Tyson Fury, the 36-year-old British heavyweight boxer, has announced his retirement from the sport. The two-time world champion has a career marked by significant achievements, including defeating Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder. His retirement comes after back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk.
Tyson Fury , the 36-year-old British boxer, has announced his retirement from boxing, stating, '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.' Fury's career has been marked by two stints as heavyweight champion. He shocked the world by defeating long-reigning champion Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 to claim multiple heavyweight titles.
After a hiatus to address mental health issues, Fury returned to boxing in 2018 and became a two-time champion by beating Deontay Wilder in 2020. Fury's promoter, Frank Warren, expressed his support, saying, 'He's done everything he can do. Probably been the best British heavyweight of his generation by far. Two-time world champion, two closely fought fights against Usyk. He's got plenty of money, got his wits about him, got a lovely family. God bless him, enjoy.' Fury's record stands at 34 wins, two defeats, and one draw. His undefeated streak ended with back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk, denying fans the eagerly anticipated clash with fellow Brit Anthony Joshua. Fury's retirement announcement has sparked speculation, with many believing he will be enticed back into the ring, particularly for a lucrative fight against Joshua. His retirement may be a strategic move to build hype for a future showdown, capitalizing on the public's desire for the fight and its financial potential. If this is indeed the end of Fury's boxing career, he will be remembered as one of Britain's greatest modern-era heavyweights, having faced and fought against some of the best in the sport
