After eight laborious rounds, Tyson Fury belted out his own unique rendition of Walking in Memphis, a performance that proved more entertaining than the preceding action in the same ring. Fury was far from his best during a stoppage victory over Germany-based Romanian Christian Hammer who was pulled out by his corner two thirds of the way through the scheduled 12 rounds. As workman-like a performance as it was, Fury remains on course for a shot at the world’s finest heavyweight Wladimir Klitschko later this year.
