Tyson Fury Reiterates Retirement Decision

Our Reporters2 weeks ago2 weeks ago03 mins

Tyson Fury has insisted that he is staying retired from boxing and says there is no reason for him to return to the sport despite continued speculation over a potential fight with Anthony Joshua. The ‘Gypsy King’ claimed he had retired in January in the wake of his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in their heavyweight rematch in Saudi Arabia. It marked the latest of multiple retirement announcements throughout Fury’s career, with his track record of returning preserving hope of an eventual and long-awaited all-British showdown with Joshua. But in a new video posted to Instagram while on holiday, Fury has reiterated his stance. “What would I return for? More belts? I’ve won 22 of them,” he said. “I’ve been rumped, that’s it, fair play to them, they got their use out of me. “But I’m happy, I am happy, content with what I have achieved and accomplished. I’ve been around the world and back again. “And this is what retirement looks like for the Gypsy King, not too shabby. I’m in no rush at all, to come back to boxing and get my face punched in. “For what? What would I return for? I ask that question. I am retired and I am staying retired. I have nothing to prove to anybody and nothing to return for.” Fury had recently teased a return to boxing when he posted a video of himself in the gym alongside trainer SugarHill Steward. He and Joshua have been repeatedly linked to what would serve as one of the biggest fights in British boxing history over the years, only for talks to repeatedly break down. Fury is coming off back-to-back defeats to Usyk having missed out on the opportunity to become undisputed heavyweight champion in the pair’s first fight last year. The 36-year-old held every major heavyweight title during his two spells as champion having beaten Wladimir Klitschko to become the unified champion in 2015.

Tyson Fury’ll Never Fight Again -Top Promoter Says

Boxing promoter Bob Arum has insisted that Tyson Fury “will never fight again” after the Brit retired from fighting earlier this year. The Gypsy King retired from professional boxing for the fourth time back in January, throwing into doubt the opportunity to see him take on Anthony Joshua in a highly anticipated Battle of Britain bout. But Fury has come out of retirement three times so a fourth U-turn would hardly be surprising for the former heavyweight fighter. Arum, chief executive of Las Vegas boxing promoter Top Rank, said: “If I was a betting man I would say he will never fight again. Marvin Hagler [former US boxer] had an expression – ‘a rich guy who goes to bed wearing silk pyjamas doesn’t get up in the morning to do road work’. “Tyson, really, I don’t think wants to get up in the morning and do road work and go through the experience of having to train when economically he doesn’t have to do it any more.” Fury’s professional boxing record has seen him win 34 of 37 fights, drawing one and losing two. The draw came in 2018 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles against Deontay Wilder for the WBC heavyweight title. Both losses, his last two fights, came against Oleksandr Usyk. The Ukrainian is seen as the one to beat at the moment having become the third man after Terence Crawford and Naoya Inoue to become an undisputed champion in two weights within the four-belt era. It comes as Daniel Dubois and Usyk are holding talks over a fight at Wembley Stadium in July. Dunois was due to fight Joseph Parker in February in defence of his IBF belt but illness forced his withdrawal. Usyk has hinted at a retirement soon, but has not committed to such a decision. And it is uncertain whether British fans will ever get their Fury-Joshua clash.
