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.

This sounds like a huge defeat to Tyson and a more reason why he's requiring the retirement inorder to wave off from his loss but nevertheless looking out from his age preference I think yes he's not due for retirement but probably he just wanted to be off from boxing for a while and and then come up with enough energy and strategies you wouldn't know, but let's watch and see how it unfolds this time.
His thinking of retiring as a way to wave off his loss is another way of trying to ignore his responsibility and running away from what he ought to face as a man.
Yes, this age is not bad for retirement but some boxers reach the age of 40 years before thinking of retirement.

Yesterday, the former heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, announced his retirement from boxing following a failed attempt of winning a rematch against Usyk.

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.

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.

I had to search around for a place to post about this yesterday. I do think it is time for Tyson Fury to retire. I don’t believe he’s the best fighter in the world or even close anymore. His legendary reaction time is likely slowing to the point where he knows he isn’t going to win another fight. He did all he could though while he had his chance.

I have a strong feeling we'll see him fighting again. Obviously he must have lost a lot of motivation after losing his undefeated status to Usyk in their first fight and then failing at the rematch. So no wonder his immediate reaction is to give it a rest and move on. But after sitting around and doing nothing he'll get hungry again and will come back. He still has plenty of options that could earn him $ millions, this is hard to turn his back on.
I believe Eddie Hearn is pressing hard to get him to fight Anthony Joshua, which would be a great opportunity for either of them to redeem themselves and get back to the top.
And even if Fury won't fight any official fights anymore, he'd likely return to the ring for some exhibition fights, maybe a rematch with Ngannou, maybe Jon Jones  Grin

Is there something that I am missing? I thought there supposed to be a rematch between him and Usyk?

Yup, there was a rematch already and you must've missed it. It took place on 21 Dec and Usyk won by unanimous 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.

It is not uncommon for boxers to retire after a loss especially when it is a rematch, also, knowing that both of his only losses are from Usyk and are from the same year probably affected him a lot mentally so that's why he decided to retire. would love to see him fight again but only if he is actually in the right head space. a lot of boxers came back stronger after devastating losses, I would love to see him do it.

In most time they announced the retirement because of health issues and when they recovered and seen another fighter making wave when they can beat angered them to come back again. They like to show their skills to the world and when they came out and be beaten again then they would retired again. We have seen boxers done that in several times. Tyson Fury will still come back again to the boxing ring. He is still young. If he has reached the age of 50+ then he can retire permanently but he is still young.

Probably with health issues, but I think in Fury's case it could really be mental and he might be suffering from depression because of his two losses to Usyk. So I do think that it's better for him to retire or just take are rest for the meantime and not force himself to fight again when there's nothing in him.

And then when everything heals, then maybe he can go back and fight AJ for his last final fight and it might be AJ's last fight too. That will be the perfect ending for this two Brits, to fight it out in front of their fans for all the marbles and glory.

I wouldn't say this for sure because "every good thing comes to an end", meaning that there will always come a time that you have to throw in the towel in whatever you do. Tyson Fury have made a name in the boxing industry so he has to rest and allow others continue. He is not a kid but someone who age is not on his side anymore because he is already 36. Continuing to fight might just be like punishing himself because his time has passed so the best is to retire and enjoy his life in good health.
Aside from making a name for himself which is not the overall reason for a champion to retire the acceptance of defeat is the main case here, Fury is not too old compared to some who are still older and active in the boxing ring.

But between that also is the place of self-respect and paving of way for others when he knows he is already losing in strength, considering his performance in the December fights.

I think Usyk will do the same in the nearest future. Both boxer are relatively old for boxing where young prospective candidates are maturing,  one of them boxer from Australia (I don't remember his exact name) . Thus it is better to  be unbeaten champion and retire than end  boxing professional fortune after being defeated.
It is not easy to make it to the top. If you become an unbeatable boxer and later someone won you, that does not mean. The person will be remembered by people during his time. There is nothing better than reputation, fame and wealth. This will make me not agree with you.  Nobody wants to lose but it is just a match that they can use to acquire more wealth which is good.
I agree with you because boxing requires a lot of physical contact and at that, ranking up in that line is a hell of a journey many of the top boxers have sacrificed a lot physically to be there and at whatever age is no longer on the side they just had to retire and move away from the pressure and punches that comes from the profession, so when I saw the news headlines earlier today that Tyson Fury is retiring, what first came to my mind was his facial looks and how he had sacrificed the once handsome and clean face to the ugly punches from other boxers, but overall it a successful journey for him as a boxer.

I read the comment on that youtube video, and one of the comment make sense, it is possible that he wanted to prepare a possible max hype against Joshua if the fight will happen. Yeah, he already made a retirement announcement way back 2022 but then scheduled a fight months later.  Some of the comments on the video also stated that this was his fifth retirement lol.  

Anyway, I think we will be seeing him months after this announcement.  He is still young at 36.  I believe this retirement scheme is cooking for his upcoming fight, just to squeeze more money from it by creating controversies and issues to hype the audience and making them excited about his "return".

Maybe in the past, he decide to retire but he can go more for some reason and maybe one of those reason is of course money but we dont know for sure.

The article is all over the place and one of it said "Anthony Joshua has seven-man shortlist for next fight after Tyson Fury retirement" (Among the names mentioned are Martin Bakole, Dillian Whyte, Deontay Wilder, Zhilei Zhang, Agit Kabayel, Daniel Dubois, and Joseph Parker. ) https://www.express.co.uk/sport/boxing/2000707/anthony-joshua-next-fight-tyson-fury

Borrowing from Fury's retirement statement, it really is a blast, but Fury came out of retirement twice. its my belief that boxers finally retire when they think they lose their power, their speed, and their motivation. If any of these are still present, boxers will want to comeback or keep fighting.
I don't see the speed and power losing in his last fight. So if its motivation, then it should be a big compelling reason, and usually its the family.
If he decides to finally retire, then good for him; he needs to enjoy his money and have a good life, because he deserves it.

It's way too early for Tyson Fury to retire from boxing at the age of 36. The question being asked is, is he retiring from boxing because Usyk stripped him of the heavyweight champion belt? Tyson Fury must be a quitter if that's the case, for him to think of quitting because of two defeats he had in his boxing career, whereas other boxers who had more than two defeats in their boxing career and are not retiring from boxing yet, but long for more fights.
Tyson Fury has 34 wins and just two defeats and he has been 2x heavyweight champion with one draw, so I don't think it's about the defeat that's why he's retiring. I'm thinking probably of his health issues because it's not fun for him to keep announcing his retirement and returning back, this will be his third time he's going to announce his retirement.

I'm just looking out for more information about his retirement I don't want to believe it's because of defeat I mean you don't win all, you win some and you lose some and he has even won 10x the time he lost so I think it's something more that they are not bringing to the media and probably with time we will get to know.

His legendary reaction time is likely slowing to the point where he knows he isn’t going to win another fight. He did all he could though while he had his chance.
i have always been a fan of the nugget that every legend ought to retire at the time he still remains relevant and not stay in the game till the younger ones shows that they can stand a chance against him. Tyson fury is one of those fighters i so much love and at his age and for him to enjoy his old age, it is only best that he retires now and put in all the resource he has gathered into something good so he can use the rest of his time in doing something really good. 36b might look really young but bro, what does he needs to prove again? and why should he fight till late fourth before retiring? if i have my ways and the means of doing so, i will want to wish to retire at that kind of time so i can use the rest of my life in a less risky thing that is more of a managerial role or playing a directing role that doesn't require more of a physical exertion of any sort of force.

Happy for the man, but only if he's serious about the retirement this time,  36 is still a bit young to be honest, and expected to still be able to handle alot of heavyweight stuffs, but also on the other hand, some factors have to be considered as well, like from what age he starting his career in boxing, this factor can determine if he still by now, would have the strength to keep it going.

But then, he owns his body and possibly knows the changes that has happened, if he feels less strength and powerful like he used to, instead of collapsing or getting killed in the ring, better to retire early, stay alive and enjoy the wealth he has amassed for himself and loved ones.

I would say a big congratulations to him, again, only if he is serious about the retirement though.

Maybe this is real on this time because just like on what you have said that he had already known that he might not be able to win up the next fight. Instead on adding up his overall loses even more then he would be deciding to retire to make at least that his world record wont really be that much bad to look at whenever he will be adding up his loses. Its true that when it comes to speed then this man is getting slow and i do also see up that this man have some stamina issue as this one getting old. In regarding into his age then he's really that not old to retire but well if we decided up to stop this career then there's nothing we can do. He do knows that he indeed might be no match up with other upcoming fighters that come in the way.

This is what most people been thinking that he's really that trying out to stop that loss to pile up but just been said that this might really be just that
only because of that current mood on why he had been saying about such decision but actually anytime he can just said that it is really just that not true
and he'll continue.

Well, this retirement announced by Tyson Fury can be pointing to a strategy for Tyson Fury to secure a better deal for a potential fight with Anthony Joshua since is in both minds to fight against each other someday. The Opportunity for that has arisen. As both fighter promoters will work on having that fight come into reality later this year for a bigger pay

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 expect him to get another fight after their rematch against Usyk, but I guess it hit hard to him and decide to retire since maybe he's emotionally hurt for his defeat gotten from that fight.

Although its not surprising for dropping that decision since somehow he's going to that direction. But who knows right? maybe he's just resting and want to recover from emotional stress he got from that fight. 36 years old is not old for a boxer so let see by next year if he will announce another comeback fight since for sure that a fighter would seek a fight especially if they know that they are still capable to win against their potential opponents.
I also hope that in the future Tyson Fury will give a surprise and fight again because we don't know what will happen and as we know Mike Tyson is no longer young, he is 58 years old and he fought again with Jake Paul, even though it was an exhibition match he still fought again with a different physical condition.

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.
