Former heavyweight world champion, Tyson Fury
Former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury announced his retirement from boxing on January 13, 2025, to focus on other aspects of his life.
In a video posted on social media, the English boxer announced his decision with excitement.
“I’m going to make this short and sweet. I’d like to announce my retirement from boxing. It’s been a blast; I’ve loved every single minute of it. I’ll end with this: Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everybody; see you on the other side,” he said.
Notably, this is not Fury’s first retirement announcement, having previously done so in 2013 and 2017 via social media posts.
Additionally, he announced his retirement in April 2022 after defeating Dillian Whyte but returned to action in December of the same year.
These past instances have led some individuals to question the authenticity of Fury’s current retirement claims.
Fury’s retirement follows his second defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in December 2024, where he aimed to regain his heavyweight world championship title and restore his glory.
The much-anticipated bout between Fury and his compatriot Anthony Joshua is now in doubt.
