Why did Tyson Fury reference Dick Turpin when he made his retirement announcement?
Tyson Fury is a master of the unexpected. Few outside of his team expected him to beat Wladimir Klitschko when he challenged the great Ukrainian for the unified WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles in 2015. He defied those doubts. Fury wasn't expected to step away from the sport for two and a half years after that.
Top Rank's Jacobs said: 'I think he really enjoyed being heavyweight champion, and he's not any longer. 'Maybe he doesn't see a path to become heavyweight champion again. Look, boxing's a punishing business. It's very tough, the toughest sport there is and you can never put yourself in the shoes of a boxer and try to determine how they feel or what they're thinking. 'This man has been at it for a long time, I get it. So if that's it for him, God bless him.
