Boxing fans are questioning whether they’ve seen the last of Tyson Fury after he announced his retirement from the sport.
Fury posted a video on social media Monday saying he’s walking away from the sport.
The announcement comes as a long-rumored bout between the 36-year-old and Anthony Joshua began to gain steam again. He also said he was retiring in 2022, only to extend his career.
Not surprisingly, there’s plenty of skepticism about whether this retirement will stick:

Load of bollocks, just pricing himself up for the AJ fight. ‘If I come out of retirement for the 18th time it needs to be for £100m’
Packer M @Packer_an
So he retires without fighting AJ ???? ???? ????
Simon @SG_EFC
Joshua tells him the public want to see the fight.. Fury response is to retire, which actually means going to have to pay me more money if you want me to fight.. ????
Mike…nffc @nffcalways1
-No chance he’s retiring (even though he should) it’s all about the show and remaining in the media spotlight
Rob ???? @ManWolfNYC
He’ll be back like always lol
Mike Crisp @mike82chips
