Boy George-like Tyson Fury congratulated Tom Aspinall on his UFC title triumph.
At UFC 295, Fury’s former sparring partner Aspinall defeated Sergei Pavlovich to claim the interim heavyweight championship.
Tyson Fury’s purple helmet startled spectators as he congratulated Tom Aspinall on his UFC title triumph.
Boy George is known for his outrageous headgear.
Fury’s hat was also compared to Undertaker’s.
The Gypsy King, sporting a burgundy hat, congratulated Britain’s new champion immediately.
He said: “Congratulations to my brother Tom Aspinall, the new UFC heavyweight champion!
“Best wishes, brother Tom. Nothing could have happened to a nicer person.
“Congratulations to you and your family and I hope you have a fantastic, fantastic time.”
Fury’s unusual headwear was compared to Boy George’s or The Undertaker’s.
A admirer joked, “Boy George has let himself go.”
Jokingly, “What’s that hat sorry.”
He said: “Why’s he dressed like a maroon version of The Undertaker though?”
After Francis Ngannou’s contract expired, Aspinall switched to boxing to try for greatness.
Ngannou, 37, fell to Fury, 35, in Saudi Arabia, dropping the WBC champion but losing on points.
Jon Jones, 36, won the vacant belt and was scheduled to defend it against Stipe Miocic, 41, but injuries postponed the figҺt.
On two weeks’ notice, Aspinall, 30, KO’d Pavlovich, 31, in the first round.
The Northerner wants a fantasy bаttle with Jones next.
He said: “I want to take a break for now.
I’m done figҺting this year. I’m done with nerves and pressure. I want some downtime.
Want to figҺt Jon Jones. I want to figҺt Jon Jones despite the many contenders. That’s my aim.”
Tom Aspinall defeated Sergei Pavlovich in round one.
