Topic: Tyson Fury retires (Read 866 times)
It is not the first time that Fury has retired from the sport. In April 2022 he said he would retire after beating Dillian Whyte, only to return to the ring six months later, most likely another controversy to generate more money for his next fight.
I am happy to see Tyson Fury leave at such a time when he still can and not when he is a shadow of his former self. I say congratulations to him and I thank him for teaching us to never to give up. He has been through a very tough mental health issues.
I say good luck to him. He gave us so many great fights and I enjoyed. Let him go now and enjoy his retirement with his beautiful family go. I wish for him to live the rest of your life as happy as possible.I would be happy if he can stick with his decision this time around. If he is contented with what he has accomplished and let it say that way with him have second thoughts and being drawn back for money.

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.
Yes, as I have said in the previous thread, this is not the first time that he declared his retirement and then boxing fans feels bad about it. But then we goes back again, and become the heavyweight champion. And it added the mystique on his name and held the belt for a couple of years more before going 0-2 against Usyk.
So we don't know what he is pulling this kind of stunt, and so it's hard to say if this is for real or Fury again playing with us and his fans. Although if you look at it, he is settled in life already with his winnings from boxing.
There is still the biggest fight, all British showdown with Anthony Joshua, so I think he will make this as his "comeback" fight.
This isn't the first time that Tyson is retiring from boxing though, He has retired countless times in the past only for him to return back to boxing.I think the guy feels bad over his constant fights loss with this Usyk guy which might have dealt with his self confidence and fighting prowess or it could be depression.
Although nobody knows why he's been acting that way.I feel like He's getting scared and he feels defeated.Then he should take a long break to rewind and unwind with & for himself.
Tyson is not the only one who did that to my knowledge, because Manny Paquiao is one of them, he also said that he would retire from the boxing field and yet we know for sure before that he had an exhibition match that was Korean if I am not mistaken.
So, that is not new to me and I also understood it somehow, and the reason is very simple and it is because of MONEY, because this is the only way they know how to earn a lot of money,
in my opinion.
If Tyson Fury finally retires from boxing, surely before he can agree to come back from retirement and fight anyone, the money must really be huge, and if possible, it could be the amount he hasn't made in a single fight in his entire professional boxing career. Tyson Fury has been in this game for a long time, and he has done a lot of damage to his opponents, such as his famous victory against Deontay Wilder. If Tyson Fury means it this time that he wants to put an end to his professional boxing career, I think he should be respected for that because he is one of the best boxers in the game in the past decade.
I am not a fan of Fury but everything nowadays come with a price. And we've seen it with legends that have come from retirement, they went back for some exhibitions and of course it comes with a hefty price. Surely, if he ever comes back, there will be a decent deal that will make him hard to decline it. All of them needs to have something still even if they're already rich and have got some savings. They're all in for some quick money then and it's all for the show and they don't mind about glory and reputation anymore because they're done with the professional career. 
He lost twice to Usyk, so there’s no chance of a third fight, and with no bigger offers on the table to come. I highly doubt he’ll come out of retirement with his reported net worth of $160 million, I’d say he has more than enough to enjoy his retirement comfortably. No need to risk it all for one more fight.
But 200 million is still more than 160, right? I think that if some kind of money fight is organized, he will easily forget that he has once again ended his career. Maybe an exhibition fight with a UFC fighter/blogger, maybe a fight with Joshua, he still has options to earn money. If we take a purely sporting aspect, then Usyk has already sent Fury into retirement and Fury's further actions are unimportant.
Tyson Fury is not the best, but he is among the best boxers around.
He was, before his loss to Usyk. In fact, you could see it in the betting odds during their first fight, Tyson Fury was the favorite. But then he lost, and in the rematch, it was the same story. Still, this champion has pride. He’s a real warrior who admitted defeat gracefully, which ultimately led to his retirement.In my opinion, even if he retired early, he’s already cemented his place in history, especially with his fights against Wilder. And of course, he’s made a fortune in boxing, so he can now retire and enjoy life after the sport.
I believe if the money involve is quite huge, he may change his mind. But for now, just enjoy his life while he is still younger. After all, he got good money out of his boxing career. This is a brutal sports per se, so while his health is intact, the decision to retire is actually good for his family. I understand that he lost his fight and for most boxers, they would want to retire as winners. But maybe, his fate is different. He already showed what he's got in this sports.
Yesterday, the former heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, announced his retirement from boxing following a failed attempt of winning a rematch against Usyk.
I'm not sure, what he said (retire) as far as I know Tyson Fury has said it in the media at least five times, in fact he did it again and bet again, including the first one he published 11 years ago, In less than a month he announced his retirement again because he lost in the rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, I think he was just disappointed and embarrassed, I don't think he was serious about saying that.I think Fury's words are often joking, even though he says it in the media, like he said he wanted to quit and leave the sport of boxing, but the fact of turning around and returning to the ring and boxing again, I'm really not sure what Fury is saying right now.

Professional boxing is a brutal career that is capable of causing the athletes severe brain damages, even death, so it's not a sport to engage in if the athletes are not physically and mentally prepared for fights.
The Professionalism innit is what brought me back; having sent hundreds of boxers (if not more) to special rooms and theatrical sections, making them yearn earnestly to living their normal lives once again and staying off the ring; some are usually lucky to breath without aids, other cases are so severe that even if the person takes a different shape, behavior and unchanging effects like brain damage and Amnesia are inevitable.Can go on and on in mentioning; epilepsy, cancer, heart disease (due to some certain type of punches) etc. Tyson fury looks weak to me -- cool that he's got an intimidating height, but that doesn't count as much in a ring where the fighter is short and muscular; especially if he's got a black, tough skin.....
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 honestly dunno how you'd look at this but I'm sorry, fury doesn't look like he's got much of him left to sustain a Career in a ring. The attempt may have been triggered by whatever personals we do not know, be he sure came back to refill his pockets a little bit before reaffirming the decision. He's 36, so not that old for the heavyweight, he could potentially have a couple of more fights in him.
I feel like this really happened at the right time; let the man take a break and relax his weary limbs after the several years of a legacy well built.

I don't know if it's an ego thing, money, or they still feel good but something drives them back into the ring. Fury is like 34-2 which is pretty impressive, I'm sure he will be back again. Maybe if all he did was lose he would stay retired, but guy can fight.
Eddie Hearn sets retirement U-turn deadline for Tyson Fury to FINALLY fight Anthony Joshua this summer
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-14293149/Eddie-Hearn-sets-retirement-U-turn-deadline-Tyson-Fury-FINALLY-fight-Anthony-Joshua-summer.html
So, as expected, Eddie Hearn is not accepting Fury's retirement announcement and keeps pushing to make the Fury Vs AJ happen. I hope he succeeds.
Although if the fight is to take place this summer at Wembley, Tyson will have to change his mind very soon, as booking venue and organising such event always require a lot of time.
Obviously it won't be as exciting as when both were at the top, but I'd still be happy to watch it. Plus, the winner will have his chance to return to the top.
clearly, Eddie Hearn wants money and could care less about Tyson Fury, I am sure if this fight happens he'll get a lot of bucks from it. anyway, I may be called a "not a true boxing fan" but let the guy rest(Tyson), as much as I want to see him fight, let him have his time, clearly his two losses to Usyk(which happened in the same year btw) affected him enough that he decided to retire. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-14293149/Eddie-Hearn-sets-retirement-U-turn-deadline-Tyson-Fury-FINALLY-fight-Anthony-Joshua-summer.html

I think for a British boxing fan, this is still going to be exciting. They have been waiting for this kind of fight for years, and so it's just about time that Fury chance his mind and have this fight not just for Brits, but for us.
For sure it's going to be a sell-out tickets in Wembley in just matter of hours if the fight is announce.
So let's hope that Fury will consider this fight and then he retire again.

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.
Tyson Fury is not the best, but he is among the best boxers around. Yes, it is not yet time for Tyson Fury to put an end to his professional boxing career because he still needs to fight with Anthony Joshua before he can retire from boxing, but since he lost to Usyk on two occasions, I believe that is the reason why he decided to retire from boxing to avoid more defeats. But since this is not the first time Tyson Fury has retired from boxing, we should not be worried about him retiring from boxing because if he sees a mega contract that will fetch him a huge amount of money, he will come out of retirement and sign the contract since he is more concerned with taking huge money in his boxing matches. 
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's only losses is against Usyk. So I do not understand when you says that he has losing fights, he was chasing fights against some of the best that time and wasn't able to do so, like against another British boxer in David Haye. Although he didn't give Wladimir Klitschko a rematch and just decided to retire.
It could be an excuse, but if you have massive money in the banks and if you think that you have did everything, then maybe it's time for him to retire.
Although there are a lot of speculations that he will make comeback and then fight Anthony Joshua for another huge payday.

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.
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.
for a professional boxer this is already a serious age.He started boxing at 18 and if I'm not mistaken he had more than 70 fights in both the amateur and professional leagues in total. The loads and training and of course injuries will make themselves known earlier than with an ordinary person, that's the whole problem.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.
Sometimes it is better for boxer to retire in time even with losses at the end of his career and leave behind a good impression and the love of fans than to continue losing and fighting only for money.
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.

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.

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

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. Usyk has proven himself against Fury, the money for Usyk is elsewhere now.
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.

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

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.

Yes, this age is not bad for retirement but some boxers reach the age of 40 years before thinking of retirement.

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.

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
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.

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.Whether it's a thought-through decision, or just his current mood - I don't know.

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.

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.

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".
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.
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

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.

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.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLoijJ5-7x8&pp=ygUVdHlzb24gZnVyeSByZXRpcmVtZW50

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

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

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.

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 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.
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.

Yeah, it’s the thing about them, they could always come out of retirement anytime, hit the gym, get the internet all buzzing for a showdown and next thing you know, it’s happening, they’ve got a match fixed.
It’s all a business strategy for them and one means to catch up on debt and they do. Fans are always looking out to buy ticket to watch a legend try to show his still got it. Thought through decision or not, I don’t think he’s fighting days in the ring is over, he would be back at it when he needs it.

The 36-year-old Fury previously announced his retirement after beating Dillian Whyte in April 2022 but returned six months later.
I will take him seriously only after six months when he doesn't return.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.
Sadly the much anticipated fight between him and Anthony Joshua will no longer hold. Good luck to him in his future projects.
We have to wait for a few more months to see if Fury really lost his passion. Knowing Fury, he is all talk, and so proud of himself, there will be a moment of thinking that he still has it. Fighters like Fury want to redeem themselves; I'm sure the passion and the heart are still there because he believes that he won in his last fight against Usyk.
Time will tell if he really had enough and if it is time for him to retire for good. If he really wants it, that's a great career to speak of; he made a lot of money and had great fights that people really enjoyed watching.

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 did make a post about this on the Boxing speculation thread, and I agree with what you said as well. Another reason is that he's nowhere near his prime years already, and I don't think that he can even fight for a world title knowing that he got defeated by Usyk who currently is holding 3 titles TWICE.
I guess it's just good that he defeated the heavy hitter Wilder twice a few years ago, but Usyk is on a different level. He might be small compared to other heavyweights out there, but he's agile as well. As for Fury, he did retire in 2022 after defeating Whyte, and came back a few months ago, and because of that, I have this thing back in my mind that he might come out of retirement soon as well and will fight for a world title if he feels he can. Of course, there would be some negotiations here and there, but if he feels he can, he will come out.
For the meantime, let's just congratulate Fury for his superb career.

Two factors usually bring back sportsmen who have retired back to the game: Money or Passion. For Tyson Fury, he has made so much money from a successful career (although I don't know his current financial position). Maybe it was the passion that brought him back after he announced his retirement in 2022. We have been having fights with older boxers, so I don't think his age is a barrier. Maybe he has checked his mental and physical strength and concluded that it's time to leave the ring. Sadly the much anticipated fight between him and Anthony Joshua will no longer hold.

Maybe he just decide that he need to take a break after those bad defeat he got from Usyk and this is actually what he need to do to recover back. For sure there's huge chance that Fury will came back chasing for at least more fight since for sure he know that he can do more better next time when he step on the ring again.
He's been into mental depression before and I guess it hit him hard badly this time https://sidekickboxing.co.uk/concerns-to-mental-health-of-tyson-fury-if-he-losses-the-rematch-to-uysk/
Guess let see what will happen in future if he decide to retire forever and let everything pass by.

The retirement is premature. He did better on his last fight against Usyk than Dubois and Joshua's performance against Usyk.
I don't think he wants the boxing community to remember him losing two successive fights; he still has one or two great fights left in him, and he will realize this on his retirement time when he knows that he can still fight.
I'm sure there will be a call for him to comeback, and people want to see who is the greatest British heavyweight champion; he still has a claim on that title.
People want to see him fight Joshua and Dubois to claim that title as the greatest British heavyweight of this generation.

I will take him seriously only after six months when he doesn't return. At the moment, it can be his emotions speaking. However, if this is true, then I like that he is doing this with less records of defeat under his belt. This is the honourable thing in my estimation that Anthony Joshua should have done but he wants to keep trying until the record of his losses will be more than his wins and he will be remembered only for the number of matches he lost. Quote
Fury doesn't want the fight, there's nothing you can do. You can't drag him into the fight. I don't know whether this was a move to stop the flow of pressure because with AJ calling him out, pressure is mounting. It could be the start of a great build-up, great mind games or it could be the end of Tyson Fury's career
I know that AJ wants a fight with Fury but he should sit it out. I have lost confidence in AJ. I do not mean that he is not good anymore but in my estimation if AJ goes into a fight with Fury, he is going to lose. So he should even consider it that Fury has saved him that embarrassment. 
Yes, he is still young but not strong enough to win against other boxers at his level. We can say that his name can't be forgotten too easily, as he showed some of the best fights of his boxing career but also reminded us that it cannot be like 10 or 5 years ago.
The time has come that his strength and power put an end. And retiring is the best option rather than forcing himself to the limit that might ruin his life and reputation. What he has done is enough; I think he could be proud of it.

Well this is not the first time Tyson Fury is announcing his retirement he did it in 2013, 2015, and twice in 2022, each time returning to the ring to fight, so for me I really Don't take him serious on this announcement, if he had won Usyk in the rematch I don't think he will be talking about retirement so I just see his frustrated about losing to Usyk in the rematch that was why he came out to say his retiring from boxing, I strongly believe he will come back again and it will happen this same year, he was suppose to have a fight with Anthony Joshua this summer right now no body knows if the fight will still happen, but i still believe it will happen, Tyson Fury has won Anthony Joshua before so he won't see Anthony Joshua winning him, so for that he will come back again in other to win, however if he suspect he will be defeated by Anthony Joshua he won't fight will him, since he has announced his retirement if his coming back to fight again he will love to fight with someone he knows very well he can win,
however if maybe Tyson Fury has really decided to retire truly which I still find it hard to believe, then is fine, he has achieved a lot, he has heard many heavyweight titles.

This is not the first time that Tyson Fury, will announce his retirement and I wouldn't be surprised if he makes a comeback to the sport that has given him so much fame and fortune. Athletes in sports like boxing really need to take long breaks sometimes because they work very hard and the game is very dangerous, but the break might mean retirement for some. They will get bored eventually and make a comeback either for the money or being in the spotlight again. I believe that Fury, still got some fights in him and will most probably change his mind and come back fresher for some more professional fights. 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 does it simply because he wants to make more money, but it's normal when you know that you won't be at high levels for a long time anymore, you always try to put on a show as much as possible and make everything a show, it's well known now that he can't stay in the ring for long anymore and therefore he decided to make money

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.

Oleksandr Usyk successfully retains WBA (Super), WBO and WBC heavyweight world titles against Tyson Fury in Riyadh
That was last December 2024. But i think Fight number 3 is a good one for this.
Seriously? I did not know there has been a rematch between Fury and Usyk. This is the first time I am hearing about it. I guess my work has made me forgot about it. I could have note the date and not forget. I missed the match and I missed the bet. But it is nothing though. Usyk is better than Fury. You can easily know with the fight between Joshua and Usyk, Fury and Ngannou, Joshua and Ngannou. Oleksandr Usyk successfully retains WBA (Super), WBO and WBC heavyweight world titles against Tyson Fury in Riyadh
That was last December 2024. But i think Fight number 3 is a good one for this.
I don't know if this is serious or what as others have said, he has history already of announcing his retirement and then after months he will go back again. Maybe what he needs is to just rest and clear his mind of his doubts and fears specially the two losses he suffered.
So I will not take this seriously. On the other hand, he might be looking for a fight with Joshua in the future.
And talking about retirement, Wilder is not done yet, when we thought that the knockout he suffered against Zhang is the end of his career, he will have a fight this April against Curtis Harper.

If i am not mistaken rumoured Tyson Fury scheduled will met Anthony Joshua on this year even Joshua promoter has been attempts to make it happen and i think if this really happen then it could be an epic fight and it's hard to predict who will win this fight but unfortunately he has decide to retire but Tyson Fury has reach his peak of career so he almost won everything as a boxer so he will be retired as a legend and everybody will be remember about that but as we all know that this is not the first time that he announced he would retire so let's see if he really retired or will come back to fight in the next few month

So let him retire. As a fighter, he's not interesting anymore. Well, age suggests that it's time to end your career.
Apparently you missed the fight that already took place. Tyson Fury lost, and I lost my bet with him. Usyk defended his titles. Well, I wouldn't call the fight itself particularly interesting. In fact, everything is the same as last time.
Is there something that I am missing? I thought there supposed to be a rematch between him and Usyk? I thought there was a time it was announced that there would be a rematch between these two heavyweight championships. I still think Usyk is the best and I am ready to bet on him again but instead, I saw this disappointing news.
If he has retired or not, he has been one of the best boxers in the world but I think the retirement is early than expected. It would be good if he started to fight again.

I am surprised but I fully accept his wish to retire and think this is the right thing to do. It is best to retire when you start to feel you are no in prime and leave when peak for is over. All this has happened with Fury. 3 last fights he has lost in a row (even though he won against Ngannou). 3 last fights brought him good money. He already has a long career, 17 years in professional boxing. He has already achieved a lot and made his name legendary. So it was a right decision to retire. It is not necessary to turn into Derek Chisora
We can wait for the next thing that will happen to him as I don't thinks that is not a serious decision. He still not old for the heavyweight so he can come back and have more fight.
Maybe that is related to his failed attempt of winning but no one will know what is in his minds. So we can only waits and see if that is his final decision. Well, if he really retired as a boxer, he can do many things or he can do what Mike Tyson before so he can still earn money

Isn't it surprising and some people think it like prank but some people think it serious that Fury really chose this decision carefully, there are news media that state one of the reasons Fury made this decision was because he felt cheated in the fight against Usyk and for me reason like this is not worthy reason for the decision to stop and retire from boxing.
I am wondering how he felt cheated. Like, did the fight not happen twice? Is he trying to discredit Usyk's effort? He is a man and should be able to deal with defeats. Accepting defeats is a part of the process of bouncing back from one; not wanting to accept defeat does not help the process. If that actually was his reason for retiring, although the decision is a personal decision for him to make, I think it's a pretty lame one.so far, although there is possibility that he will return later.
If Mike Tyson could be in the ring to fight again after so many years, nothing is impossible with Fury.

You are also right that at his current age, Fury can actually still do some fights and even do rematch against Usyk, but yes everything is clear and Fury prefers to leave what he has built and obtained so far, although there is possibility that he will return later.

That was last December 2024. But i think Fight number 3 is a good one for this.
Tyson fury can go back at the ring as he also retired before and made a comeback.
I think his decision makes sense, it’s an admission of defeat, but he’s already accomplished so much in his career. He’ll still be remembered as one of the greats in boxing.
Unlike Wilder, who, even though it’s clear he’s not the same as before, keeps fighting, and most of the time, the results haven’t been in his favor. It feels like he’s fighting more for the money than the competition, and it’s starting to show like he’s not putting in the same effort in training anymore.

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.
At a point in life people need to retire, No king reigns forever. At this point he need to rest and maintain his prestige, you know the beauty of personality is when it's highly respected and never to fall to the ground. I read about a story that says "A good dancer knows when to leave the stage" and this means there is limit to what we do in other not to outperform our ourselves, by not allowing our dignity to be rub in the mud. In summary it's right time for him to retire. 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.
Thats the problem with some retired boxers who still playing after retirement. Its not only him but a lot of boxers still doing some matches some are exhibition game but not titled just for the sake of money. Of course no one will refuse an offer even youre retired and if its a good money.Well nothing new here but I guess boxers should not allow themselves to be tied up in money.

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.
Many athletes do this. They think they are done with the sport after achieving almost everything but later down the line gets bored and miss what it feels to be back in the ring again. You can't really blame them because all their life it is what they have done and that is their passion and I think it is hard to get the athlete away from the sport and find another passion for him when he has given his all for that one sport.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.

I think one of the biggest hardship is an athlete accepting his time has passed. If an athlete is able to walk away with his head held high that is classy and will be remembered. But if he tries to keep going and just end up losing, it is all people are going to talk about instead of his greatest moments. So it is better for him to really hang the gloves.

Yes, as I have said in the previous thread, this is not the first time that he declared his retirement and then boxing fans feels bad about it. But then we goes back again, and become the heavyweight champion. And it added the mystique on his name and held the belt for a couple of years more before going 0-2 against Usyk.
So we don't know what he is pulling this kind of stunt, and so it's hard to say if this is for real or Fury again playing with us and his fans. Although if you look at it, he is settled in life already with his winnings from boxing.
There is still the biggest fight, all British showdown with Anthony Joshua, so I think he will make this as his "comeback" fight.
This isn't the first time that Tyson is retiring from boxing though, He has retired countless times in the past only for him to return back to boxing.I think the guy feels bad over his constant fights loss with this Usyk guy which might have dealt with his self confidence and fighting prowess or it could be depression.
Although nobody knows why he's been acting that way.I feel like He's getting scared and he feels defeated.Then he should take a long break to rewind and unwind with & for himself.
In the Usyk fight, there are boxing pundits who says that Tyson Fury is afraid of Usyk. And they could be right as his body language is very different specially the first time and he delay the fight itself. But now, we know that it's obvious, because he wasn't able to take his revenge and probably that's why he wants to retire and doesn't want to fight anymore. Although as fans, we might be robbed of not seeing a fight between him and AJ. 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.

He's 36, so not that old for the heavyweight, he could potentially have a couple of more fights in him.

Oh well, he has retired and unretired many times in his career, and so we don't know if he is serious enough that he will quit for good. There were one interview of him saying that boxing is like a drugs that it is addicted. That's why he has make a comeback in the beginning of his career, and then un-retire in 2022. He has fought the best in this division though, so we give him credit for that, but he lost to Usyk twice that might haunt him and will damage his legacy as one of the best in this era.
But if he is serious then good for him. He can't complain on what boxing has brought into his life, fame, glory, money admiration. But just like any things around the world and in boxing, Father time is undefeated. And so this might be the reason why he wants to retire for good, his body can't take the physical toll, specially that round 9 in his first fight with Usyk.

Is there something that I am missing? I thought there supposed to be a rematch between him and Usyk? I thought there was a time it was announced that there would be a rematch between these two heavyweight championships. I still think Usyk is the best and I am ready to bet on him again but instead, I saw this disappointing news.
If he has retired or not, he has been one of the best boxers in the world but I think the retirement is early than expected. It would be good if he started to fight again.
