Former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury announced his latest retirement from boxing Monday, one month after losing a rematch with Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury has called it a career on multiple occasions previously, most recently in April 2022 after his win over Dillian Whyte. However, the Brit returned to action in December that year.
“I’m going to make this short and sweet, I’d like to announce my retirement from boxing,” Fury said in a video posted to social media.
“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.”
It was unclear why Fury made a reference to Turpin, a famed 18th century English highway robber and horse thief. Fury also retired in 2013 and 2017 in social media posts, with both statements proving to be short-lived.
