Tyson Fury leapt onto the ring apron and hailed "that's how you do it big man" to cousin, Nathan Gorman, after the 25-year-old became IBF International Heavyweight champion with a first-round stoppage against Tomas Salek.
Gorman marked his comeback after 22 months away from the ring with a statement victory after knocking out his Czech opponent in the first round.
He was the main event at the Wasserman Boxing card at the M&S Bank Arena and shortly before his ring walk, Fury made his way to the ring - in typical Gyspy King fashion.
It was Gorman's 13th KO in his professional career and knocked Salek down early as he stamped his mark on the fight. A right-hook in the opening stages of the bout sent his opponent to the canvas but was soon up to his feet after the eight count.
