Tyson Fury has serenaded heavyweight rival Wladimir Klitschko with a version of the Bette Midler classic Wing Beneath My Wings.
"I was impressed," Klitschko said of the song performed at a public training session ahead of their world title fight in Germany this weekend.
"If it was down to singing, I'd have no chance. But things look different when it comes to boxing."
The serenade on Wednesday was the latest in a series of mind games the English boxer has performed ahead of his challenge in Dusseldorf for the IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO crowns held by the champion Ukrainian.
On Tuesday, Fury gave Klitschko a sniff, and in September he dressed up as Batman and wrestled with Joker at a London press conference
The song on Wednesday was not the first time the 2.06-metre tall boxer has sung in public. He belted out the same tune after beating American Kevin Johnson in Belfast in December 2012, and sang again when he defeated American Steve Cunningham in New York in April 2013.
The singing on fight night will be led by legendary Scottish singer Rod Stewart performing before the bout, although Fury has indicated he's keen to team up for a duet if he prevails to claim Klitschko's four belts.
"I will enchant the fans, perhaps with a duet with Rod Stewart," Fury said.
