Tyson Fury — one of the toughest fighters on the planet — is showing off his softer side by releasing a cover of one of his favorite songs … and it’s for a really good cause!!
The heavyweight boxer just delivered his own rendition of Neil Diamond‘s 1969 classic hit, “Sweet Caroline” … and we gotta admit, it’s solid!!
The 34-year-old — along with background singers — hit every note on the track … including the iconic chorus, “Sweet Caroline, good times never seemed so good!”
But, Fury wasn’t just showing off his pipes for the heck of it — the profits earned from this single will go toward Talk Club, a charity that focuses on men’s mental health.
Fury has been vocal about his struggles with the same cause … and previously said he hopes he can be an example for those dealing with similar issues.
No word on what the O.G. crooner thinks of the cover … but we know Don McLean was thrilled when the 32-0 boxer performed “American Pie” after his rematch win against Deontay Wilder.
McLean told TMZ Sports at the time … “I would say he’s the #1 bar room singer.”

Fury’s first live performance of “Sweet Caroline” could very well come next month … when he defends his WBC heavyweight title against Derek Chisora.
