Tyson Fury officially retires from boxing

Three weeks after coming up short against Oleksandr Usyk for the second straight time, Tyson Fury has announced his retirement from boxing.

'The Gypsy King' is considered one of the greatest of his generation but has decided to hang up the gloves at the age of 36. Despite losing both times to Usyk, the Brit believes he should still be undefeated and claims the judges got it wrong on both occasions. 

Instead of clawing his way back to a trilogy fight with Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury has decided to call it a career—one he can be extremely proud of.

"Thanks, it's been a blast," Fury's social media caption stated. Thanks to everyone who helped out along the way!"

"Happy New Year. Jesus is king. Now and forever."

To announce his retirement, Tyson Fury shared a short video thanking fans for their support over the years.

"Hi everybody, 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."
