An uppercut from elsewhere and the KO: Tyson Fury blasted Dillian Whyte at Wembley to retain his invincibility and his WBC heavyweight belt following a fight presented as the last of the career of the “Gypsy King”.
Big favorite of this fight concluded at the 6th recovery, Tyson Fury (33 years old) has repeated in recent weeks that he would retire following this shock. “I think this is the end curtain for the Gypsy King“, he launched following his victory. Anyway, Saturday, the giant of 2.06 m electrified the 90,000 spectators of Wembley and increased his invincibility to 33 fights (a draw).

An uppercut of monumental power
Tyson Fury was able to use his size and wingspan to keep his countryman at bay, who looked clumsy and awkward. In a choppy confrontation, he gradually wore down his challenger, cut in the right eye following an accidental clash of heads, with clever if not flamboyant boxing.
Then, as if out of nowhere, an uppercut of monumental power finally sent Dillian Whyte flying at the very end of the 6th round. The challenger managed to get up before staggering into the arms of the referee who ended the fight.
