Tyson Fury has serenaded his boxing opponent Wladimir Klitschko in the lead up to Saturday’s world heavyweight title fight in Germany.
Fury, the challenger to Klitschko – one of the most intimidating men in the world – is seeking to win the WBA, IBF and WBO titles off the Ukrainian giant.

The 27-year-old Briton has been confident about his chances in the lead up to the fight, and took the bizarre step to try and throw off Klitschko.
In response to the antics, Klitschko said: “Tyson Fury belongs on Britain’s Got Talent.
“I don’t want to compete with him in a singing contest. I definitely won’t make it. He has better talent than I do in singing.”
The BBC reported Fury looked comfortable during the promotional public workout before the event, at the departure lounge of Dusseldorf Airport.
British pop master Rod Stewart will perform before the fight, which is expected to attract large numbers of travelling supporters for Fury.
“The reality is going to come up and at the end of the day it’s going to be a cold welcome to big-time boxing,” Klitschko warned.
