TYSON FURY continued his bizarre Mexican theme as he entered the ring in a sombrero, poncho with a Mariachi band playing.

The Gypsy King, 31, takes on Otto Wallin in Las Vegas on Mexican Independence weekend.

And Fury - who changed his nickname to El Rey Gitano for the fight - wore red, white and green shorts and gloves for his heavyweight bout.

It is fair to say Twitter was left somewhat baffled by the entrance - but loved it nonetheless.

One person wrote: "Tyson Fury in the all Mexico attire lmao."

Another said: "Fury rocking the Mexico poncho. Dudes a living legend."

A third added: "Tyson Fury is looking to confuse every Andy Ruiz Jr fan as Mexico's champion."

And user simply put: "Fury decked out in Mexico colors is great."

TO THE MEX

Earlier in the week, Fury donned a Mexican-style mask at the weigh-in as well as a green, red and white headband during training after claiming he "almost feels Mexican" as he fights for the WBC Mayan belt.

The belt is not a recognised title but has been made famous by Mexican legend Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.

And just like his American theme last time out, the 6ft 9ins star tried to appeal to his new audience in the traditional Vegas bout around September 16.

He said: "It comes at a great time and isn’t it a great thing that a total outsider from this country is showing so much love, passion and respect for the Mexican people?

"We have Mexicans on the team, we have our trainer Jorge. He has been with us for the last few camps here.

"We have got a lot of Mexican influence around us here. We show respect to all cultures and religions and all walks of life.
