Fury SINGS Happy Birthday and American Pie to promoter Bob Arum as he makes surprise appearance at Lomachenko fight

TYSON FURY made a surprise appearance at Vasiliy Lomachenko’s fight against Richard Commey to SING Happy Birthday to Bob Arum at Madison Square Garden.

The Brit hopped into the ring, grabbed a mic and started belting his heart out to Arum, who was celebrating his 90th birthday.

Arum was first treated to the arena singing Happy Birthday, followed by an American Pie classic.

WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk was also in New York supporting fellow countryman Lomachenko, who went on to breeze past his opponent and then call out undisputed lightweight champ George Kambosos.

Fury and Usyk posed for a friendly photo alongside Arum.

Boxing fans quickly noticed the size difference between the twohHeavyweights, with some believing Fury would ‘overwhelm’ the Ukrainian.

But boxing isn’t shy of David v Goliath stories.

David Haye famously beat Russian giant Nikolai Valuev for the WBA heavyweight crown back in 2009.

It’s not the first time Usyk and Fury have spoken in recent weeks.

Fury jokingly hopped on FaceTime with Usyk and told him ‘I am coming’ for you.

Fury’s coach Sugarhill Steward said: “Tyson is just being Tyson. He loves the excitement and everything.”
