Tyson Fury pleaded with ref to stop Dillian Whyte fight after brutal knockdown

Tyson Fury pleaded with the referee to stop the contest when Dillian Whyte stumbled towards the referee after the brutal winning knockdown.

The pair clashed in a historic duel at Wembley Stadium in front of a raucous 94,000 crowd with Whyte looking to seize the world glory he had waited over 1700 days for. However he quickly became on the back foot from the first bell and was comprehensively outboxed by Fury who quickly dismantled his challenge.

Fury detonated his right hand in the sixth round which sent Whyte crashing to the canvas in the first significant opening of the contest. Whyte rose to his feet clearly on extremely shaky legs and it was quickly evident that his night would shortly be over.
