“A fighting man tastes blood,” Tyson Fury said ahead of his bout with Deontay Wilder. “I want to taste it, rub it, punch it and mix it up.”
It seems that he really did mean it, as he appeared to lick blood off Wilder’s neck on Saturday night.

The spectacular showdown, where the UFC heavyweight world champion title was at stake, ended with a seven-round TKO for Fury, but the madness didn’t stop there.
After paying tribute to his opponent and thanking Jesus for the victory, the Gypsy King sang a touching rendition of Don McLean’s American Pie.

Fans have been taken aback, to say the very least. Some said this performance will go down in history. It most likely will.
Just watched #WildervsFury2 and managed to avoid knowing the result. Sensational performance from @Tyson_Fury. Devastating, destructive and deadly from start to the inevitable finish. Superb. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
