WBC heavyweight champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) spectacularly knocked out mandatory challenger Dillian “The Body Snatcher” Whyte (28-3, 19 KOs) in round six on Saturday night in front of a record 94,000+ fans at London’s Wembley Stadium.
Fury outboxed Whyte for the first five rounds, then sent him crashing to the canvas with a massive right uppercut to the chin. Whyte barely struggled to his feet, but he was done. Time was 2:49.
After the fight, the 33-year-old Fury repeated his pre-fight vow to retire after this fight. “I have to be a man of my word and I think this is it. This might be the final curtain for the Gypsy King. And what a way to go out!”
What a joke ….White waited since 2017 to get his shot and he comes in with this garbage performance
I think Povektin’s uppercut was actually more devastating than Fury’s uppercut. The fight seemed to move in slow motion to me with both men pawing, moving, and feeling each other out the whole fight. Sorry, glad I did not spend any cash to watch this.
You’re not going to be laughing when the police show up at your door and arrest you for theft. You consistently gloat about stealing and watching fights for free…you’re a complete idiot! Fightnews, you’re also responsible for allowing no brains to brag about his illegal activity and are condoning it to an extent.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH Show up to your house and arrest you for streaming a sporting event, hilarious!!!
Berserker, I agree, it’s a hoot that some folks panic over that concept. Pirating has been going on for decades with music, movies, sporting events, educational videos, digital books, etc. Greedy boxing promoters actually encourage pirating activity when they charge ridiculous fees for PPV viewing.
Dude , I watched the fight for free on Mola TV. As far as I am concerned in Italy it was completely free.
Michael, anyone can do a simple internet search and find pirated movies and sporting events online. If the police were going to arrest folks for watching pirated events or movies, nearly everyone in the US would be arrested. Netflix is going after folks who share their passwords with friends and family members. Hmm… Nobody getting arrested for freeloading, simply a monthly surcharge of a few dollars. You can relax Michael, nobody going to get arrested. LOL
I’m sure you’ve scared Scooby straight.
“You’re not going to be laughing when the police show up at your door and arrest you for theft.”
– And YOU call HIM an idiot??
You are clueless.
Dillian Whyte is a warrior and has beaten some dangerous world class men. Tyson showed his class tonight. Try to learn more about a sport that you obviously know nothing about before spout shyte…
Damn Whyte can’t seem to solve that uppercut problem. It’s time to retire Whyte
He really can’t.
It’s always been his Achilles heel.
Way too easy for the greatest in decades…
Tyson fury is the greatest in decades ?
Agreed. Very good but definitely not the greatest *in decades but then again people have very short memories!
Take nothing from TF , wonderful fighter he is possibly best heavyweight since brothers Wladimir and Vitali and as well he as done he as not fought AJ or Uysk !
Wilder was really no more than Micheal Grant/Shannon Briggs .
Yes, the greatest in decades. Except for perhaps Ali, any heavyweight of the last 50 years would have had trouble solving Fury’s style and overcoming his formidable physical advantages.
Best in decades ? Wow. Fury is a good fighter, surrounded by less than elite competition. Passive observer on the subject here. But I would bet on an in prime Riddick Bowe over Tyson. The guy would not be undefeated if not in this Era.
6’4″ Golota pushed Bowe’s shit in twice. You’re an idiot to make such an obvious racist comment. Fury would win every round until about the time he stops Riddick in about 7-8 rounds max. He beats ALL of the heavies in the 90’s not named Lennox.
Possibly L.L. As well. People just can’t admit the guy has skills, a chin, stamina, size and deceptive SPEED. People say “oh he’s sluggish….slow hand speed” those gloves are travelling 1.5 – 2 times the distance we are used to seeing in other boxers. If they are so slow, why do top ranked fighters have trouble seeing them coming at them. Any how in this era he’s the best and I think his overall skill set and size beats all the greats that came before him.
I doubt he beats all the greats he had to work hard twice to beat wilder / whom wouldn’t have have lasted near that long with any of the golden era
Ya, I’m the idiot. He pushed something in. His balls. Might wanna do some homework bout the sport before beakin off like ya got a clue, clown.
Agree 100%
Prime Holyfield ko’s Fury easily
Riddick Bowe? Now, you’re having a laugh!
With Fury’s multitude of gifts, styles and adaptability, Tyson is quickly and easily found in a very short list of the greatest heavyweight champs ever.
Absolutely would not say that….a young Mike Tyson…destroys Fury…. actually Mike’s Cus D’Amato perfected Mike’s peek a boo style just to beat the boxing style used by Fury today..Young Mike was the perfect disciple of the boxing technique used to beat Fury,..Holmes…Lewis…old Foreman …just to name a few….Fury is special but would say the best outside of Ali but that is “your” opinion….
Holmes….Lewis…old Foreman would all beat Fury that is
Don’t get carried away.
The greatest since Lennox Lewis.
This is not even close to being proven, 5 defenses … Brothers Vitali/Wladimir might have a lot to say about that. Could not see him beating Vitali.
Del-Boy Chisora fought and took everything Vitali threw all the way to a decision loss. I believe Vitali couldn’t knock him down either!
He’s going way too far.
I’d say probably since the dinosaurs!
I had it 2 rounds apiece with one even. The ref was horrible. Cheated the fans out of a much better fight by constant interference. Anyway, fairplay I guess. LOL at the “experts” who will credit Fury in any way for this “win.”
Then you are clearly suffering from some type of early onset dementia. Dillian White didn’t win one second of any round. He was absolutely awful. Someone correctly described him as a big ex-taxi driver who someone told, “you should go fight”. No skills whatsoever
I gave Whyte the first because Fury didn’t do anything and Whyte landed to the body. Fury controlled every other round but only really landed one good shot, which ended the fight.
This fight was a wash! Fury killed him!!!! What!!!
Whyte never posed a danger but Tyson wasn’t really hurting him until he landed the upper cut.
If you got in with Whyte, you would be dead in 10 seconds.
It’s easy to be an armchair warrior
More like LOL at the guy who gave Whyte two rounds.
One of the ESPN guys said he gave Whyte Round 4. I don’t see that at all.
Sounds like the ESPN guy didn’t see it either!
If you think Whyte won ANY of those rounds then you were obviously watching a different fight to the rest of us. Whyte wasn’t even close….Fury won every round with EASE!
I thought the referee did well to separate and warn the fighters and take the heat out of the situation. I find it hard to praise the officials but in this case, Lyson did well, in my view.
I thought he did the proper stoppage
hopefully we don’t ever have to see Derek Chisora 2.0 journeyman Dylan white again pure garbage!
that wasnt a KO that bastard push him down!! If you call that a KO your will always be a WWE fan
Reminded me of Hopkins vs Brown. But yes of course it was a knockout.
Troll alert!
If it wasn’t a KO then why wasn’t he able to get to his feet and keep fighting instead of stumbling around like a drunk leaving a bar at 4am? The uppercut absolutely rocked him. He was going down with or without the shove.
He was going down on his face without the shove.
correct
please don’t deny fans a fight with Usyk before you retire champ.
Usyk is VERY skilled. Only drawback is he is smaller. He will give Fury much more competition that Whyte. I agree 100% with you Howard.
an uppercut from the depths of hell to the heights of heaven
wow, good for Fury. delivers just as he should. Awesome………..
Whyte has NO CHIN!! Fury is the greatest Heavyweight of this era! Joshua wouldn’t stand a chance as he’s chinny and lacks game! Usyk is too small!! Maybe it really is time to retire Champ!!
Whyte had been waiting 4 years for this?? $4 million purse for a tomato can. Did he throw one shot with as Gil Clancy used to say, “with bad intentions”. Is Fury THAT skilled???
Whyte is the heavyweight Amir Kahn.
Tyson beat up dillian more than a white policeman with a flashlight. I’m suprised black lives matter didn’t intervene!
The moment was too much for Whyte who gave us some of the wildest and most amateurish missed punches ever during the fight. All around a very disappointing show by Whyte whose decision to boycott the promotion was an insult to boxing.
The KO punch was some spectacular special stuff….say what you want about the opponent..Fury through an old school special combination to end the fight…two jabs while moving backwards then an uppercut to finish…could watch that a thousand times…very technical with the execution,.. beautiful….Fury can fight….the best right now!!!!
*threw…
yup
At Least Sean gets it, thank you Sean!
Very skilled boxing from round 2 through the end. Fury I felt had a feeling out round in the first. After that he had Whyte solved.
Amazing performance champ! Tyson Fury is greatest heavyweight since Lennox Lewis. In my opinion he completely outboxed Whyte from round 2 and up until that awesome uppercut. I selfishly hope the Gypsy king stays around for a few more fights. But if this really IS it, then good luck to you and your family champ and thanks for the memories P.S: A Fury-AJ fight would have ended exactly the same..
Agreed thank you James!
Boxing needs Fury and Fury owes everything to Boxing You retire when fans like and admire you NOT when people start laughing at you But he should fight current World champ Usyk My respect and best wishes for him Thank you
Looked like Whyte was looking for a way out. Props to Fury. Whyte is a tough guy and a hard fight for anyone. Fury is one of the best to ever laced em up.
Disappointed by a lot of these comments
Tyson Fury is an incredible technition
Go back and watch the fight he was slowly setting him up he knew going in whyte would be open for the upper cut
Round four and five he was throwing half hooks which set up the upper cut
Dillian was never anyone special but I guarantee you if he fights Joshua again he will knock him out
Tyson Fury is one of the best fighters in any era and we must give him all the credit in the world
What an incredible story for all of us to watch.
Gets up ro 400lbd depressed suicidal and now Wow!
Thank you Tyson Fury for your humbleness and all the memories!
My last comment. Mills Lane from Vegas was an excellent referee. But he was too small to handle the big heavyweights. He did not do many or possibly any heavyweight title fights. Richard Steele or occasionally Randy Newman did them. This referee was way too small. He could not separate the fighters. All that money and they had Karl Becker(the Mayor of Munchkinland) refereeing. A disgrace IMO.
Eddie Cotton was a great heavyweight ref.
Mills DQ-Ed Tyson for biting Holyfield’s ear.
Mills Lane reffed Holyfield v Tyson 2. He put Tyson in his place after the bite. Admonished him like a little bitch and yelled Bullshit when Tyson lied about telling him. Mills was a bad mofo!!
Mills Lane refereed some of the most incredible heavyweight fights on record/bite fite/.fan man/Lewis Mccall 2
I agree with Darrel 1000 percent
Fury uses his height and reach well. He kept his jab going through the entire fight. It set up everything including the KO punch. He was never seriously hurt and his movement gave whyte problems. Perfect way to retire
And his footwork. Circled and stayed out of range of Whyte.
I don’t like the style of Tyson Fury, but I recognize he is very difficult for anyone. It has been a very boring fight. Before retires Fury should fight Joshua for money (very lucrative fight in UK) or Usyk for trying to retire as undisputed champion. Fury loves too much to be the starring for retiring so early. He will be back.
He will be back trust me they all come back.
Dude is ten feet tall but somehow throws combos like a lightweight.
Big deal, for Whyte all his loses are by KO, and has no significant wins, he’s a bum !!
Rene, other than Anthony Joshua, Dillian Whyte had the most impressive resume of any other Top 10 contender. You can say the Division is weak or most of these guys are unwilling to fight each other coming up, but you can’t call Whyte a bum!
With that said, you can say his performance was awful last night. He didn’t seem to have a Plan “A” let alone a “B”, “C” or beyond. Give Fury his due, but no discerning eye will suggest that it was all because of his greatness. I feel like Whyte was hoping to land one shot and while it was a good upper cut I had said about 30 seconds earlier that Whyte seemed out of gas. Bad performance against a guy who is probably the best of this generation.
Fury vs Joshua is the fight I want
Now? It could happen. But it’s no longer the fight the masses want to see. That fight is Fury v. Usyk to unify the belts.
Good input, but it’s a fight I wanted to see long, long before Usyk vs Joshua.
Usyk is my favorite, all respect to him, I hope he beats Joshua again and gets a chance to unite all the belts.
Now Usyk vs Joshua is a fact, but if we ignore what is in the contract and you can wish a little openly, I would have liked to see Joshua in other fights.
On my list I had Joshua vs Fury as number one and Joshua vs Joyce as number two. In any case, I would have stood on my toes to watch one of these two fights.
If Joshua loses again against Usyk, the colors around him will fade significantly and boxing will lose a strong profile. At the same time, Joshua is both professional and experienced, I am convinced that he made the right decisions for himself.
Zucker, I just want to see Joe Joyce fight anyone again at this point. He looked great against Dubois and I haven’t seen him since. That jab, activity level, coupled with his size and fitness makes him a tough out for any Heavyweight out there. I feel Fury would outmaneuver him, but it would take his best effort.
right never see hear from Joyce since DuBois fight
Joshua is a robot with a glass jaw
Easy win
Let’s be honest people. Fury is probably the best heavyweight right now but he’s nowhere near an all time great fighter yet. Whyte was poor tonight / sure Fury a part of that but Whyte looked v v slow. Too heavy. The Wilder wins are really Fury’s only wins over a peak world class heavy. Yes beating WK was good but v v boring and WK looked old. So 4 wins over world class fighters. And the rest miserable competition. Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson all did far more in the quite recent past. Before you mention Foreman, Holmes, Ali, Frazier etc.
As for retiring, not a chance in hell that happens. Fury can and will make good. Money vs AJ or Usyk and who can blame him? Too skilled for AJ but I think Usyk despite the size issue may be too good for him. Would be a tactical fight.
As for Whyte, it’s a long long road back. I don’t see it after that non-performance. He’s hardly box office.
Fury can fight… irrespective of the competition….though I disagree with he has fought quality opponents…a fighter can still be special and fight bums if that is what the quality of the fighters are …a special fighter don’t choose what era to fight in..,look at Joe Louis…he had a “bum of the month club” but was still a special fighter,..A J though a suspect chin is quite athletic….styles make fights…AJ may not win but he is a big athletic heavyweight that can box…that could give Fury fits
Even this fight was uneventful ! Fury needs to fight the winner of the rematch between Usyk and Joshua and then retire.. Or maybe Yoka or a guy like that, a young lion with skills..
That long uppercut reminded me of Foreman vs Cooney. Fury should use it more, its a great weapon. Foreman could throw it with either hand though. Anyway, thanks for a great night of boxing.
Good analogy…The older Foreman could box….and could hurt you with any punch…
This is how bad the current heavyweight division is. Do you think somebody who is as piss poor as Whyte would get a title shot back in the day.? If he did people would destroy whoever gave him a title show.
Whyte is slow, fat, and has no skills. This is the same Whyte who got knocked out a few years ago by a old senile Alexander Povetkin with 1 punch. Whyte beat a older Povetkin in the rematch and that is good enough to fight for the title?
Oh sure, a guy like Whyte got title shots all the time. They just rarely if ever pulled off the upset and won the title back then.
Just think… Somewhere Deontay Wilder jumped out of his chair after seeing whyte get smacked around so easy and then Fury say he’s sticking to his retirement. I can see wilder just get a spike in self esteem and jump out of his seat and scream “BOMMMMMMMB SQAUUUUUUUUUD!!!” 🙂
I agree helped wilders self esteem
Whyte didn’t had a chance at all! Fury fighting burn out tomato cans as wilder used to do, isn’t helping the heavy weight division! Fury vs wallin 2 next! No more fighting tomato cans!
Tomato cans is rude but I kind of agree that the opposition he has faced throughout his career isn’t helping Fury entering the top 20 of all times.. Some boxing fans are clearly in need of watching the fights of every HW great since Jack Johnson and please don’t compare fighters from different eras.. Tyson Fury probably would’ve beaten Joe Louis, is he greater than him ? No way !
No way he beats a prime Louis-there have always been giant heavyweights.
Next fight will be a non sanctioned bout with Francis Nganou if there is a big enough payday.
Nganou fully ‘roided will be boxed silly by the Gypsy king but he will go the distance. Probably Fury will have to give up the belts by the time AJ Usyk 2
I think these mma/boxing events denigrate both mediums
All the best fights has a good quality full fight replay up now. Don’t know for how long.
No surprise here. Fury, who is laughably considered a “champion”, and has the body of an alcoholic with a blubbery tire around his waistline, effortlessly knocks out Whyte, who has no more business in the ring than a retired NFL lineman. If you know how to throw an uppercut, Whyte can be knocked out with it whenever you choose to use it. Good payday for both, but from a historical perspective, both fighters are bums, with Fury’s height advantage making him appear better than he really is. Whyte needs to retire. Fury says this is his last fight, and I wish that were true, but I suspect he will continue trying to make as much money as possible, fighting as little as possible.
We all have an opinion…an athlete’s physique is not always an indication of his skill…Hell Vince Lombardi once call Dick Butkus a fat linebacker….Butkus made the great Vince Lombardi eat his words….Fury is due his credit despite his physique….Dude is special he can FIGHT!!! He did beat Klitschko and Wilder….The fact that he got up from four knockdowns from one of the greatest punchers in boxing history….is special alone…Fury is quite the skilled fighter..that punch combination used to finish Whyte was kind of Ali ish….some special stuff
Damn!! I know fury is something else, but expected better from Mr whyte, he is done now!!!
Klitschko and Tyson in their primes would have beat anybody in the last 10 years in boxing
Mike Tyson?
Tyson fury mike Tyson was 5’10
No way in hell was not dedicated long enough
Never beat anyone but an old Larry Holmes
Much more than ten years. Up until the 90’s boxing wasn’t a worldwide competition at all. It was an almost all American monopoly. Andrew Golota was the first eastern European or Russian heavyweight to break into the big time heavyweight scene, and if he wasn’t such a nut and so mixed up with the Polish mob he would have won the championship definitively defeating the supposed best heavyweight in the world at the time, Riddick Bowe.
Hype jobs like M. Ali never even boxed one single eastern European or Russian or African or Cuban, and half the Americans he fought he only “won” by the fight being fixed one way or another.
Thank God I did not buy this dog. Boring lousy fight. Shame Usyk is embroiled in Ukraine. Would love to see him match his skill set against Fury.
Usyk has left Ukraine and is in training to face Anthony Joshua in the contracted rematch.
Maybe Fury realizes that Usyk would dance rings around him and make him look clumsy so he’s quitting while he’s ahead.
Undercard was HORRIBLE !!
The worst.
The greatest in decades? No. The greatest in 2022, maybe. He would have been a gatekeeper at best 20 years ago. But he’s legit and earned my respect.
He would be in the top ten in any era that I have seen going back to Rocky Marciano beating up a faded Joe Louis.
I hear you but he is not even close to earning the right. Can you imagine him in with say Tim Witherspoon, or Peak Tony Tucker or Ray Mercer.
Joshua needs to come Clubbed Lang style: don’t give this sucker no statue give him guts!
There is just something about fury I just don’t like, but I really have to give him his due, and right now at this time, he is indeed the best there is right now
well lets just get to the fight with Fury vs the rematch winner
Tyson was magnificent, did what he needed to and was speedy, used distance and guile. Now taking nowt from TF, Whyte is already damaged goods.. 2 heavy KO defeats before and too many hard fights, before this as well as coming in heavy.
No point comparing TF to former greats as he is not going to fight enough times against challengers or wants to. It would be nice to see if he actually is the best of his era for real, by hey that’s up too him
a real legend or just have us believe he his. Joe Joyce is awaiting also Uysk and AJ.
