The boxing world was handed a shock on Monday when former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury announced his retirement from the sport … again.

Fury has claimed to be retiring from the sport on several prior occasions, most notably in April 2022 after he knocked out Dillian Whyte in the sixth round at Wembley Stadium to retain his WBC heavyweight title. That retirement lasted just a few months though, and by the late summer, Fury already was calling out British rival Anthony Joshua again.

Tyson Fury is hanging up his gloves. The former heavyweight champion announced Monday that he is retiring from boxing at the age of 36, less than a month after “The Gypsy King” lost for a second consecutive time to Oleksandr Usyk.
