Tyson Fury has announced his retirement from boxing for the umpteen time, some weeks after losing his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia, MySportDab Reports.
In an announcement made via his social media handles on Monday, the 36-year-old British heavyweight said, “I’d like to announce my retirement from boxing-it has been a blast, I’ve loved every single minute of it.”

Fury, the two-time heavyweight champion of the world, is retiring with 34 wins, two defeats, and one draw. However, considering his history of multiple retirements-the most recent one in April 2022-few would bet that this is indeed the end of the road for the “Gypsy King.”
Promoter Frank Warren saluted Fury’s impact on the sport, describing him as a “world star,” adding that the man brought something very special to any contest in which he participated.
Fury’s announcement does bring into jeopardy his long-waited bout with another British man in Anthony Joshua.
This comes after recently stating his intentions with Joshua in 2024. Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has again questioned whether the retirement will be permanent.
Born in 1988 in Manchester, Fury fought his way from early struggles, having been born three months premature and weighing just one pound at birth.
Nicknamed after the great Mike Tyson, Fury went pro in 2008, claiming several titles, including the British, Commonwealth, and European belts.
