Tyson Fury Announces Retirement – Is It Really the End? Boxing

[Franco Pinion]

This thread is for the general discussion of the Sport Tyson Fury Announces Retirement (Again!) – But Is It Really the End?. Please add to the discussion here.

I think he should retire but I don't believe this is the end. He won't want to go out with those two Usyk losses as his last fights.

I imagine we will see him in the ring fighting Anthony Joshua at some stage later this year.

Probably all part of the Tyson vs Joshua storyline. Rather predictable, and set up to maximise what will be one final, astronomical payday.

I won't miss him if he has retired. He is classless (so is his family). I don't actually think he is very talented either - his height and weight should have given him a huge advantage over anyone, especially Usyk.

"Hi everybody, I'm going to make this short and sweet. I'd like to announce my retirement from boxing, it has been a blast, I've loved every single minute of it and I'm going to end with this; Dick Turpin wore a mask."

Is he trying to imply he was robbed against Usyk with the Dirk Turpin reference?

I'll be glad to see the back of him, to be honest.

The main reason he found success was because he is substantially larger than most of his opponents. Who were basically a whole weight division below him.

Is he trying to imply he was robbed against Usyk with the Dirk Turpin reference?

Assume he's referring to some kind of robbery, either from judges or a promoter (probably judges).

Either robbed in the Usyk fight or feels he's being robbed of the purse for a Joshua fight. The main issue with this tactic is I'm not sure anyone cares if he doesn't fight again.

 

[Boot Cleaner]

I'd be very surprised if this actually turns out to be his retirement.

 

[Black Sheep]

He's been beyond boring over the last few years. Wasn't robbed and will no doubt be back for another big pay day against Joshua

Anything Tyson says should be taken with a pinch of salt, he has no credibility. If it was Usyk, or even Joshua, who put a video out saying he was retiring you would believe him, with Tyson he will probably change his mind by next week.

 

[Jason]

Think it's the right call if he is serious and sticks to it. He met his Waterloo in Usyk and there's nowhere else to go.

Fury's not really been boxing well since the second Wilder fight.
