Tyson Fury emerged unscathed from a turbulent fight week to cement his place among the greats of heavyweight boxing with a stunning TKO win over Dillian Whyte in what “The Gypsy King” said would be his final bout.
Fury had to face a barrage of questions about his relationship with Daniel Kinahan, his former advisor and one of three men named as leaders of the Kinahan organized crime gang recently sanctioned by US authorities.
The British boxer engaged in a number of combative interviews in the lead-up to his WBC heavyweight bout with Whyte, saying Kinahan’s situation was none of his business and that he had nothing to do with the Irishman.
All that was forgotten on Saturday as Fury entered the ring and unloaded a sixth-round uppercut that left Whyte unable to continue in the opinion of the referee. The vast majority of the Wembley Stadium crowd roared their approval as Fury went from zero to hero again.
“I cannot believe that my 94,000 countrymen and women come here tonight to see me perform.”
