Tyson Fury says he is retiring from boxing

British heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury says he is retiring from the sport.

The 36-year-old former world champion took to social media to say he was hanging up his gloves.

In a video posted on his Instagram account, he said: "I would 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!"

Fury previously said he was done with the sport after beating Dillian Whyte in 2022 - only to return at the end of the year.

It comes amid speculation over planned bouts for Fury later this year, following his rematch defeat to reigning heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk in December.

Just two days ago, Sky Sports News reported Wembley had been reserved for Fury to fight Anthony Joshua in the summer.
