Tyson Fury knocks out Dillian Whyte with right uppercut to defend WBC heavyweight title

Tyson Fury has kept hold of his WBC heavyweight title following a stunning one punch knockout over Dillian Whyte.

The Gypsy King controlled the fight from the offset and throughout as his opponent scrambled while trying to close the distance, before a picture perfect right uppercut in the sixth sat down Whyte to see Tyson retain his honour.

Fury set traps by touching the body of Whyte throughout the bout, which forced the challenger to drop his guard opening up an opportunity for the knockout blow - and although Whyte made it up in time for the count, the referee had seen enough as he was still visually wobbled on his feet.
