The British boxer Tyson Fury knocked down his compatriot Dillian Whyte in the sixth round of the title match at London's Wembley Stadium to defend his WBC heavyweight championship belt. The 33-year-old winner recorded his 32nd victory in the professional ring, leaving undefeated.
Before the match, Fury announced that the fight with Whyte would be his last. "I promised my wonderful wife Paris that it would be over after this fight. I meant it," Fury said.
However, Paris has indicated that this may not have been Fury's last match. "I do want him to quit. He doesn't have to prove anything to anybody anymore. Just if there's a unification match. That's the only reason he would return to the ring," she said.
Fury earned about $ 32 million from this match. He was born in Manchester, England to a family of Irish Travelers.
His father named him Tyson after world boxing champion Mike Tyson. Fury is proud of his background.
"I'm proud of who I am," he says of his origins. "I'm glad... My Traveler origins give me the determination and the will to win, to reach the bottom. There's no defeat in me. As a Traveler, I never regret anything. I know what to do and how to move on," he has previously said.
