Rother Radio – Special Announcement Love Local, Love Music!
The 36-year-old former world heavyweight champion lost his second fight with current title holder Oleksandr Usyk last month in Saudi Arabia.
Fury said in a cryptic video message posted on Instagram: “Hi everybody, I’m going to make this short and sweet.
“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.”
Fury had said he had no intention of retiring after a unanimous points defeat to Usyk in December – his second loss to the Ukrainian, who beat the Briton by split decision at the same Riyadh venue the previous May.
Boxing fans had been hoping Fury would finally fight fellow Briton Anthony Joshua this year.
Fury previously announced his intention to quit the sport after he had retained his WBC belt by stopping Dillian Whyte at Wembley in 2022.
The ‘Gypsy King’ said at the time: “I’ve been in this game 20 years, I’m 34 in a few months.
“I said the third (Deontay) Wilder fight would be my last, but I felt I owed the fans one last homecoming. This is definitely the end of the Gypsy King and I went out with a bang.”
