British heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury has retired from the sport at the age of 36, according to a video posted on his Instagram account. This comes despite recent speculation about potential fights for Fury later this year.
British heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury announced his retirement from the sport at the age of 36. The former world champion took to social media to share the news, posting a video on his Instagram account where he stated, 'I would 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.
' This announcement comes amid speculation surrounding potential fights for Fury later this year, following his rematch defeat to reigning heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk in December. Just two days ago, Sky Sports News reported that Wembley had been reserved for Fury to fight Anthony Joshua in the summer. \Fury's promoter, Frank Warren, expressed his support for the boxer's decision, stating: 'Good luck to him, God bless him. I'm thrilled for him. I've been saying since his last fight whatever he chooses to do I support him 100%. I hope he and his family enjoy the fruits of his labour ... he's the best and I hope people acknowledge that now.' \Rival boxing promoter Eddie Hearn acknowledged Fury's decision, saying: 'I think if you haven't got the heart for it anymore and don't want to compete anymore then retirement is the best option. Disappointing obviously for British fight fans... but if that's the last we see of him, he's had a great career... I doubt it. But it's always best to come into retirement to make sure someone pays you to come out of retirement.'
