The Gypsy King, Tyson Fury, announces his retirement. A career marked by memorable fights, personal challenges and a unique style.
Tyson Fury, alias le « Gypsy King », decided to hang up his gloves. At 36, after a legendary career and fights that will go down in boxing history, Fury chose to end his career. This is not the first time he has spoken about retirement, but this announcement seems different, almost definitive.
In a video shared on his social media, Fury said:
“Hey everyone, I’m going to keep this short and sweet. I would like to announce my retirement from boxing. It’s been great. I loved every minute of it. I’ll finish with that. Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everyone. See you on the other side. »
The Gypsy King, a man apart
Fury was more than a boxer. He was a character. He talked a lot, sometimes too much, but he always took responsibility for his words. He went through personal trials, dark moments, but he came back, stronger each time. For him, boxing was not just a sportit was a way to prove something, to show that we could fall and get up again.
His two recent defeats against Oleksandr Usyk, including the last by unanimous decision in December 2024, may have been the sign he was looking for. Fury always wanted to leave before the sport caught up with him. He always said he wanted to leave the ring as a champion, with his head held high.
Tyson Fury : A legend that takes his retirement
That Tyson Fury leaves behind, it’s more than a track record. These are moments. Nights where he defied expectations, where he showed that a man almost 2 meters tall could move like a middleweight. He wasn’t perfect, far from it, but that’s what made him human.
The fight against Anthony Joshuawhich we all hoped would never happen. But sometimes legends aren’t defined by what they do, but by what they leave hanging. Tyson Fury leaves with his titles, his memories, and a guaranteed place among the greatest.
So, is it really over? With him, you never know. But if that’s the case, boxing loses more than a champion. She loses a unique figure, a man who gave a different face to the heavyweights. Thank you, Gypsy King. The ring won’t be quite the same without you.
