- 36-year-old quits sport in 17-second Instagram video
- Fury had been expected to meet Anthony Joshua
Tyson Fury has announced his retirement from boxing, yet again, in a 17-second posting on Instagram which he released just hours before a major press conference in London to publicise next month’s heavily hyped Riyadh bill which includes Daniel Dubois’ IBF world title defence against Joseph Parker.
It could be a typical ploy from Fury to divert attention from other heavyweights but, following two punishing fights against Oleksandr Usyk last year, both of which he lost narrowly, he might have chosen to get out of the brutal fight business with his faculties intact and more money than he can spend in the coming years.
