By knocking out the courageous Dillian Whyte in the sixth round.

Surely Whyte will be back stronger.

Former heavyweight champion and legend of the ring Lennox Lewis knows a thing or two about big fights its safe to say.

He said the following of the Fury victory at the weekend:

Chaos In Till vs Fury

Another great performance by @tysonfury last night to show why he’s the number one HW in the division right now.

But let’s talk about the economics. He filled Wembley with 94 thousand fans (the biggest gate in Wembley history) to prove he has drawing power among UK fan base.

So to think, that there’s even BIGGER fights than this still out there is 🤯. I know he’s talked retirement after last night, but I feel there’s still some unfinished business to be done on his part and I look forward to welcoming him into the undisputed club as a fellow Brit….

….and as an honour to the lineage of #kronkboxing, when all is said and done. To see him get up off the canvas of life and turn himself into the best HW in the world is a thing of beauty. I’ve personally learned to never bet against him and am proud of his accomplishments…

…and commitment to himself and his craft.

When Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder had a chance to make history, it didn’t happen. Fury is one fight away, and either, AJ or Uusyk, are 2-3 fights away from UNDISPUTED. Which is the fight I’ve been calling for for many years….

…I’m hoping everyone takes care of business and the winner of Joshua-Uusyk steps into the ring with Fury to crown the first undisputed champion since me. I’ve been keeping UNDISPUTED warm for way too many years.

In the meantime, it’s now time for @Tyson_Fury to celebrate his win with his family and friends and wait to see what happens in this crazy HW division.

Congrats champ on a job well done. Relax, rest, and enjoy. All of it is well deserved. Bless! 🙏🏾 LL
