TYSON FURY may have won Saturday night's heavyweight showdown against Dillian Whyte with a stinging right uppercut, but a brutal left hook also left The Body Snatcher wounded.
The Gypsy King revealed he spoke to Whyte in the ring after landing a bruising shot to his midriff.
Fury found success throughout the fight with his left hook, before finishing things off with a devastating right uppercut.
And Fury revealed he had trained his check hook pre-fight in order to keep Whyte at bay, and recalled one blow in particular that caught The Body Snatcher right in the sweet spot.
Fury said in his post-fight press conference on BT Sport: "We practised and practised and practised, long range punching, using the jab off the shoulder.
"And I think everyone will agree with me here tonight, the shot that kept catching him was the check hook, I kept clopping him with that check hook."

Fury then revealed he couldn't help but whisper in Whyte's ear after landing a particularly meaty left hook to his body.
He continued: "The one thing that amazed me was I clipped the Body Snatcher with a left hook to the body and I went 'You're hurt Body Snatcher aren't you?' and he went 'Yeah'.
Victory in front of 94,000 fans at Wembley was a 32nd win of Fury's career, and maintained his unbeaten record as a professional.
In the build up to the fight Fury had revealed his intention to retire after the showdown, which he reiterated in the ring following the KO.
