Dillian Whyte Says Tyson Fury Pulled ‘Illegal’ Move in Heavyweight Title Bout

Boxer Tyson Fury retained his heavyweight crown with a knockout of British fighter Dillian Whyte on Saturday in London.

The 33-year-old Fury knocked out Whyte with a sixth round uppercut and vowed to retire from boxing and potentially pursue an MMA fight against heavyweight star Francis Ngannou in 2023.

“I have to be a man of my word, and I think this might be the final curtain for the Gypsy King, and what a way to go out,” Fury said after the fight.

Fury had promised his wife that he would retire after beating Deontay Wilder last year, but Fury changed his mind and opted to defend his heavyweight crown against Whyte in London over the weekend.
