Britain’s Tyson Fury beat Dillian Whyte by technical knockout in the 6th round on April 23, 2022 in London. The Briton retained his WBC world heavyweight champion belt against his compatriot. The one nicknamed “The Gipsy King” has confirmed that he will retire after this fight.
Dillian Whyte collapsed on a right uppercut signed Tyson Fury in the 6th round. The Jamaican-born boxer tried to pull himself together to chase that heavyweight world championship from the WBC, one of the big four professional boxing federations. But the arbitrator preferred to stop the charges.
In any case, there was no match between the two Britons. Whyte, 3 defeats now for 28 victories, failed to find the solution against Fury, still undefeated in 33 fights (32 wins, 1 draw). The defending champion, taller, more massive, more technically gifted, never seemed in danger in front of the 94,000 spectators at the mythical Wembley Stadium.
He did not suffer against Whyte as he suffered during his trilogy against the American Deontay Wilder or during his victory against the Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko.
Under the gaze of Francis Ngannou
After a huge show during which he made London spectators sing, Tyson Fury, 33, confirmed that he was retiring with this victory. Cameroonian Francis Ngannou, world champion in mixed martial arts (MMA), was present in the stands. Fury has repeatedly provoked him on social media in recent months. Will “The Gipsy King” have a last fight against the UFC fighter?
