Tyson Fury Defeats Dillan Whyte To Retain WBC Heavyweight Title

WBC Heavyweight holder, Tyson Fury has knocked out challenger, Dillian Whyte in the sixth round to retain his World Boxing Council and lineal heavyweight titles.

Fighting in front of an estimated 94,000 fans at London’s Wembley Stadium, Fury (32-0-1, 23 knockouts) was stopped at 2:59 of the sixth round after landing two left jabs before the shot to Whyte’s jaw that stunned the fellow Brit.

Fury then shoved Whyte (28-3, 19 KOs), sending him tumbling backwards to the mat, much to the delight of the crowd.

The fight was Fury’s first since defeating Deontay Wilder in the final leg of their memorable trilogy in October.

Fury has now won his third straight fight by knockout and improved to 8-0-1 in lineal heavyweight championship fights.
