Can any heavyweight beat Tyson Fury? A man that size shouldn’t be that agile and skilled. That uppercut must have felt like it came from under the ring to Whyte. Hardest punch in boxing is the one you don’t see and the uppercut was landed perfectly by Fury.

Tyson Fury has enough capacity to decimate his opponent and still put up a musical show afterwards. What an entertainer!

Tyson Fury, once 400+ pounds, comes back and faces the fiercest puncher in heavyweight history and beats him 3 times. Then comes home to put on another boxing masterclass and finishes in ridiculous style. A genius boxer, a man mountain and now a genuine knock out artist. King 👑

After Fury’s uppercut, Whyte tried to get back to his feet but the referee stopped the fight when he stumbled.
Whether or not Fury decides to continue fighting, he made his statement on Saturday with a brilliant showing in front of a record crowd at Wembley Stadium. A sellout of 94,000 turned up to watch and they got their money’s worth.
