Fury show, he is the WBC heavyweight king at Wembley! And now retirement

A right upright to the chin and Wembley Stadium, crowded with crowds and dotted with lights, explodes with joy. One blow to WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury was enough to defend the title against challenger Dillian White. An all-English boxing challenge, a great show and a great business in front of almost 100,000 spectators, which confirmed that England is the mecca of boxing, together with the United States. He also confirmed the class of the “Gypsy King”, the gypsy king, a giant of 2.06 for a weight of 126 kilos (like Primo Carnera’s), unbeaten after 33 matches: 32 victories and an equal in the first challenge of the trilogy with Deontay Wilder, then amply compensated by two successes.

The match

–

Whyte, one year older (34 to 33) and 13 centimeters shorter (1.93), couldn’t do anything in this English derby. The minor extension forced him to suffer the left jab doubled by the champion. His attempts to shorten the distance never had any effect. Fury won every round, except perhaps the first draw, before closing with that spectacular shot. First studio shot. Fury on normal guard, White on right guard. Virtually nothing happens. In the second White returns to normal guard and on two occasions manages to shorten the distance by bringing Fury to the ropes, but he dodges and puts the best shots. In the third round of Fury again the best shots, especially the direct often doubled, facilitated by the greater extension. In the fourth, a head and a provocative outfit by White force the referee to intervene and divide the boxers with difficulty. They make the champion nervous, but he continues to control the match. The fifth round is the clearest in favor of Fury. An uppercut to the body and the usual combination of two direct neutralize any ambitions of the rival.

The decisive blow

It is the dress rehearsal of the epilogue. At 2’59 ”of the sixth round in the middle of the ring, Fury’s uppercut passes under White’s arms, reaches him on the chin, finishes the race sliding up to his left ear and throws him to the ground. The referee starts the count. The challenger manages to stagger to his feet and seems to be able to resume. But his legs can’t hold him, his head is clouded and he literally collapses in the arms of Mike Layson, who can not help but decree the end of the fight.

The song

–

Fury, the Gypsy king, is still champion. He thanks God, says he is proud of England and sings perfectly in tune “Miss American Pie”, an iconic piece by Don Mc Lean, dedicated to his wife. A curtain that confirms him as an authentic show man, as well as a great boxing champion and, who knows for how long, king of the world. If not, he will be retired, as announced on the eve and reiterated after the match.
