VIDEO: Tyson Fury Caps Incredible Win Over Deontay Wilder by Singing 'American Pie' With Fans
By Mark Powell
As we've stated previously, Tyson Fury is just crazy enough to make this work. After defeating Deontay Wilder in convincing fashion, Fury sang 'American Pie' with his Las Vegas fans. Knowing Fury's personality like we do, none of this should be surprising, and it may even be an attempt to troll.

Don McLean didn't write such a song for this type of use, but hey, we're all for some improv and karaoke.
Fury came at Wilder early and often, proving his own strategy correct in that his best path to victory was to stun his opponent early. A punch to the head, which knocked Wilder off-balance and eventually took his legs out from under him, proved to be more than enough to give Fury a decisive edge.
Deontay Wilder wanted to go out on his shield against Tyson Fury.

Despite Fury's resounding victory, this is unlikely to be the last time these two champions meet. Outside of Fury, Wilder and Anthony Joshua, the heavyweight division is lacking true stardom. This means taking advantage of sequels and, in what's likely to come, a third chapter.
