Tyson Fury has announced he is retiring from boxing in the aftermath of a second defeat in his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk last month.

The former world heavyweight boxing champion posted a video on social media while sat in a car announcing that he would quit the sport three weeks after failing to claim the unified world titles from the Ukrainian in Riyadh by unanimous decision.

“Hi everybody. I’m going to keep this short and sweet,” Fury said in the video. “I would like to announce my retirement from boxing. It’s been a blast, I’ve loved every single minute. and I’m going to end with this. Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everybody, see you on the other side.”

Fury had previously announced his retirement from the ring back in 2022 after beating Dillian Whyte, only to return at the end of the year to fight Derek Chisora and going on to set up the unification bouts with Usyk. He also had short-lived retirements in 2013 and 2017 which were similarly announced on social media.

The 36-year-old’s announcement has come at at time when pundits had been speculating over whether Fury could be tempted into a blockbuster fight against fellow British heavyweight Anthony Joshua.
