BREAKING: Whyte calls for rematch with Tyson Fury, says he cheated in Saturday’s bout

Dillian Whyte said that Tyson Fury pushed him after landing the uppercut and what caused the knock out was when he hit his head on the canvas.

He made the revelation while speaking with Sky Sports.

He said, “The uppercut landed; I was buzzed but as I was trying to gather my senses – he full on shoved me and I fell over and hit my head on the canvas which is illegal.

“This isn’t wrestling, this is boxing, but as usual, they let Fury do what he wants and get away with it.

“I should have been allowed extra time to recover and then carry on fighting. He pushed me and said to the referee, ‘Don’t let the fight carry on’.

“The referee is not doing his job; how can someone. OK, I got caught with a good shot and I was hurt but I didn’t go straight down. I was trying to get my senses and he fully two-handed pushed me and I fell over and hit my head. It was a terrible job from the referee.

“I should have had time to recover and have time to go back to my corner. Tyson Fury gets away with a lot of things; he said he wants to retire but I hope he doesn’t retire because I want another go.”
