Dillian Whyte opted for a southpaw stance in the opening round against Tyson Fury in an attempt to prove he could box as well as fight.
The 'Body Snatcher' began the fight in the southpaw stance before switching to orthodox in a bid to stamp his authority on the early stages of the title clash. However the champion dominated the fight throughout and comprehensively outboxed Whyte before landing a huge uppercut to end the fight in the sixth period.
Whyte has admitted Fury's style revolves around taking the initiative in the exchanges, which he tried desperately to seize by switching stances. "He had a game plan and I had a game plan but obviously I was way better than what they fought I was," Whyte told Sky Sports. "I can box as well as fight, a lot of people can accept that and obviously that was a bit of a messer for him as he was looking to do.
