The attendance broke records even set by music legend Sheeran, who was recently pictured hanging out with the Gypsy King.

Fury told Queensberry Promotions: “I think it was an absolutely fantastic event and a great night of boxing, it could not have gone any better.

“It went absolutely fantastically, we had the record breaking crowd there, in history for any event and Ed Sheeran was really p***ed off about that recently.

“And then we had a a brilliant knockout to cap it all off, what a send-off.”

Fury, 33, announced his retirement after landing a vicious right uppercut on Whyte, 34, in round six.

But he remains linked with a comeback to challenge for the undisputed heavyweight crown.

Anthony Joshua, 32, is set to rematch Oleksandr Usyk, 35, on August 20 in Saudi Arabia, with Fury primed to fight the winner.

But the heavyweight hero threatens risks ruining the perfect farewell fight if he returns following victory after Whyte.

Fury said: “It was definitely a dream come true, to box at home at Wembley, against another British opponent and defending the Ring Magazine and WBC heavyweight championships, on an epic April night with a 94,000 crowd there.

“And to get an epic, one-punch KO over a guy who a lot of people thought would give me problems, it was an absolutely fantastic night and could not have gone any better.

“It had one of the best ring-walks in history, the biggest crowd and a great KPO and defence.

“It had everything that a heavyweight world title fight should have, it was an epic moment and epic night and if we had tried to draw it up beforehand we could not have dreamed that up.

“We had great viewing figures, great ticket sales, the Fury Fest show before the fight, the afterparties, it was fantastic.”
