TYSON FURY broke down in tears after knocking out Deontay Wilder in the 11th round of their trilogy clash.
The Gypsy King recovered from two knockdowns in the fourth round to dominate his opponent and successfully defend his WBC world title.
After exchanging a few words with Wilder, Fury took a moment to take in what he accomplished.
He lent on the ropes and broke into tears as brother Shane and close friend Tim Allcock draped their arms across his shoulders.
Once he composed himself he shared a kiss with wife Paris in the ring before conducting his post-fight interviews.
Fury then took the microphone and belted out his own rendition of ‘Walking in Memphis’ – though changed it to ‘Walking in Vegas’ given the location of the fight.
Once that was over he bid farewell to the crowd by singing “Lancashire la, la, la. Lancashire, la la la!”
He also shouted: “Las Vegas I love you baby!”

It has become something of a tradition for the Gypsy King to sing a classic American ballad after claiming victory in the U.S. having sung ‘American Pie’ after his first bout with Wilder.
Vegas and the T-Mobile Arena was a fitting venue for the dramatic affair, with Fury landing the first blow when he sent Wilder to the canvas in the third.
But the Brit had to overcome some very nervy moments before securing victory.
Fury experienced every kind of emotion – as did Shaquille O’Neal the Las Vegas crowd – but said he could sense victory once he first sent Wilder down.
