Former heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, retires from boxing

Tyson Fury, the British heavyweight champion, announced his retirement from boxing following a second defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch last month.

In a brief video, the 36-year-old Fury stated, “I’d like to announce my retirement from boxing. It’s been a blast.” Fury’s retirement ends a career that spanned over a decade, with a final record of 34 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw. His departure comes after losing a unanimous decision to Usyk, which dashed his hopes of reclaiming unified heavyweight titles.

Despite a storied career marked by comebacks and personal struggles, Fury’s retirement leaves unresolved the potential blockbuster fight with Anthony Joshua, leaving fans questioning the future of heavyweight boxing in the UK.
