[ BOXING FURY WON IN ROUND 6 ]: FURY vs WHYTE - THE FIGHT

[JollyGood]

Surely, since Usyk I believe is currently in Ukraine fighting for his country, surely the most logical thing to do now would be to put that fight on the back burner, since we don't know exactly when he'll return, and set up the Fury vs Joshua fight, assuming that Fury beats Whyte on the weekend.

Usyk left Ukraine to prepare for the rematch against Joshua. It is definitely going ahead, it will not be postponed.

I know Fury has said he's retiring, and for those that are taking that serious, it might just be a plan to try, and make the above happen, since we've all wanted that fight.

He probably will not retire until he unifies the belts and becomes undisputed heavyweight champion and defends the belts at least once.

Also, I probably won't be watching this fight, but I'm expecting Fury to win it without any issues. Probably finishes Whyte too given his age, and lack of stamina. Although, I could easily see it going to a decision win by Fury too, depends on the route he wants to take.

I will be watching the fight because I want to see if Fury still has the hunger to unify the belts. If Whyte loses badly then he will probably have to retire but he will have enough energy at least in the first few rounds to match Fury but overall he does not have many backing him because technically he is too inferior a boxer to Fury.

Oh really? I thought the only news sources reporting on this was the Mirror, and S*n which I'll be honest I just took it lightly. If that's true, that's an interesting chain of events.

He probably will not retire until he unifies the belts and becomes undisputed heavyweight champion and defends the belts at least once.

Not sure if he'll defend the belts. He's 33 years old, they generally fight once a year at most. So, by the time this process kicks into gear, whoever the winner of the Usyk vs Joshua will be looking for a fight in 2023/2024, while Fury would have been out of action for a while by then, so would likely need another fight in between then, and now.

Although, to be honest I'm not sure I need him to defend the belt. I just want to see that one fight, we've been waiting for years.

I will be watching the fight because I want to see if Fury still has the hunger to unify the belts. If Whyte loses badly then he will probably have to retire but he will have enough energy at least in the first few rounds to match Fury but overall he does not have many backing him because technically he is too inferior a boxer to Fury.

I remembered it was in Wembley, so the timing should suit me. I'll likely watch since I won't be doing anything else at that time. Thought it was going to clash with the UFC, as that's usually the case. Whyte has power, but Fury should be able to avoid that since he's definitely a lot slower than Wilder.

You never know what kind of decisions Tyson Fury is going to take, he once ended his career after becoming the champion after defeating Wladimir Klitschko who was dominating the boxing world for decades and Tyson Fury was an underdog coming into the fight and he dominated and became the champion and then he retired for good and when a person like that says he is retiring after the fight against Dillian Whyte i do not think that he is bluffing unless he feels he needs to prove something else.

Yeah, although that was because of mental health, and I think it was a good reason. I mean, the reason he fell into that slum was because he had been training for that moment for pretty much is whole life, and then he suddenly achieves it, there was no goal left for him at that point, and this happens quite frequently. I myself haven't achieved anything on scale with that, but I've had similar feelings where when you achieve something you've been building towards for a long time, once you've achieved it you lose the motivation for a short while after.

Tyson is a man that needs those constant goals. Now, that doesn't mean it'll always involve boxing, I do believe what happened to his daughter before the Wilder fight, might have changed some of his priorities, and he might just want to spend more time with his family as a result.

I'm not sure, I guess we'll find out if he's true to his word in a years time, once everything has settled. I wouldn't base any decisions or speculation on what he says after the Whyte fight.

If am Fury I will wait to fight Joshua after beating Dillian Whyte, then retire. He has seen it all and has made great impact in the world of boxing and should retire after these two fights. He should retire whether he loses to AJ or not, I have taken it that he will sweep past Whyte easily in tomorrow's bout.

The excitement for the fight is fever pitch. I expect Whyte to put in a good fight despite that am giving it to Fury. I watched an interview where Fury said Whyte was not Deotay Wilder, meaning he will not be expecting much of a fight that can shake him. Wilder for him was like holding a dynamite in the hand unlike a lesser effect he expects from Whyte. Any upset from the bout by Whyte will change alot of things and create new discussions in the boxing world. I wish that can happen.

This fight is happening not because of the normal way in staging fights where champions and superstars offer money to their challengers while demanding some fight details especially a rematch clause. But this one is different. There was no agreement reached until deadline which prompted the WBC to schedule the purse bid. Bidding for a single mandatory fight where both fighters purse are even fixed which defending champions usually take 60% to 75% depending on the sanctioning body (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO). These fixed purse splits can be advantageous when someone is fighting a superstar like in this case. Dillian Whyte was probably not satisfied by Fury's previous offers so he could easily wait until deadline of negotiations where purse bid becomes the final solution. These mandatory fights are also common reasons why some unified champions will just relinquished their belts. Lennox Lewis and Canelo for example dumped their IBF belts before.

At the press conference, White said he wanted to put on a spectacular fight with Fury, but I doubt that would be a good choice for him. When Fury provokes an opponent into an open fight, only Fury benefits from this, because he is not a convenient opponent in this state. Fury is talking about ending his career, no one wants to walk away defeated, but Fury is not an ordinary person, you cannot be completely sure that he is telling the truth.

I'm not so sure, maybe I'm reading into it too much, but Fury didn't look himself in the press conference. He was visibly annoyed at his father butting in, and making it about him. We've seen it in the past where Fury gets complacent, and ends up giving an opportunity to his opponent. Remember the cut he received over the eye? That could have easily been stopped, and its not because he was getting beaten, it was because he was complacent. Fury steps up when he needs to step up, otherwise he cruises. Could be a similar story with Whyte, the only thing with Whyte he is capable of knocking him out.

Although, obviously I'm still backing Fury he should find this easy, but it just depends on what Fury turns up on the night.

[JollyGood]

Yes he is definitely out of the country and preparing to face Joshua. The media were having a field day when they were unsure if Usyk would leave the army and travel to make the fight happen but there is no doubt about it.

Fury vs Usyk is still a massive possibility, maybe the most likely outcome too but just imagine what would happen if Whyte beats Fury and then Joshua beats Usyk. How many people would have imagined a unification fight between those two?

Their weigh-in was a funny event with Whyte and Fury giving a lot of respect to each other. A short video is here: https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/12595925/tyson-fury-wbc-heavyweight-title-holder-weighs-in-heavier-than-opponent-dillian-whyte-for-wembley-date

I don't know what has to happen in the Whyte-Fury fight for the Joshua-Whyte unification fight to get a lot of public attention. With all due respect to these boxers, they are far from being as bright as their opponents. The most insane fight will of course be Fury - Usyk. Something like that duel trial in Game of Thrones

23rd April 2022

Tomorrow is the day. The fight is finally going to take place at Wembley Stadium. Both Fury and Whyte will have to get past their mind games and put everything out there

What an uppercut by Fury, he knocked out Whyte with a ferocious shot in round 6.













In his victory speech he claimed it was probably his final fight. Is Fury really going to retire?

Great to see the update that Tyson Fury won the fight easily. The weakness of Dillian Whyte to the upper cut was exploited in this fight as well. Dillian Whyte lost to Alexander Povetkin and Anthony Joshua with the same upper cut and great to hear that Tyson Fury won the fight, unfortunately i was not able to watch the fight live as it was not available in my country which was a bummer.

[JollyGood]

With the exception of the first round which was close, Fury controlled the fight throughout but that one punch was a solid one that took out Whyte.

The bout ended too soon. I was hoping it would drag to at least Round 10 but that was not to be. Whyte could not endure that uppercut that floored him in Round 6. I have to admit that I got nervous when I noticed how often Fury was getting distracted by constantly pulling on his shorts. Whyte nearly got him in Round 3 because of that. My take is that boxing is looking like the most lucrative sport now for athletes. If we do the calculation of the whole bout that will be less than 20 minutes of action and Whyte goes home with close to $8 million. What a business.

[Saisher]

I only get to see the highlights of the fight because of the difference in my time at the event but that huge uppercut makes all the difference I thought Whyte can manage to continue because he manage to get us but he lose his equilibrium, Fury says after the Whyte he will retire we don't know if he is going to honor his words.

Whyte deserves the $8 million because he is a mandatory challenger I have seen boxers taking home millions in just a few minutes, it's better to see a short match full of action than a long one where boxers just stare and refuse to engage Fury is still great but he is going for retirement based on what I read on one article, is he really going for retirement after this fight

Am not saying Whyte does not deserve his pay, after all he will need medical treatment after the fight. Am saying getting paid that much as loser within a short time makes boxing lucrative. I bet you that even Whyte would know that he was no match for Fury who is the best out there now. About his retirement, am sure Usyk or AJ will tease him out of retirement if he eventually retires after this victory over Whyte. And I want that to happen because I want him to fight either AJ or Usyk.

Nobody will go into a fight thinking that he is no match, the first round was indicative of that and Whyte came to fight and tried to connect big punches and hopefully Tyson Fury will stick on to two more fights before retiring, the exciting one is always Oleksandr Usyk because of his boxing skills and even though a fight with Anthony Joshua cannot be hyped like they would have if they fought earlier i would like to have that win record to Tyson Fury so that there is no challenger left unturned .

The thing is he doesn't want to fight long enough to realize that he doesn't have it anymore, for boxers the last to give in is the body, the mind still wants it but the body is not reacting to what the mind is saying, if he kept his promise to retire this is actually his second retirement and may well be for good, he just wants to enjoy life and based on his words  

“So, when I walk away from boxing, I’ll be the biggest fan in the world and I’ll turn up to all the big events, but just to be a fan. I won’t be a part of it.”

Fury has his own rules he has his own style and that's what makes him great and special, so it's better for him to retire I support him he has established his legacy already and this generation will be proud to have seen Fury's great era.

Super happy for Fury. That uppercut was right on the button, right on the spot where you just can't walk after being hit. If ever you're looking for a KO punch, that's the place to land it, perfect. I thought he just glanced him on the side of his face but when I watched it again that was the big one, all his weight behind it too. It's a wonder how Dillian got up. Dillian always gets caught with uppercuts and Tyson set that one up perfectly, then pushed him over like a tree stump. He knew that was it, you can feel it when you connect like that he knew it was over. Totally one sided but a good effort from Whyte against a much larger and more skilful opponent.
