Heavyweight Tyson Fury declared he’s retired from boxing in a brief social media post on Monday.
The former heavyweight champion, 36, claims he’s calling it quits for the fourth time. “The Gypsy King” suffered a second consecutive defeat last month to Oleksandr Usyk.
“Hi everybody, I’m going to make this short and sweet. I’d like to announce my retirement from boxing,” Fury said in a video shared via Instagram.
In May 2024, Usyk handed Fury his first career loss by split decision to spoil a career 34-0-1 record. Usyk won the rematch in December. By claiming a unanimous decision, Usyk retained the WBA, WBO and WBC heavyweight championships in the fight held in Saudi Arabia.
Fury retired briefly in 2013, 2017 and 2022. Most recently, he defeated Dillian Whyte via sixth round technical knockout in April 2022 and declared it was his final bout.
But he returned to the ring in October 2023 to defeat Derek Chisora in a trilogy fight that was stopped late in the 10th round.
