Tyson Fury has announced his retirement, leaving behind three planned fights, including a highly anticipated match against Anthony Joshua.
London: Tyson Fury has decided to hang up his gloves, and it’s a bit of a shocker. He had three fights lined up, including one with Anthony Joshua, but now that’s not happening.
Fury, 36, made the announcement on Monday after losing to Oleksandr Usyk twice in Saudi Arabia. It’s not the first time he’s said he’s done with boxing, but this time it seems serious.
He had previously claimed he was in his prime and ready for big fights. Just a few months ago, he was talking about facing Usyk and Joshua, and even mentioned a rematch with Francis Ngannou.
But after those losses to Usyk, it looks like Fury is really stepping away. Fans were hoping for that Joshua fight, which has been talked about for ages, but it seems like it’s not meant to be.
Fury shared the news in a casual video from his car, saying he loved every moment of his boxing career. He ended with a quirky line about Dick Turpin wearing a mask, which left fans scratching their heads a bit.
He leaves the sport with an impressive record of 34 wins, 24 by knockout, and just two losses, both to Usyk. It’s a big change for boxing fans who were looking forward to more from the Gypsy King.
