DILLIAN WHYTE's three professional losses have all come courtesy of the same punch – a vicious uppercut.
Whyte's dream of becoming a world champion was shattered on Saturday night by a hellacious right uppercut from Tyson Fury in the sixth round of their domestic dust-up at Wembley.
The Brixton Body Snatcher somehow managed to beat the count but referee Mark Lyson wisely called a halt to proceedings after seeing him wobble on his feet.
Fury perfectly timed the uppercut, which Whyte has been susceptible to throughout his career.
Whyte's tendency to dip his head into uppercut range cost him dearly in his first fight with former world title challenger Alexander Povetkin in August 2020.
The Russian timed Whyte's head movement in the fifth round and cracked him with a lethal left uppercut that separated him from consciousness before he even hit the canvas.

The uppercut also proved to be Whyte's undoing in his grudge match with Anthony Joshua in December 2015.
But unlike against Fury and Povetkin, he was badly dazed when was put out by the shot.
After rocking Whyte with a big right hand in the seventh round, AJ unloaded a barrage of vicious shots to try and close the show.
Whyte weathered most of the storm but ended up being drilled with a big uppercut through the guard that sent him crashing into the canvas.

Try as he might, Whyte couldn't get back to his feet and had to look through glazed eyes on the canvas as AJ celebrated victory in their heated domestic dust-up.
Whyte, 33, has yet to address his loss to Fury under the bright lights at Wembley.
The former kickboxer and MMA fighter had to be given oxygen after being flattened by the Gypsy King, who is contemplating retirement.
In his post-fight interview, Fury said: "You know, I promised my lovely wife that after the Wilder 3 fight, that would be it and I meant it.
