Tyson Fury celebrated his WBC world heavyweight title on Saturday night with a raucous star-studded after-party in Las Vegas.
Earlier in the evening, sports fans around the world watched as Deontay Wilder lost his heavyweight title to the 31-year-old British boxer after Wilder’s corner threw in the towel to consign him to defeat in the seventh round.
The high-octane event was watched on by several celebrities, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Tyson’s brother Tommy Fury and his girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague.

On a high from his victory, Tyson joined his sibling Tommy, singer Liam Payne and former reality star Mark Wright as he took to the DJ podium at Las Vegas club Hakkasan for the celebrations.
In videos shared by Mark Wright from the bash, the Gypsy King, who emerged from the seven rounds relatively unscathed, can be seen taking to the mic as he addressed his legion of fans in a suit emblazoned with images of his imposing figure.
Talking to the excitable audience, Tyson exclaimed: ‘who’s here for a f**king party?’ before starting a chant in front of a huge crowd of gathered fans.
As the newly-crowned champion celebrated with friends and family, Steve Aoki kept the party going with a DJ set while the club’s waitresses welcomed him to the venue wearing boxing robes and gloves and signs saying ‘the king has returned’.

Later, Aoki shouted: ‘Vegas, give it up for Tyson Fury,’ before serenading the boxer with his favourite tune Sweet Caroline.
The gesture egged Tyson on to start a singalong to American Pie, the Don McLean’s song his sung just moments after his title win while his pals popped bottles of Dom Pérignon.
Former One Direction star Liam also stopped by the bash having watched Tyson win earlier on in the night from his ring-side seat.
At one point, the Strip That Down crooner joined Aoki, who shared the moment on Snapchat, on stage to perform Get Low on the night.

Following his win, Tyson expressed his delight in reclaiming the heavyweight throne after the Gypsy King stunned Deontay Wilder to win the WBC championship.
Fury dominated from start to finish, winning every round and scoring two knockdowns before Wilder’s corner threw in the towel in an unforgettable night of boxing.
Following the contest, the 31-year-old could not contain his joy at becoming heavyweight champion once again, capping off a remarkable journey from the depths of depression to the summit of the sport.
‘A big shout out to Deontay Wilder,’ Fury said. ‘He came here tonight and he manned up and he really did show the heart of a champion.

Has a ring to it: The Gypsy King put in a performance for the ages, knocking Wilder down twice before his corner threw in the towel
‘I hit him with a clean right that dropped him and he got back up. He is a warrior. He will be back. He will be champion again. But I will say, the king has returned to the top of the throne!’
Fury is now the first man to ever win every single version of the heavyweight title in his career, having clinched the WBA, WBO and IBF belts Anthony Joshua now holds after his win over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.
Wilder has 30 days to trigger his rematch clause to set up a trilogy fight after the pair fought out a thrilling draw in Los Angeles in December 2018.
It was announced earlier that Wilder was set to head to the hospital after suffering a nasty bleed to the ear during his brutal loss but he instead received treatment in his dressing room. His coach, Jay Deas, said the 35-year-old may require stitches.
