Tyson Fury, a former World Heavyweight Champion, has decided to retire from boxing. The 36-year-old fighter’s last match was in December, where he faced defeat in a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk, who holds the WBA (Super), WBC, and WBO titles.
“Hi everybody, I’m going to make this short and sweet,” Fury said in a post on social media.
“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.”
Earlier in 2022, Fury had briefly announced his retirement after winning against Dillian Whyte, only to come back to the sport six months later. Throughout his career, Fury has achieved a record of 34 wins, two losses, and one draw.
One of his most memorable victories was against Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, where Fury claimed the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO, and The Ring heavyweight titles. Following a break from boxing to address mental health challenges, Tyson Fury returned in 2018 and went on to become a two-time champion by defeating Deontay Wilder for the WBC belt in 2020.
