Whyte claims ankle injury in Fury defeat

First he claimed he was discombobulated because he hit the back of his mind on the canvas after being shoved down. However, he forgot to actually watch the video before proceeding with this lie because at no point did the back of his mind actually hit the canvas. Is he now claiming he wasn't discombobulated at all and the only reason he stumbled and was unsteady on his legs when he hauled himself back off the canvas was because he sustained and ankle injury after being shoved over?

The mistake he's making here is he thinks we're all stupid and that we've never seen how a discombobulated fighter reacts before after they've been badly hurt even though we've done so countless times.

 

Whyte was sent crashing to the deck, but the Londoner believes the referee should have penalised Fury for shoving him before his head thumped against the canvas.

“I was buzzed but obviously I was trying to regather my senses and he proper pushed me and I fell over and hit my head on the canvas, which is illegal,” Whyte told Sky Sports.

“This isn’t wrestling, this is boxing. I should have been allowed extra time to recover and then carried on fighting.





“I got caught, no doubt about it. I got caught by a good shot.

“I was hurt, I was trying to get my senses together and he full on, two-handed pushed me. It wasn’t like a one-armed thing.

“I should have had time to recover, time to go back to my corner, but Tyson Fury gets away with a lot of things.”

Whyte claimed Fury headbutted him after he sustained a nasty gash over his right eye, the first time he has sustained a cut in 31 professional fights.

He said: “He kept on leaning down to the side and putting the head in and stuff like that.

“He leans down and he put the head in, he clashed with me and I got the cut and obviously the ref started telling me off.

“I was like, ‘what the hell is going on here? I got headbutted?’

“The fight spiralled a bit, until he started punching me in the back of the head. I started doing it to him and then his corner started throwing water and stuff like that, which was a bit crazy.

“I kept on getting all the blame. He was the one that was holding, he was the one that was headbutting and being dirty in the fight.”
