Tyson Fury vs Whyte LIVE: Result as Fury knocks out Whyte at Wembley
Follow all the fallout from Fury vs Whyte at Wembley Stadium
Tyson Fury retained the WBC heavyweight title with a stunning knockout of Dillian Whyte on Saturday night, remaining unbeaten by stopping his challenger in the sixth round at Wembley Stadium.
A crowd of 94,000 had gathered in the London venue to watch one of the biggest clashes in the history of British heavyweight boxing, and both fighters received plenty of cheers as they made their entrances for the main event – though Fury, 33, was clearly the fan favourite for those in attendance. The “Gypsy King” entered the fight undefeated and emerged the same way, improving his record to 32-0-1 (23 knockouts), while handing Whyte the third loss of the Jamaican-born Londoner’s professional career.
Fury had looked the sharper fighter all throughout the bout as Whyte, 34, struggled to manage range. The challenger was jabbing from too great a distance and missing with wild overhand rights as he looked to get closer to the champion. Late in the fifth round, Fury stung Whyte with a one-two. One round later, it was all over. Whyte parried a jab but left his right hand high, obscuring his own vision as Fury drilled an uppercut into the “Bodysnatcher”’s jaw. Whyte collapsed to the canvas, and although he beat the referee’s count, the fight was waved off as Whyte fell into the official’s arms. “I think this is it, it might be the final curtain,” said Fury afterwards, having claimed ahead of the event that he would retire. “And what a way to go out”.
