Tyson Fury has told his wife Paris she is a 'lucky lady' after the champion boxer was named the world’s sexiest sportsman.
The Gypsy King was given the tag after asked 2,000 UK-based women to rate the sexiness of 30 male sports stars on a scale of 1-10.
Fury responded to the news in typically humorous fashion by telling his wife just how lucky she is!
Speaking in an Instagram video, Fury said: "Paris, just a quick one. I’ve just been voted the sexiest sports man alive for the first time.
"Beat [Cristiano] Ronaldo, pipped him at the post. Get up there! You’re married to the sexiest sportsman alive according to 2,000 women."
He then winked at the camera before uttering: "You lucky lady."
Fury beat off competition from other sports including football, golf and mixed martial arts.
On the list were football superstars Ronaldo and Lionel Messi who once again reignited their rivalry.
UFC star Conor McGregor took tenth place while Messi was placed in ninth, one place below golfer Roy McIlory.
Manchester City star Jack Grealish was next on the list in seventh place with teammate Erling Haaland picking up sixth.
Cristiano Ronaldo's ripped physique could only help him secure fifth, one place above F1 star Lewis Hamilton.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end and boyfriend of pop star Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, took his place on the podium in third while Fury's rival Anthony Joshua claimed second place.
Fury will be hoping he doesn't take too many hits to his endearing features when he takes on Oleksandr Usyk on February 17.
The pair will finally face off in a world heavyweight title unification bout in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Usyk is expected to provide the biggest test of Fury's career so far after the Ukrainian scored back-to-back victories over Anthony Joshua before beating fellow Brit Daniel Dubois in August.
