Tyson Fury has officially announced his retirement from boxing following his second consecutive loss to Oleksandr Usyk. Fury made the announcement on Instagram, thanking fans and colleagues for their support throughout his career, saying, “Thanks, it’s been a blast.” The defeat to Usyk marked the only two losses in Fury’s professional record, making the decision significant for the heavyweight champion.
Known for his unpredictable career moves, this isn’t the first time Fury has declared retirement. He previously stepped back from the sport after defeating Dillian Whyte in 2022, only to return months later. Despite his confidence in having won both fights against Usyk, all three judges scored against him, a decision Fury labeled as unfair but ultimately accepted.
The duology with Usyk came at a personal cost, with Fury spending months away from his family to train. Reflecting on the losses and the strain, Fury expressed his belief in his victories but acknowledged the challenges of not securing a knockout.
While fans and analysts are skeptical about whether this retirement will stick, Fury’s announcement highlights the end of a chapter for one of boxing’s most charismatic and divisive figures. For now, Fury seems ready to step away from the ring, focusing on family and a life beyond boxing.
