Throughout the fight, Fury hardly threw an uppercut. However, in the sixth round of the scheduled 12-round fight, 'The Gypsy King' threw a textbook uppercut that knocked Whyte out cold. 'The Body Snatcher' beat the count and got to his feet, however, he could not steady himself and tumbled around the ring. The referee saw enough and called a stop to the contest.
Eddie Hearn predicted Dillian Whyte would knock Tyson Fury out
Throughout the build-up to the fight, the Matchroom Boxing Chairman predicted that 'The Body Snatcher' would knock Fury out. In an interview with iFL TV, the DAZN spokesperson spoke about the fight between Fury and Whyte. He discussed how he thought 'The Body Snatcher' would knock 'The Gypsy King' out:
"I think it's a very tough fight. On paper right now, Tyson Fury is the best heavyweight in the world, but Dillian Whtye can beat anybody on his day. You know sometimes when you look at a fight and you say how can they win? He can knock Tyson Fury out. Dillian Whyte has the power, the one-punch power and he's a fantastic body puncher as well to knock someone out."

Eddie Hearn asked if he'll be attending Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte: "I don't think I'm allowed, but I was thinking about going in the corner and carrying the bucket. I would do that. I would put on a Dillian Whyte t-shirt and carry the bucket in the corner." [@Boxing_Social]
