Tyson Fury<\/a> has seemingly announced his retirement from professional boxing following his second defeat to Oleksandr Usyk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Gypsy King made the announcement in a video on his Instagram<\/a> page on Monday.<\/p>\n

‘Hi everybody, I’m going to make this short and sweet,’ the 36-year-old began the video.<\/p>\n

‘I would like to announce my retirement from boxing. It’s been a blast. I’ve loved every single minute of it.<\/p>\n

‘And I’m going to end with this… Dick Turpin wore a mask<\/a>. God bless everybody see you on the other side. Get up!’<\/p>\n

Considered one the greatest boxers of all-time, Fury’s record stands at 34 wins from 37 fights, with his only two defeats coming against Usyk last year, the first on split decision and the second unanimously<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This announcement does come with a pinch of salt however, as Fury previously announced his retirement on his 34th birthday in 2022, only to make a dramatic return to the ring<\/a>.<\/p>\n
