Tyson Fury confirms plan to retire after knocking out Dillian Whyte

Tyson Fury has confirmed he is planning to retire from boxing after knocking out Dillian Whyte at Wembley

The world heavyweight champion viciously stopped Whyte in the sixth round of their mandatory title fight in front of a record-breaking 94,000-person crowd in his home country. He dropped his fellow Brit with a massive uppercut to finish the fight, and now believes his career is over.

He had vowed to finish his fighting journey after defeating Deontay Wilder in their trilogy bout in Las Vegas last year, but has now told wife Paris that he will retire after a stunning homecoming. "I promised my lovely wife Paris of 14 years that after the Wilder 3 fight, that would be it," he told BT Sport after the fight.
