Tyson Fury Confirms Staying Retired After 2024 Defeats

Tyson Fury has firmly stated that he is retired and has no plans to return to boxing, dismissing rumors of a comeback fight against Anthony Joshua. Despite fans' hopes and social media clips showing him training, Fury emphasized that he has nothing left to prove and does not want to return just to get "his face punched in." His retirement follows consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, and while Joshua is rumored to be signing a two-fight deal, Fury remains uninterested in reigniting their rivalry. Additionally, Fury has urged his former rival Deontay Wilder to retire, citing the toll their brutal trilogy took on both fighters and noting that Wilder is now a shadow of his former self. However, Wilder is set to return to the ring soon despite Fury's wishes. Fury’s history of changing his mind about retirement means some fans remain skeptical about his current stance, but his latest statements make clear he intends to stay retired for now.
