The announcement comes just some days after Eddie Hearn revealed Wembley had been reserved for Fury to fight Anthony Joshua in the summer. However, the 36-year-old Fury had previously announced his retirement on multiple occasions, with the most recent being in 2022 after beating Dillian Whyte in April but returning to the ring six months later to fight Derek Chisora in a trilogy bout at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Fury said in the video posted on his social media
"I'm going to make this short and sweet, I'd like to announce my retirement from boxing." "It's been a blast, I've loved every single minute of it and I'm going to end with this. Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everybody, see you on the other side."

Fury's retirement brings an end to a glittering career in the ring, which saw him claim WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles after ending Wladimir Klitschko's long-standing dominance in the heavyweight division with victory over the Ukrainian in 2015.

Fury retired with an impressive record of 34 victories and only two defeats, both against Usyk. The Englishman retires having never been defeated by knockout.
