For his last fight \u2014 or so he says \u2014 he gave a clinic.<\/p>\n<p>After a gripping trilogy with Deontay Wilder in the United States, Whyte was a big step-down for Fury, who mostly toyed with his compatriot after sizing him up in a cagey opening couple of rounds.<\/p>\n<p>Fury was in control of the fight without truly exerting himself until the fifth round, which he dominated. A body shot and then a straight right rocked Whyte back, getting the crowd going.<\/p>\n<p>By what proved to be the final round, Whyte was starting to breathe heavier and had a cut around his right eye \u2014 potentially from a clash of heads.<\/p>\n<p>Whyte \u2014 the long-time mandatory challenger \u2014 was mostly reckless with some big but wayward shots. He tried to play rough and get in the head of Fury, while hoping to land the one big punch to turn him into a superstar overnight.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/AFP_328U4CC.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"664\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/AFP_328U4CC.jpg\" alt=\"Tyson Fury celebrates\" class=\"wp-image-22014960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/AFP_328U4CC.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/AFP_328U4CC.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/AFP_328U4CC.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/AFP_328U4CC.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=512 512w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Tyson Fury celebrates after retaining his WBC heavyweight world title. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the end, it came from the right hand of Fury, which sent Whyte collapsing to the canvas.<\/p>\n<p>Whyte eventually got to his feet and tried to show he was ready to continue but then staggered toward the ropes, leading the referee to end the fight.<\/p>\n<p>Fury called it a \u201cWembley Stadium show-stopper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is as strong as a bull and has the heart of a lion,\u201d Fury said of Whyte, \u201cbut tonight he met a great in the sport, one of the greatest heavyweights of all time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think,\u201d Fury added, \u201ceven Lennox Lewis would be proud of that uppercut.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If he does retire, Fury will go down as the greatest British heavyweight, surpassing Lewis.<\/p>\n<p>What might yet make him continue is the chance to be the undisputed champion from what could be a hugely lucrative bout against Oleksandr Usyk or Anthony Joshua.<\/p>\n<p>Usyk beat Joshua last September to take the WBA, IBF and WBO belts and is preparing for a rematch with Joshua after leaving his native Ukraine, where he was helping his country in the war with Russia.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all Fury would have left to claim among the current crop of heavyweights in an average era for the sport\u2019s marquee division, which would be a quieter place without the 6-foot-9 Brit whose mouth and opinions have gotten him in trouble down the years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never experienced anything like that before \u2014 I messed up my ring walk!\u201d said Fury, who came out in a red-and-white gown, blowing kisses to the crowd before fireworks illuminated Wembley.<\/p>\n<p>He jogged to the ring and sat on a throne.
