Defending champion Tyson Fury and the challenger Dillian Whyte faced the WBC in a title match at Wembley Stadium in front of 94,000 spectators.
The match progressed under Fury’s fine command, and Whyte didn’t get very many good hits for the reigning champion.
In the sixth installment, Fury knocked out Whyte with a hook shot at the end of the installment. Whyte tried to get up but couldn’t get up anymore. The referee ruled the match over.
Fury, 33, is ending his career at the top of his career. He has said he will end his career in this match. As a pro, he won 32 times and never lost.
The final decision seemed to hold even after a winning match. Apparently it still doesn’t exist.
– I wanted to fight at Wembley, I owed it to the British fans. I have to be a man the length of my words, so this is perhaps my last show.
The champion had enough praise for the opponent.
– Whyte is a warrior. I think he will become a world champion. But today he faced another warrior. He has a lion’s heart, but he was faced with the best heavyweight boxer on the planet. I think that Lennox Lewis would be proud of that top hook, Tyson Fury was in the mood after the match was decided.
