Tyson Fury is done fighting.

That’s the latest word from the heavyweight boxing star, who announced Monday via social media that he is retiring.

“Hi everybody, I’m going to make this short and sweet,” Fury said in a video. “I’d like to announce my retirement from boxing. 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. Get up!”

“Dick Turpin” refers to a famous English highway robber from the early 1700s.

The timing of the retirement is both surprising and not surprising, given recent events and Fury’s history. He appeared to be building towards a highly anticipated matchup with fellow British star Anthony Joshua with both fighters coming off losses.

Fury dropped a unanimous decision to rival Oleksandr Usyk this past December, making it back-to-back title fight losses to the Ukrainian standout. On the other side, Joshua failed to reclaim heavyweight gold when he lost by fifth-round knockout to Daniel Dubois in an IBF title fight in September.

However, any plans for Fury vs. Joshua appear to be out the window for now with the 36-year-old announcing his retirement. Giving fans hope is the fact that Fury has retired before, notably in 2022 following a sixth-round TKO of Dillian Whyte. He retired in August of that year and then returned to fight Derek Chisora just four months later.

Fury’s most recent win was a controversial decision over former UFC star Francis Ngannou. The debuting Ngannou scored a knockdown of Fury during the fight and went the distance with the far-more experienced fighter, but came out on the wrong end of a split decision.

Should Fury’s retirement stick, he closes out one of the most decorated careers in boxing history. Fury won his first 24 fights before ascending to the top of the heavyweight ladder with a shocking decision win over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015. He remained undefeated until clashing with Usyk and his pro record now sits at 34-2-1.
