Tyson Fury, the former heavyweight world champion, has officially announced his retirement from boxing, bringing an end to a remarkable career.
The 36-year-old fighter, who last faced Oleksandr Usyk in December for a highly anticipated rematch, suffered defeat in the bout. This loss, where he contested the WBA (Super), WBC, and WBO titles, marks a defining moment as Fury steps away from the sport.
Fury’s retirement announcement comes after a previous decision to retire in April 2022, following his victory over Dillian Whyte. However, just six months later, he made a return to the ring, reaffirming his passion for the sport.
Throughout his career, Fury enjoyed two reigns as the heavyweight champion, accumulating an impressive record of 34 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw.
In a brief but heartfelt statement, Fury shared his decision with fans: “Hi everybody, I’m going to make this short and sweet. I’d like to announce my retirement from boxing. It has been a blast, I’ve loved every single minute of it and I’m going to end with this; Dick Turpin wore a mask.”
With this, one of boxing’s most iconic figures closes the chapter on an unforgettable career.
