Tyson Fury says he’s done with boxing. The 36-year-old heavyweight took to social media to announce his latest retirement, yet we all have heard these farewell speeches before - only for Fury to unretire once a big fight or paycheck beckons.
Not long ago, a showdown between Fury and Anthony Joshua seemed close to reality, with Wembley Stadium supposedly reserved and Saudi figures like Turki Alalshikh expressing interest. However, Fury's surprise announcement poured cold water on the whole idea. In his cryptic style, "The Gypsy King" invoked the name "Dick Turpin" and mentioned wearing a mask, leaving many scratching their heads.

True boxing fans know Fury’s "retirements" carry less weight than a featherweight. In 2022, he famously said he was done after beating Dillian Whyte, only to return and fight Derek Chisora months later. This latest retirement might stick for a while - or it might not. If history is any guide, expect Fury back, making headlines again the moment an intriguing new matchup or massive payday surfaces.
