MMA fighters react after Tyson Fury KO’s Dillian Whyte
Tyson Fury put his WBC and The Ring Heavyweight Titles on the line this afternoon when he squared off with Dillian Whyte.
The highly anticipated contest took place at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
Fury (32-0-1) was returning to action for the first time since scoring an eleventh round knockout win over Deontay Wilder in their trilogy fight this past October. ‘The Gypsy King’ confirmed earlier this week that today’s fight against Whyte would be the final bout of his illustrious career.
“I’ve got nothing to prove to anybody, I’m just there to have fun, take in the atmosphere, and enjoy the night. It’s the final farewell. It’s been a long old ride, it’s quite emotional to be honest,” Fury said to a Top Rank correspondent. “All this, the ride of, like, starting as a little kid and wanting to be heavyweight champion, and then to finally be hanging up the gloves. I know nobody believes me because they all think I’m after money or whatever else, there’s only a certain amount of people who know that money don’t mean nothing to me. I’m walking away. I have nothing to prove to nobody.”
Meanwhile, Dillian Whyte (28-2) was returning to action for the first time since March of 2021, where he captured the interim WBC heavyweight title by avenging his previous loss to Alexander Povetkin.
Tonight’s Fury vs. Whyte heavyweight title fight was dominated by ‘The Gypsy King’. The undefeated champion utilized his jab to frustrate and outpoint Whyte before eventually putting him down with an uppercut in round six.
Official Result: Tyson Fury def. Dillian Whyte via KO at 2:59 of Round 6
