Watch Tyson Fury’s incredible Apollo Creed-style ring walk for fight with Tom Schwarz
TYSON FURY brilliantly dressed as Apollo Creed for his win over Tom Schwarz in Las Vegas.
The Brit is looking to crack America and made a good start by coming out in the Rocky character's stars and stripes shorts, dressing gown and top hat.
Fury, 30, told fans to expect a special entrance and certainly delivered - before winning by a resounding second-round KO.
In true Rocky style, he entered the ring to James Brown's 'Living in America', with dancers performing in the background.
Supporters praised the Gypsy King's "brilliant" walk out on social media.
One fan wrote: "Oh wow this Tyson Fury ring walk is brilliant! Dressed as Apollo Creed from Rocky 4 & James Brown's Living in America blasting out 🤣 #FurySchwarz #boxing"
Another said: "Tyson Fury's ring walk is everything I needed in life."
While one said: "Tyson Fury's walk out is amazing.
"A serious, hooded black robe on turned into a stars and stripes hat and vest, with James Brown Living in America playing and Vegas girls with huge wings welcoming him into the ring LOL #FurySchwarz"
Creed, played by Carl Weathers in the Rocky films, wore the iconic US colours during his reign as world champion.
But he famously died in Rocky IV after making a huge show and dance of his ring-walk to face Russian Ivan Drago.
