Following his knockout defeat at the hands of Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte has called for a rematch, branding The Gypsy King's victory illegal.Fury appeared to shove Whyte over after connecting with a vicious uppercut in the sixth round of their WBC heavyweight championship bout on Saturday evening.The Body Snatcher did manage to beat the count, but after stumbling whilst making his way back to the corner, the fight was called off and Furyâs hand was raised.Whyte reacted angrily on Sky Sports, saying: âThe 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.âThis isnât wrestling, this is boxing, but as usual, they let Fury do what he wants and get away with it.âI should have been allowed extra time to recover and then carry on fighting. He pushed me and said to the referee, âDonât to let the fight carry onâ.LONDON, ENGLAND - APRIL 23: Dillian Whyte is checked by a doctor after the WBC World Heavyweight Title Fight between Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium on April 23, 2022 in London, England.

OK, I got caught with a good shot and I was hurt but I didnât go straight down.âThe bout was the biggest in Whyteâs career, as he was taking on whom many consider to be the best fighter in the world in front of a record-breaking 94,000 people at Wembley Stadium.Following his victory, Fury vowed that he would step away from the boxing ring and into retirement.Whyte is hoping that isnât the case, however, as having fallen to what he believes to be a controversial loss, the 34-year-old has demanded that he be given a second shot.
âI was trying to get my senses and he fully two-handed pushed me and I fell and hit my head.
âIt was a terrible job from the referee. I should have had time to recover and have time to get back to my corner.
âTyson Fury gets away with a lot of things; he said he wants to retire but I hope he doesnât because I want another go.â
