Boxing superstar Tyson Fury has announced his retirement from the sport, citing back-to-back defeats at the hands of Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk. The 36-year-old British boxer made the shocking decision public in a video posted on Instagram.
“I’m going to make this short and sweet,” Fury began. “I’d like to announce my retirement from boxing. It’s been a blast, I’ve loved every single minute of it, and I’m going to end with this: Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everybody, see you on the other side.”
Fury’s decision comes after he suffered two consecutive losses to Usyk, including a unanimous decision in their rematch last month.
The Gypsy King, as Fury is affectionately known, finished his illustrious career with an impressive record of 34-2-1, featuring 24 knockout victories. The draw came against Deontay Wilder in 2018, and the two losses were to Usyk.
Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, expressed support for the boxer’s decision, stating that he has “done everything he can do” in the sport. Warren added that Fury has “plenty of money,” is “smart enough” and has a “lovely family.”
The news will come as a disappointment to fans who had been eagerly anticipating a potential showdown between Fury and fellow British boxer Anthony Joshua. However, it appears that fight will not be happening anytime soon.
Fury’s retirement marks the end of an era for the sport, as he is widely regarded as one of Britain’s best heavyweight fighters in his generation.
It remains to be seen whether Fury will stay involved with the sport in some capacity or focus on other ventures outside of boxing.
