It’s fair to say Jamie Foxx missed a few notes during his rendition of the US national anthem before the ‘Fight of the Century’ last Saturday.

But not to worry, Twitter users were typically understanding about his glass-shattering performance…

Foxx has now defended his mishap on the Ellen show, explaining that his “ears came out”.

“Some people were upset by how it went down,” said Foxx, who also revealed he was rooting for Floyd Mayweather. “But what did happen, in the ring, my ears came out. My inner ears.”

It sounds disgusting, but we’re prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt…
