Tyson Fury finished Dillian Whyte with a massive uppercut KO at Wembley Stadium.

The Gypsy King sent 94,000 fans into raptures with the punch, which saw his opponent topple backwards and fall to the canvas in April 2022.

Ringside footage released at the time showed just how quickly the uppercut was thrown – blink and you’ll miss it.

And it also showed the stunned look on Whyte’s face as the punch landed.

Fury then gave his off-balance foe a push which sent him to the canvas.

Remarkably, Whyte made it back to his feet within the referee’s count.

However, he was on unsteady legs and tripped as he tried to regain his balance.

Therefore the referee waved the fight off and Fury successfully defended his world title.

As Fury watched this unfold from across the ring, he himself was waving his arms, indicating for the referee to stop the contest as he knew Whyte would be unable to continue safely.

The Gypsy King was relieved when the fight was indeed called off.

His first reaction was not to celebrate.

Instead he walked over to Whyte, put his arm round him and planted a kiss on his head.

He then began to party and conducted a post-fight interview alongside Francis Ngannou, who he fought next.

Now, Fury is set to face Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight world titles on May 18.
