Tyson Fury delivers second snub as boxer is spotted for first time since retiring

Tyson Fury snubbed his own energy drink as he was spotted for the first time since dropping his retirement bombshell earlier this week. On Monday, the 'Gypsy King' shocked the boxing world after taking to social media to confirm that he'll be hanging up his gloves. ”Hi everybody, I’m going to make this short and sweet," he said in a video from his car. "I would like to announce my retirement from boxing. It’s been a blast. I’ve loved every single minute of it. And I’m going to end with this… Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everybody see you on the other side. Get up!".
The 36-year-old opted to walk away from boxing after suffering back-to-back defeats by Oleksandr Usyk. Fury was narrowly beaten last May in their first encounter, but had the opportunity to avenge his loss seven months later. In the tense and gripping sequel, the 'Gypsy King' began on the front foot as his sharp jabs and shots to the body appeared to catch 'The Cat' off guard.
However, the tide turned just before the midway point as Usyk's speed and blitzing movement allowed him to control proceedings before claiming a unanimous decision victory. Since the defeat in Riyadh, Fury has enjoyed a relaxing few weeks off with his family in Morecambe.
Just two days on from his retirement announcement, Fury was spotted for the first time and appeared to be in good spirits. The 36-year-old was seen at a petrol station in Lancashire, clutching a can of Monster energy drink before entering his vehicle. Fury has his own brand of energy drink, Furocity, which he launched in 2022.
