of his heavyweight title clash with Deontay Wilder.
Fans sang “Fury’s on fire” as ‘Free From Desire’ by GALA rang around as he began his ring walk for Sunday morning’s rematch, the Gypsy King revving himself up by shouting into the distance.

He then emerged into the MGM Grand on a platform held up by four women dressed in gold.
Rather than a furious, up-tempo tune to gee up his supporters in Las Vegas, the dawdling 1961 song ‘Crazy’ by Patsy Cline rang around the arena.
Fury walked off the platform and down steps to reveal a black dressing gown.
Upon entering the ring itself, his team took the crown off and began his final preparations while Wilder kicked off his ring walk.
But viewers were left lauding Fury’s entrance as stealing the pre-fight show.
One Twitter fan dubbed it: “So majestic and so beautiful I love this sport so much.”
