After he had substance abuse problems, nobody would have imagined that he would come back and reach the level of success he did. The purses he earned in these last years probably makes him the highest paid heavyweight ever, outside of Mike Tyson. After making so much money and coming up short in becoming undisputed champion, the motivation might not be there anymore.
A fight against Anthony Joshua would still be massive, but he still feels that he was robbed in the two losses against Usyk, and he is choosing to retire out of frustration.
Topic: Tyson Fury retires - page 2. (Read 866 times)
This retirement may be a tactic that allows them to take some time to prepare and focus without pressure until they find a point where they are at their best version and can return in better condition. And if this does not happen, they would have no option but to continue with their retirement.
This has happened many times, so much so that it should no longer be cataloged as retirement unless it is permanent.
There should be clearer rules or guidelines to define and regulate retirement in sports.

Yesterday, the former heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, announced his retirement from boxing following a failed attempt of winning a rematch against Usyk.
Did he really retire, or just struggling to accept defeat? We have heard news of his retirement a number times yet he keeps coming back. If he really means it this time around, then that's his personal decision and I wish him well. Although, Tyson Fury has always been open about his struggles with his mental health and the need to have more time for his family. If he actually retires, it will still be a win for him as he would have more time to focus on his health and family. Tyson is indeed a great boxer. 
I am sure that the life story of Tyson Fury will be the basis for a Hollywood movie script.
Tyson Fury was born into a family of Irish gypsies, his father was an outstanding street fighter who fought opponents without gloves. Tyson himself was born prematurely and doctors believed that he would not survive. However, his father immediately realized that he was a great fighter and named him after the great boxer Michael Tyson. Over time, Tyson Fury became a huge giant and an invincible fighter. He managed to defeat even such a famous boxer as Klitschko. It was a truly legendary fight!
Currently, Tyson Fury is not as young as he used to be. Unfortunately, in his youth he took drugs, which worsened his health. The career of a professional boxer cannot be endless.
Sooner or later it ends.... But Tyson Fury has already become a legend!

Yeah, everybody retires and almost everybody comes back one way or another for various rematches. I don't think there's much point in those matches from a career standpoint because those guys are past their prime. They're basically commercial fights for former fans. You know, like when bands that were popular in the past do nostalgia shows and tour cities for their old fans. Tyson Fury is a great fighter, but he's still weaker than Usyk. The rematch wasn't a success and I don't think there will be any more rematches.
He can still fight, but not against those who are at their prime because Tyson will only just lose. Unless he fights a newbie and less experienced boxer. If he wants to remain active in boxing, he might recommend himself as a coach rather than a player because his time is over. He will just punish himself for believing he could still raise his armor because obviously, he can't.
Showing his great performance and achievements in life is enough to remember that he dominates other boxers. But of course, he will also admit that he can no longer stay long in the ring like he did before. And just like other known names in boxing, there is an end to being such a machine.

This is a shocker news for me! 
I didnt read almost any news in last few days and this is the first time I am hearing about Fury decision.
I wish all the best to Fury, he is a true boxing legend, but I think he is going to come back in future and give us one or two more fights.

It's not the first time he announced his retirement. He has done it in the past (2022) but later decided to return shortly after.
Whether it's a thought-through decision, or just his current mood - I don't know. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
He's 36, so not that old for the heavyweight, he could potentially have a couple of more fights in him.
I don't know if there's a rule for this retirement, I think that would have made a whole lot of sense because the advantage are getting now that they can retire and still come back in the future is begito feel misused because since he's still young, he may want to come back again years after to fight probably because he will feel that he's still gat what it takes and moreover there's no restrictions so I think they should begin to think in that direction so retired boxers can actually rest when they retire, I just hope for tyson this isn't one of his temporary retirements, as he will soon be too aged for it espqhen he gets to his forties. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLoijJ5-7x8&pp=ygUVdHlzb24gZnVyeSByZXRpcmVtZW50

I don't know if this is a brave decision or a cowardly belief for most of these pro boxers who always have the impression of retiring from boxing whenever they experience a huge loss in their boxing career.
The funny thing is that they later dismiss the idea of retiring from boxing when they see they are back on the good side of winning against their hardest opponent.
Perhaps they think that it is enough to have fighting in boxing and now is the time to retiring from boxing. Or he did that because of his loss in the his boxing career and he didn't see a chance to win in the match.The funny thing is that they later dismiss the idea of retiring from boxing when they see they are back on the good side of winning against their hardest opponent.
But if they are return to boxing in the next months, that will be up to them because someone can decides like that easily. While we cannot judge anything to him because we don't know what is his real situation.
I see this as an excuse strategy used this day by pro-boxers and I believe that's the real situation.
Tyson Fury cannot be said to be old because he is still 36 years old, and what we must know is that sometimes physical does not look at age. However, if we look at Tyson Fury's physical condition, it can be said that he is no longer in prime condition and his punching endurance is not like before and that was seen when he fought twice with Oleksandr Usyk.
Definitely Tyson Fury is one of the all time greats and I think that everyone interested in this sport is impressed with his physical power. Nevertheless in my view his professional fortune is over. Would be nice if he could decide to pass on his skills to the beginners and step the couching path.

I think losing back to back on same person after a solid career run gives him a strong sign for early retirement while still his popularity is still there. I think he can still win when facing other contender but I doubt he can redeem the honor that was lost during the Usyk fight.
For me, his retirement might be for good since he already have the reason compared during 2022 which he just feel unbeatable on the league.
We might see him fight on exhibition match rather than pro boxing if he still wants to earn money.
Btw, do make much drama out of this story. This is his second retirement already. Like he has announced his retirement on Instagram, he could announce his return 
He would take a rest, drink some beer, enjoyed his life for year or two, clear his mind and return for a exhibition fight or professional against worthy opponent. Even though he has retired from pro, he still is an interesting opponent to have a boxing fight against.
He would take a rest, drink some beer, enjoyed his life for year or two, clear his mind and return for a exhibition fight or professional against worthy opponent. Even though he has retired from pro, he still is an interesting opponent to have a boxing fight against. This is not his second retirement, even before had multiple retirements,
1. in 2013, frustrated he he didn't get to fight Haye as Haye was reinjured twice and so he goes on retirement
2. when he beat Klitschko and there were talks of a immediate rematch that didn't happen in 2017. And then admitted that he had substance and mental issues.
3. went back again in 2018 and then said that he will retire, 'This might be the final curtain for the Gypsy King': Tyson Fury says he'll retire after promising his wife Paris that he'd hang up his gloves following sensational KO of Dillian Whyte... despite lure of a potential unification bout later this year.
So I don't know if this is his final decision though. But definitely he will have to factor his family as well and like any boxers who retire, they talk to their families before making the final decision.
Great compilation. Thanks for sharing. That just proves that his retirement is awaited for long time and a right decision. Every few years there is a crisis in his head, he burns out mentally and goes for a restart. I dont know how many mental restarts can a human brain can successfully survive. Its not easy to survive fame, money, when people always look at you and await something. If he really retires right now, I think he will do it still like a king, but not like an injured, beaten, humiliated, laughed, spoken boxer.
Good question, even a average human might not know how many mental resets we can have, just in order to survived in life. But Fury has proven many times already, and others might have seen the version of Fury who still have hair, or when he balloon so much but still manage to win fights.
So it just shows how resilient he is, but then again, we are all humans and there will be times that we will be tired and even if we have the fame and money, you could just be alone in the dark, questioning your will and maybe that's what happen to him that's why he wanted to retire for him from the sports that bring him money that he can only imagine that he will see in his lifetime.
I’m going to judge his announcement with a pinch of salt although this retirement claim by Fury is probably more genuine than his previous ones. After losing to Usyk twice I’m not sure where else he has to go. Maybe there is a want for him to fight Joshua or Dubois.
I don’t see why Fury would get a shot at any belt for a while now, if ever. Usyk has proven himself against Fury, the money for Usyk is elsewhere now.
I am not very current when it comes to boxing, it's not really my kind of sports or one I would say I enjoy watching, so, may not know much about the Fighters, but in my honest opinion, I personally still consider Tyson to be young at 36 years old, losing to Usyk is not enough reason to decide to retire if actually he wasnt prepared to.I don’t see why Fury would get a shot at any belt for a while now, if ever.

Strength aren't the same for everyone and will never be, a fighter should be able to acknowledge and accept wholeheartedly when he sees another fighter that he can't beat, not being able to beat one opponent shouldn't be a reason to retire from what one loves to do if he is not in reality; ready to retire, but all the same, is his life and he knows whats for him to do with it.
A regular person at the age of 36 indeed is still young, but a pro athlete I suppose is old. Regular person body does not go through years of intense training and stress. Regular person does not get usually the amount of attention, fame, mental problems celebrities and pro athletes have. It isnt easy to be monitored and spoken about 24/7/365. When losing to Usk twice maybe is not enough, but a chance to have belts or even a fight for belt might influence on his decision.

We will not be surprised any longer if there will be some post again on his socials that tells that he'll be coming back from retirement to have another come back fight.If that's the case, this they know how to make people excite for someone who's got from retirement and they want to see him fight again.
The ticket sales are skyrocketing with this kind of strategy but, I hope that he's retired for good.
These comeback fights seems to attract more attention since people are highly expected to see how such a boxer will perform. It will not be strange to see him return to the ring since most world champions did the same.
The numbers might be there, but after they come back, not sure if they can still win or have the same motivation as before. There are fighters that retired for good for the reason that they don't have any more. Oscar Dela Hoya was one case, he makes a comeback and fought Manny Pacquiao but it was obvious that he was a walking dead in the ring with Manny.
So for this fighters, might be better to just retire and not comeback for the money as they will be damage. Also another case is Sugar Ray if my memory serves me right, he had eye injuries, a detach retina and still comeback but there was nothing left in him.

Homestly im glad he is. I hate seeing boxers hang on. Fights get worse and on a personal level thats when they get their head knocked around. They get slower to defend and they take fights they shouldnt for the money. Usually outmatched in those fights and take a beating. If you can walk away from boxing consider yourself lucky you had the chance and dont have marbles rolling around in your head.
Still, Tyson Fury, the British boxer, was 36-year-old and a former heavyweight champion. He made his retirement known via a short video on social media.
Tyson Fury, using his own words, expressed his gratitude for the massive experience he has had so far in his career by stating that, "It's been a blast. I've loved every single minute of it".
I hope this retirement serves as a model for other boxers to copy at the right time of retirement, not hanging on while becoming a nuisance to the sport and to others upcoming.

He did retire before already and came back pretty quickly so lets see if he really means it this time. He is one my favorite boxers as he can give a punch but also receive it (look at his matches against Wilder). Besides that, it is just fun to watch his interviews, his intros,... as he is so entertaining.
