The first of Fury’s entrance songs on the day was the version of “Blue Moon” that Hatton used as walk-out music himself for years, with Tyson adorned in the colors of Hatton’s beloved Man City, despite Fury himself being a Man United supporter.
You could see some tears in the eyes of Fury during that portion of the walk. Hatton passed away at the age of 46 last year . It was a genuinely nice moment from Fury in tribute to a friend and a beloved fellow British superstar, whose impact went well beyond just the sport of boxing and into the UK’s popular culture.
The rest of Fury’s entrance was a pretty incredible spectacle, featuring a lot of pyrotechnics and a big atmosphere at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
