Eddie Hearn agrees with Dillian Whyte over "foul" in Tyson Fury knockout defeat

Eddie Hearn believes Dillian Whyte was fouled by Tyson Fury - but rejected the fighter's call for a rematch.

Whyte was thoroughly dominated by Fury over six rounds on Saturday night in their world heavyweight title fight before the champion stopped him with an uppercut. But Whyte has been calling for a rematch since, insisting that he was illegally pushed during the sequence that saw him dropped and ultimately deemed unable to continue.

And even though Hearn agrees with Whyte's contention, he doesn't believe that it's a severe enough foul to have changed the outcome after Fury's uppercut. The Matchroom Boxing boss would like to see Whyte get another world title shot, but believes Fury should now move on to an undisputed fight with Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk.
