Tyson Fury lands vicious uppercut to put Dillian Whyte out, retains heavyweight title

If Tyson Fury follows through on his intention to retire, the final punch of his career may wind up being his best.

Fury hit an oncoming Dillian Whyte with a stiff jab and immediately followed it with a blazing right uppercut. The right landed on the point of the chin and Whyte was immediately out cold, doing a dead fall backward.

He managed to get up but staggered into the corner and referee Mark Lyson waved it at 2:59 of the sixth round in front of a deliriously happy crowd of 94,000 pro-Fury fans at Wembley Stadium in London.
