A new video of Tyson Fury's knockout against Dillian Whyte refutes the Body Snatcher’s claim that he hit his head on the ground after he fell.
The 33-year-old Whyte was eliminated in the sixth round against the heavyweight champion of the world.
Dillian Whyte's head didn't touch the canvas as he claimed
Since then, he has complained about Mark Lyson's refereeing. He claimed Fury pushed him down after the Gypsy King had landed a strong uppercut.
The punch ended the contest, but Whyte claimed he couldn't continue because his head hit against the canvas as he fell.
However, footage does not show that Whyte ever touched the ring floor. Fury therefore pushed the rope after landing the uppercut.
One social media user responded to the footage by writing: "Honestly, this is what I didn't expect from Dillian Whyte." He should have been more vocal in the past, because he makes excuses that make him look silly.

Another said, "It's almost like no one can bear the fact that they were knocked out of their homes by an egg-shaped fatman." Fury opponents make excuses for everything.
Another said, "One of my worst excuses from a fighter."
Whyte's complaints about the ending of the fight earlier in the week prompted fans to react.
Sky Sports reported that he said: "The uppercut hit, I was buzzed. But when I tried to regather myself, he proper, full-on pushed me like this.

"But, I should have been allowed more time to recover before continuing fighting.
"Then, he pushed me and said to the referee: 'Don’t let the fight continue'. It was like the referee isn't doing his job.
"OK, I was caught.

"He landed his at-range, clearly I was hurt, but I didn’t go straight to the ground, I was hurt and trying my best to get my thoughts together, and then he two-handed pushed me.
"It wasn’t like one-armed, but he two-handedly pushed me, and I fell over and hit the top of my head. It was a terrible job by the referee. It is what it is.
"I should have been allowed to rest or returned to my side.
"But I don't know, Tyson Fury gets away avec a lot of stuff."
