Boxer Tyson Furydefended his heavyweight title on Saturday with a "sixth-round knockout" of Dillian Whytein front of 94,000 fans at Wembley Stadium, making it the “biggest European fight in terms of the attendance." After the fight, Fury said, “What a way to go out. This might be the final curtain for the Gypsy King.” Wembley was “rocking all over” when Fury emerged. It “topped the Wembley crowds” that watched boxer Anthony Joshua beat Wladimir Klitschko in '17 (LONDON TIMES, 4/24). The scene yesterday “was crazy” with the “second-largest attendance in boxing history" behind only the ‘93 Julio Cesar Chavez- Greg Haugen fight at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City that drew 132,274 fans. The fans “came to see Fury do his thing,” in his first defense as champion on home soil and he “gave them the show they wanted to see” (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 4/23).
