The Gypsy King is still atop the heavyweight throne.
In what was teased as his farewell fight in professional boxing, Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) sparked out Dillian Whyte (28-3, 19 KOs) with a wicked uppercut in Round 6 to retain his WBC heavyweight title. Fury was up on the scorecards at the time of the stoppage and had otherwise showed his superiority in what was a bit of a rough, stop-start championship match in front of over 90,000 fans at Wembley Stadium in London.
This was Fury’s first fight since his trilogy KO win over Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas, and the British crowd showed up in droves to witness this homecoming.
