Tyson Fury reveals what he said to Dillian Whyte moments before knock out

Tyson Fury has revealed what he said to Dillian Whyte in the ring just moments before he knocked his opponent out with a huge uppercut. Fury put in another memorable performance as he displayed his speed, strength in a stunning all-round display from Fury, who kept Dillian Whyte in his range as he worked his jab, before flooring his opponent with a swift and stunning knockout in the sixth round.

Whyte started out the fight in surprising fashion whilst being in the southpaw stance, making it awkward for Fury, however the Gypsy King would quickly work out Whyte's game plan and landed his first decisive shot in the first round.

He would land another big right hand which seemingly stunned Whyte in the second, as his confidence grew in the fight. And by the third round, Fury was already talking to Whyte in the ring. The Body Snatcher soon would become frustrated with Fury's defence, and started swinging wildly, with the Gypsy King making him miss.

Just moments before the sixth-round uppercut which ended the fight, Fury was seen talking to Whyte in the round. He landed a nice body shot on him, and revealed what he said.

Fury said: "I kept clipping him with that check hook and then the one thing that amazed was, I clipped him with a left hook. And I said to him, 'Are you hurt Body Snatcher?', and he said 'yeah!' - that was funny."

In the same press conference, Fury confirmed his intentions to retire.

He said: "I am gonna go home with my wife and kids and become the second heavyweight after Rocky Marciano to retire undefeated - the two time ring magazine champion of the world. I was unbeatable at this game.

"I will not rule out exhibitions - I want to have fun and entertain. Big Francis Ngannou was here today - he's on my hitlist. Boxing ring, octagon, boxing gloves or UFC gloves - let's make it happen."
