British heavyweight boxer, Tyson Fury has announced his retirement from boxing after a second loss to Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.
The ‘Gypsy King’ made his decision known in a video shared on social media on Monday.
“Hi everybody, I’m going to make this short and sweet. 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. See you all on the other side,” the 36-year-old said.
Fury lost to Usyk by unanimous decision in their rematch last December in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Before announcing his retirement, he had been linked with a mouthwatering bout against fellow Brit, Anthony Joshua in 2025.
Apparently the highly-anticipated match will no longer take place.
Fury first announced his retirement in 2013 after fighting fellow Brit, Steve Cunningham but was unable to secure a bout with David Haye.
However, he returned to the ring shortly after.
In April 2022, he announced his retirement again after overcoming Dillian Whyte in an all-British affair at Wembley Stadium.
