Boxing fans have cast unanimous doubt over Tyson Fury's retirement announcement that saw the Gypsy King shockingly claim he won't be fighting again on Monday afternoon. The 36-year-old - who is still reeling rom his heavyweight championship rematch defeat against Oleksandr Usyk - surprised the boxing world by filming a video message explaining his plans to retire.
Fury had been tipped to negotiate a Battle of Britain clash against Anthony Joshua for later this year, but those plans have now been cooled by the Gypsy King who has made similar step-away claims before. Waving goodbye to the sport that has made Fury a two-time world champion, the veteran heavyweight stated: 'Hi everybody, I'm going to make this short and sweet,' he said in a clip he shared to social media.
'I'd like to announce my retirement from boxing. It's been a blast, I've loved every single minute of it. 'I'm going to end with this... Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everybody, see you on the other side. GET UP!'. Boxing fans have cast unanimous doubt over Tyson Fury 's retirement announcement.
Fury announced he won't be fighting again after being beaten by Oleksandr Usyk for the second time. Anthony Joshua had outlined his ambitions to fight Fury in a Battle of Britain heavyweight clash. However, rather than receiving legacy praise and well-wishes from supporters, Fury was instead ridiculed on social media by critics claiming this is a stunt to get a more lucrative contract offer.
