If that was Tyson Fury’s final punch of his boxing career, it was a wicked shot.
In front of 94,000 fans at London’s Wembley Stadium, the WBC heavyweight champion Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) sparked out Dillian Whyte (28-3, 19 KOs) towards the end of the 6th round with a wicked uppercut in an otherwise cagey, ugly fight with a lot more rough-housing than free-flowing boxing.
Whyte bizarrely came out in a southpaw stance in Round 1, even though his money punch is the left hook. That strategy lasted all of a round, then Fury amusingly switched to southpaw in Round 2 for a brief period of time.
