Tyson Fury knocked a man down with an 'invisible punch' from across the ring, and people are wondering how he managed to do it.
Of course, he had a bit of magical help from Steven Frayne - aka Dynamo - who taught him the trick as part of his latest special, Dynamo Is Dead.
The big selling point of this special was the final trick, where Frayne would be buried alive and have to claw his way out of a grave.
He told LADbible that when he first came up with the idea for the stunning set piece he 'didn't actually care if he got out' but had since found a renewed passion for a new type of magic.

We know Frayne from the incredible tricks, stunts and illusions he's pulled off over the years, but he's been particularly excited to bring others in on the magic this time, including boxer Tyson Fury.
For one segment of the show, he taught Fury how to pull off an 'invisible punch' where the boxer knocked a man down from across the ring, and it certainly seemed to make Tyson feel better.
Standing in the ring with Fury, the magician told the boxer to 'imagine all that negative energy, even the doubt you had in yourself' was going to be released.
Dynamo had Fury look at his opponent James and throw a punch when he felt ready to do so, and after a few breaths, the boxer jabbed into thin air as James tumbled to the floor (don't worry, he was fine).

Fury said the moment had been 'ego-boosting', while fans of the boxer who watched Dynamo Is Dead are wondering how he managed to do it and whether he could break it out in his next fight.
One viewer said they wished ;Dynamo had been ringside for Fury's fight against Francis Ngannou'.
Others said they hoped everything the boxer has learned will help him in his upcoming bout against Oleksandr Usyk, which is pencilled in for February.
By the way, not to spoil Dynamo Is Dead for those of you who are still catching up with it, but of course Frayne managed to make his way through five tonnes of soil and get out of the six-foot grave he'd been buried in.

He'd given himself three minutes to get out before he'd run out of air and broke out in two minutes and 47 seconds.
Some fans think a clever camera change obscured some of the magic, while others are just wowed that he'd go through with such a daring stunt.
