By dominating Deontay Wilder in an epic fight in Las Vegas on Saturday by knocking out the American in the 11th round, Tyson Fury demonstrated that he is the greatest heavyweight of his generation.
Without doubt also one of the most fantastic.
His entry into the T-Mobile Arena moments after Deontay Wilder wearing a Nigerian-inspired mask and red fur coat set the tone for this exceptional night in Nevada.
Waiting in the corridor leading him to the arena where 15,000 spectators were waiting for him, the Briton prepared a totally delirious show (from 2'03 '').
He was first preceded by a sort of ancient sorcerer in excessively make-up whose outfit recalls that of the Persian servants of King Jerez in the film "300" by Zack Snyder and his acolyte with a drum.
Just behind, the "Gipsy King" wore a shiny Roman legionary costume with a red crested helmet, framed by bodybuilt gladiator warriors.

A staging that took place on the hit of the hard rock band AC / DC "You Shook Me All Night Long".
Fury took all his time to join the ring, not hesitating to sing the lyrics of the Australian group while miming the guitar solos under the eyes of his wife conquered by the inspiration of her husband and an audience as dumbfounded as amused.
