Tyson Fury makes rare public statement after retiring from boxing
Share:
Tyson Fury has spoken out for the first time since he retired from boxing - but fans have been left disappointed after the 'Gypsy King' took to social media to promote a competition. Earlier this month, the former two-time heavyweight world champion shocked the boxing world by announcing his retirement from the sport. The news came as a big blow to Anthony Joshua - who has been tipped to face the fellow Brit inside the squared-circle this year.
Fury made the announcement in a short video which he posted on social media. "Hi everybody, I'm going to make this short and sweet," he said to the camera. "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!".
After hanging up the gloves, the 36-year-old has been enjoying life outside of the ring and has been spending a lot more quality time with his family. However, he recently opted to upload a video to his socials. Traditionally, Fury tends to post a short clip online promoting his upcoming fight or showing off how hard he's working in training. This time around though, he decided to take a different approach.
Taking to Instagram, the Brit revealed how fans can enter a whopping competition to win themselves a Mercedes SL55, saying: "Hi guys, Tyson Fury here! Sign up to Ring Magazine today and get your chance to win the SL55. All the best. Good luck and god bless you.".
The post seemed to trick a few fans, with one writing: "Thought you were announcing a comeback," while another replied: "Really thought he was out of retirement already when I seen this video." A third posted: "Was hoping for come back video!! Get back in the ring Tyson!!".
