Has Tyson Fury retired from boxing?
TYSON FURY is one of the greatest heavyweights of his era in boxing.
But the future of the Gypsy King remains up in the air following back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.
Has Tyson Fury retired from boxing?
On January 13, 2025, Fury released a video on social media revealing that he is officially retiring from boxing.
He said: “Hey everybody, I am going to make it short and sweet. I would like to announce my retirement from boxing.
“It has been a blast and I have loved every single minute of it.
“I’m going to end with this – Dirk Turpin wore a mask.
“God bless everybody and see you on the other side.”
Fury was touted for a blockbuster all-British clash with Anthony Joshua in the summer of 2025.
AJ’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, even revealed that he had reserved Wembley Stadium for the huge bout between the two heavyweights – but now the fight looks to be dead in the water.
That said, this is not the first time Fury has said he has hung up his gloves.
The first time came 12 years ago when he grew frustrated when a fight with David Haye fell through.
He declared at the time: “Hi everyone, I have officially retired from boxing. There’s too many bent [crooked] people in the sport. They will have to f*** someone else. Goodbye boxing.”
Following the announcement, he took a three-year break from the sport between 2015 and 2018, during which many didn’t expect to see him again.
Then, following his win over Dillian Whyte in 2022, Fury retired again before deciding to make a comeback against Derek Chisora just six months later.
This means we can’t be 100 per cent sure that Fury will never return to the ring again, especially when a huge bout with Joshua is waiting in the wings.
