Tyson Fury "messed up" ring walk because he was so excited about Dillian Whyte fight

Tyson Fury has admitted he "messed up" his ring walk on Saturday evening because he was so excited about the historic event.

The Gypsy King, 33, knocked out heavyweight rival Dillian Whyte in the sixth round to retain his WBC world title and keep his undefeated record intact. The bout was staged in front of 94,000 fans at Wembley, the biggest ever attendance for a boxing fight in Europe.

Fury enjoyed a long ring walk on Saturday evening. It started with a humours monologue - which labelled the crowd "disciples of the Gypsy King" - before the champion started making his way to the ring to the tune of "Juicy" by The Notorious BIG.
