'Legend' Fury takes the throne

'The Gypsy King' Tyson Fury looking at his regal best before retaining his world title against fellow Brit Dillian Whyte.

"I've never experienced anything like that before - I messed up my ring walk!" said Fury, who came out in a red-and-white gown, blowing kisses to the crowd before fireworks illuminated Wembley.

Fury jogged to the ring and sat on a throne before showing he was the king of the heavyweights.

"He didn't just fight a world champion in this game," Fury said.

"I'm a legend... what a way to top it all off."

Tyson Fury makes his way to the ring on a throne at Wembley Stadium.

Despite fighting a fellow Brit, the charismatic and colourful Fury was the clear fan favourite in front of a national boxing record crowd of 94,000.

Fury earned a whopping $40 million for the fight but he says that was not his motivating factor.

"It's never been about money. I drive in an '07 (Volkswagen) Passat! I know money can't make happiness... all I ever want to do is win!"
