WBC champion Tyson Fury delivered a conclusive upper-cut in the sixth round to defeat fellow Briton Dillian Whyte in Saturday’s match.
After concluding Saturday’s (24 April) match with a coup de grâce in the form of an uppercut, Fury subsequently announced he will retire from boxing.
“This might be the final curtain for the Gypsy King,” Fury said post-fight.
He added later: “I’ve spent a lot of time on the road. I’ve been away for a long time. I fulfilled everything I’ve ever wanted to fulfil.
“I will retire as only the second heavyweight in history, after Rocky Marciano, to retire undefeated. I was unbeatable at this game.”
“I promised my wife that would be it after the [Deontay] Wilder fight,” he continued. “But I got offered a fight at Wembley and I owed it to the fans. What a way to go out.”
Taking to social media to celebrate his triumph, Fury thanked his family and team:
I Came I Saw I Conquered 👑🥊
Thank you Wembley, We Made History!
God Bless You All, My Family and My Team. All Glory Be To My Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ #GypsyKing pic.twitter.com/SYsX17A9vA

Fury’s wife Paris told BT Sport: “I would like him to come out now. He has nothing more to prove. If he had anything left to do, I would say ‘Yeah Tyson, you do it’. But he has nothing to prove.
“For Tyson to keep boxing, it just seems for one reason and I know in my heart, I think the only reason that Tyson will come back is for the unification fight.”
The match took place in front of a sold out crowd of 94,000 at Wembley Stadium.
