Every one of Tyson Fury’s retirements revealed as he calls time on boxing career before Anthony Joshua fight
Share:
TYSON FURY has announced his retirement from boxing - but fans could be forgiven for questioning the refusing to believe it. Fury announced on social media that he was walking away from the sport following back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk. He said: "I would like to announce my retirement from boxing. It has been a blast and I have loved every single minute of it.".

But with a history of coming out of retirement and a mega-money fight with Anthony Joshua on the table - fans are ready to call Fury's bluff. And they would have reason to do so, as SunSport takes a look into the Gypsy King's history of calling it quits.

Fury first packed up his gloves and went home after his pay-per-view bout with David Haye got scrapped due to sustained a cut. He posted online: “Hi every1, I have officially retired from boxing. There's too many bent people in the sport.". Fury then returned three months later to beat Joey Abell but his rescheduled 2014 fight with Haye again collapsed.

This time it was due to Haye suffering a shoulder injury which required surgery. The British grudge match never materialised. Fury was two years removed from his famous upset victory over Wladimir Klitschko - where he won the WBA, WBO and IBF belts. But he was forced to vacate them after falling into depression and substance abuse.

He had retired earlier in 2017, before claiming it was a joke, but later posted online: Been very blessed in my life & career achieve the upmost in boxing, was a epic journey along the way. “Thanks to all the fans that supported & believed in me along the way. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. THE END.”.
