Gervonta Davis paid tribute to Michael Jackson with a spectacular ringwalk on Saturday night.
The American prospect secured a comfortable third round stoppage victory over Liam Walsh at London's Copper Box Arena - but grabbed the headlines with his walk-on attire.
Accompanied by Floyd Mayweather as he made his way to the ring, Davis, 22, wore a sparkling jacket and hat in homage to the famous singer.
Davis also walked out to MJ hit Beat It and received a mixed reaction from the predominately British crowd.
His fight shorts matched the jacket - and he produced just as sterling of a performance in the ring.
It was Davis' first defence of his IBF super-featherweight championship and despite a cagey start, he came to life in the third round.
A succession of heavy blows sent previously-unbeaten Walsh to the deck and the referee stopped the fight shortly afterwards.
