Tyson Fury, Considered by many to be the best heavyweight fighter of his era, announced this Saturday that he is saying goodbye to boxing
, after knocking out Dillian Whyte in the sixth round before a packed Wembley stadium: 94,000 Fans filled the stands and vibrated with the fight.
Whyte was surprised in the fight entering as a lefty, but the only ones surprised by the change were the spectators because the ‘Gypsy King’ dominated from the beginning , although his opponent held him back, confronted him, at all times looking for a victory that would give him the World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight belt.
Timid blows between both boxers. For the third the rhythm slowed down, with a Fury who dominated the distances (he is also taller) and with ‘El Villano’ missing his hooks and not finding the gaps to do damage.
In the fourth round things heated up. The referee had to intervene when Fury landed a downward right hand that hurt Whyte
, who hugs him and they go to the indirect duel in a corner; If the Gypsy King is a professional at something, it is in taking his rivals out of concentration, especially when he licked the blood in a challenger’s wound.
Finally for the fifth the champion manages to hurt the challenger. He thinks about his next move, where to finish off to win the fight; the minutes go by and the British evaluates the strategy.
