On a night where he extended his undefeated record to 33 fights and subsequently defended his WBC and lineal heavyweight world championship belts, Tyson Fury 'The Gypsy King' announced his retirement. After his win over Dillian Whyte, the 33-year-old announced that tonight would be his last ever fight.
The fight was a stunning display from Fury, who kept Dillian Whyte at bay before flooring his opponent with a swift and stunning knockout in the sixth round. After the fight, he said: “I think this is it. This might be the final curtain for The Gypsy King.”
After going professional in 2008, Fury worked his way through the ranks to earn a world heavyweight championship shot against Wladimir Klitshcko in 2015. With nobody giving the Wythenshawe-born fighter a chance, he was able to box without fear, winning in Cologne via decision to become WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO, and The Ring heavyweight champion of the world.
