British boxer Tyson Fury celebrated his shock victory against Ukraine's Wladimir Klitschko to win the world heavyweight title with an impromptu rendition of an Aerosmith song.

The 27-year-old from Manchester won the match against the reigning champion in Dusseldorf, Germany, to end Klitschko's 11-year winning streak.

And having been announced the winner by unanimous decision, he marked his unexpected victory by serenading the crowd with the rock band's classic 'I don't want to miss a thing'.

The unbeaten boxer dedicated the song to his "UK fans, Irish fans, American fans and new German fans" - and to his wife, Paris.

Klitschko was widely expected by commentators to win the bout but Fury said he was never in doubt he would triumph.

He said: "I knew all along I could win the fight. Wladimir knew, his full team knew tonight.

"I saw in his eyes tonight he was going to lose the fight and he saw the new, hungry champion in me.

"God gave me the ability to do like I've done and I want him to thank him for that. With God, anything is possible."
