WATCH: Heavyweight boxer Tony Bellew celebrates incredible albatross in Wentworth

Daniel Dubois gave Anthony Joshua a shock in their hotly contested heavyweight title fight on Saturday night.
But perhaps the British boxer's most impressive blow this week came on the golf course.
Tony Bellew was playing in the pro-am at the prestigious BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
And on the first hole, the Liverpool man holed his way to the 479-par 5 for a stunning albatross.
If that wasn't impressive enough, how about his celebrations?
I see a lot @BMWPGA for the best experience of my shortest golf career to date! There are many pros and cons but nothing will ever surpass the Albatross! I'm still amazed! 185 yards on the hole! #Golf #BMW @HALLIWELLJONES pic.twitter.com/VU7b3VBI90

The former heavyweight champion broke free from the ropes of his jubilant caddy and played a forward pass before finishing on one knee and showing his fingers in celebration.
It recalled the goal celebrations of former Spurs and Liverpool player Robbie Keane despite Bellew being a die-hard Everton fan.
Bellew later described it as “the best experience of my very short golf career so far”.
He was back on the golf course a few days later although he didn't find the same magic at his local club – the famous S&A Golf Club in Southport.
Back home in my usual way @SandGolfClub no repeat of the Albatross but a few pars and lost balls to resume my normal level of play! #Golf #KhiyaAndT #Drugs #UTFT pic.twitter.com/WyYAoGmoSZ
