Former World Heavyweight Professional Boxing Champion Tyson Fury has announced his retirement.
In an 18-second video filmed in a car, the 36-year-old Brit says: “I’d like to announce my retirement from boxing. It’s been great. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it and I’m going to finish with this – Dick Turpin (note p – English robber from the 18th century, who is an extremely popular figure in local folklore) he wore a mask. God bless you all.”
Fury finished his career with 34 wins, 24 of them by knockout, 1 draw and 1 loss in a total of 37 fights.
The scandalous Briton, known for his affinity for the cup, lost 2 times in a row after a judge’s decision to the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.
Their last fight on December 21 in Saudi Arabia.
