The British boxer’s decision comes less than a month after losing his world heavyweight title to Alexander Usyk.

Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury says he has retired from boxing.

“I’m going to keep this short and sweet,” the British boxer posted on social media on Monday. “I want to announce my retirement from boxing. This is awesome.”

Fury’s announcement comes after he defeated Usyk via unanimous decision in their rematch on December 21, a fight that saw the Ukrainian unify the heavyweight world titles.

Fury’s unexpected retirement raised some questions. Back in April 2022, the widely known “Gypsy King” said he was “no more” boxing after his win over Dillian Whyte, but he returned a few months later to fight Derek Chisora duel.

If this is indeed the end of Fury’s boxing career, he will leave the sport with a stellar career record of 32 wins, one draw and two losses in 35 fights, including two losses to Usyk last year.

Ahead of Monday’s announcement, the 36-year-old was expected to return to the ring in 2025 for a blockbuster showdown with long-time British rival Anthony Joshua.
