Fury won every round on my card, despite Whyte trying to overcome his obvious physical disadvantages and simply was unable to overcome the versatile Fury, who boxed more against Whyte than he did in his two victories over Deontay Wilder.
Whyte did find a bit of success when he was able to push Fury into the ropes but as long as Fury was able to keep the fight into the middle of the ring, Whyte was generally ineffective against the larger champion.
While the knockout was spectacular, the fight wasn't all that thrilling but it's heavyweight boxing so if you receive an explosive ending, it's been a pretty good fight.
Fury once again talked about retirement after the fight, claiming no interest in the Oleksandr Usyk-Anthony Joshua victor but discussing a hybrid exhibition against Francis Ngannou, the heavyweight champion of the UFC, and a potential appearance with the WWE as soon as the summer.
I find it hard to believe that Fury will pass on the dollars against the Usyk-Joshua winner. particularly if it would be against Joshua, but he could decide to take time and avoid any sanctioning body obligations although, with Whyte as his mandatory challenger, that shouldn't be an issue for a while.
As for Dillian Whyte, he'll return to making interesting fights against other top ten-fifteen fighters and should be paid good money to do so.
Whyte has always been an exciting fighter when fighting opponents of his level and especially his size and with a style that isn't afraid to engage, has the power to knock out opponents, and a chin that that can be dented with one punch, so there will be plenty of fights available for Whyte in the future even if not at the championship level...
