Tyson Fury, the renowned British boxer, has officially announced his retirement from the sport of boxing. The announcement came after his recent defeat to Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk in their highly anticipated rematch on December 21, 2024, in Saudi Arabia.
In a heartfelt video shared on his Instagram, Fury expressed his decision with a brief yet poignant message: “Hi everybody, I’m going to make this short and sweet. I would like to announce my retirement from boxing. It’s been a blast. I have loved every single minute of it, and I am going to end with this. Dick Turpin wore a mask. See you all on the other side.”
Fury’s loss to Usyk in a unanimous decision marks a defining moment in his career. This marks his second loss to Usyk after their first clash, and it follows an earlier retirement announcement in 2013 after his victory over Steve Cunningham. However, like before, Fury is stepping away from the sport, leaving behind a legacy of thrilling bouts and a storied career.
