‘The Push Did More Damage’: Tyson Fury’s Coach Rubs Salt in Dillian Whyte’s Wounds

Last Saturday, in front of an attendance of ninety-four thousand people, Tyson Fury won the 32nd fight of his long-built career. He won via a 6th-round TKO over former sparring partner and fellow heavyweight Dillian Whyte. The fight not only saw the last fight (probably) of Tyson Fury’s career, but it also marked the introduction of the largest purses ever paid in British boxing.

As the two neared the end of the sixth round, Fury set things up with a jab to Whyte’s face. Just when Whyte slightly took his guards off to wipe Fury’s left hand, The Gypsy King attacked the former’s windshield with a hammer of an uppercut straight from hell. And this was it. But Fury did not stop; he followed the damage up with a firm push to his opponent’s shoulder and finally saw the latter hit the ground to a sleep.

Recently, ‘Boxing Social’ caught up with Tyson Fury’s trainer Sugar Hill Steward. At the encounter, they informed Hill about Dillian Whyte‘s claim that accused the uppercut of doing less damage compared to the push that Fury had followed.

“Of course, the push did more damage; I’m a boxing expert. That push did more damage than the well-connected right uppercut by Tyson Fury,” told a confident Hill.

A throwback to Tyson Fury knocking his opponents out

While fighting, Fury likes to use his size and strength to the fullest. He likes to mix things up with a jab, a round punch, and a firm push to his opponent’s exhausted physique. To argue the case, here is a look at some of Fury’s highlight-reel knockouts.

April 20, 2013, Tyson Fury vs. Steve Cunningham at Madison Square Garden, New York. Cunningham dropped Fury with a strong overhand, but The Gypsy King got back up. Not only that, but Fury pushed Cunningham to a corner and hit the latter with a right hook straight to the chin. Fury won that match via KO at 2:55 of round number seven.

Just a year later, Fury fought Joey Abell, this time at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. During the bout, Fury dropped Abell multiple times until he finished him at 1:36 of round four with a vicious head-body combo to win the fight.

Fast forward to February 28, 2015, Fury went up against Christian Hammer. Taking advantage of his height, The Gypsy King first worked a shoeshine to Hammer’s body. Then he finished Hammer for good with a double jab followed by a strong right hand, beating the absolute sweat out of the latter to an eighth-round defeat.
