A few days ago, former two-division world champion David Haye had openly backed Dillian Whyte to defeat Tyson Fury on Saturday night, before a crowd of 94,000 at Wembley Stadium in London.

Whyte looked every bit of the 6-1 underdog he was pegged at, as he barely hit Fury in the contest.

Fury, the WBC's heavyweight champion, controlled the bout and closed the show in the sixth, when he landed a big uppercut that put Whyte down hard. Whyte struggled to get to his feet and then stumbled into the ropes as the referee waved off the fight.

Whyte had argued for years that he was being blocked from receiving a WBC title shot.

He finally got his crack at the belt and seemed to be confused on how to land on the much taller Fury. He missed some very wild swings to Fury's head, with most of his success coming from a handful of body shots.

After the fight was over, Haye felt Whyte was lacking "intensity" and he also doubts Fury will walk away from the sport at this point.

"The first round there wasn't much in it for me. I didn't feel the intensity from Whyte. [Fury] doesn't look like [he's had enough of boxing]. He needs another fight. He'd love to put his name up there in the history books. On paper he'd be massive favorite [to beat Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk]. It's the last big fight left," Haye explained.

"Maybe it was Whyte boxing slowly, maybe it was Fury boxing fast. He was sleek and Dillian's energy seemed to dissipate really fast, he was gasping for breath. That gives Fury the time to relax. He's got a lot in the tank. But he'll be back, he'll come again."
