Tyson Fury, the heavyweight boxing champion known for his thrilling fights and colorful personality, has announced his retirement from the sport.
This announcement comes just weeks after he lost his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk in a bid to become the undisputed heavyweight champion.
In a short video posted on social media, Tyson Fury stated, “I’m going to keep this brief. I’m officially retiring from boxing. It’s been a fantastic journey, and I’ve cherished every moment. I’m going out on my own terms.”
This isn’t the first time Tyson Fury has declared his retirement. He previously announced his departure from the ring in 2022 after defeating Dillian Whyte, only to return later that year to face Derek Chisora.
Tyson Fury also retired briefly in 2013 and 2017, both times making the announcement online.

“I’m truly happy for him. He’s achieved incredible things in boxing, both for himself and for Britain. His fights have been incredibly exciting, and he’s always put on a show. I’m delighted for him and hope he and his family enjoy the rewards of his hard work.”
