Tyson Fury has announced his retirement from boxing following consecutive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.

It is the second time Fury has retired from the sport, having previously stepped down after beating Dillian Whyte in April 2022, only to return six months later.

Fury's last match came in December when he lost his heavyweight title rematch against Uysk by unanimous decision, with the Ukrainian, who won their first bout by split decision, retaining his WBA (Super), WBC and WBO titles.

It was just Fury's second defeat of his career as he finishes with a record of 34 wins, two defeats and one draw. He also enjoyed two stints as heavyweight champion.

"Hi everybody, I'm going to make this short and sweet," said Fury in a video posted to Instagram.

"I'd like to announce my retirement from boxing. It's been a blast. I've loved every single minute of it.

"I'm going to end with this, Dick Turpin wore a mask! God bless everybody, see you on the other side."

Fury shocked Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 to become the heavyweight champion for the first time, claiming the WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO titles. He then became a two-time champion in 2018, beating Deontay Wilder after over two-and-a-half years out of the ring.

The announcement comes just days after promoter Eddie Hearn revealed Wembley Stadium had been reserved for Fury to fight Anthony Joshua later this year.
