A right uppercut from Fury sent Whyte to the canvas and the champion raised his right hand in celebration.

Whyte got to his feet and tried to show he was ready to continue but then staggered, leading the referee to end the fight.

Fury toyed with Whyte for much of a cagey fight, with Whyte — the long-time mandatory challenger — mostly reckless with some big, wayward shots.

The victory was a 32nd win for the undefeated Fury, who defended his WBC belt for the second time and has talked of retiring at the age of 33.

The winner of the fight is expected to face Nigerian-Briton Anthony Joshua in few months time albeit there has been talk of Joshua possibly taking a pay-off of £15m in order for the winner of last night’s fight to fight Ukraine’s Alesakdre Usyk in a unification title bout.

Anthony Joshua has vehemently denied ever verbally accepting to take the pay off.
