Former world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury has said that his latest decision to retire from boxing is final and that he has no reason to return to the ring, even if he is offered a billion pounds, British media reported.
The 37-year-old boxer hasn’t fought since losing a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk in December 2024, and it’s official announced its withdrawal in January of this year. Despite speculation about a possible trilogy fight with Usik or a potential British fight against Anthony Joshua, as well as claims by promoter Frank Warren that Fury could return in 2026, he insists the decision is final.
There’s no real reason for me to get back into the boxing ring. I’m 37 years old, I’ve been defeated for the last 25 years, why would i want to go back to boxing?said Fury for the channel “FurociTV”.
It used to be about money and titles, but now I have more money than I can spend, unlimited belts and titles. Does that make me happy? No. The quest was better than the victory itselfFury added.
Fury previously announced withdrawal in April 2022., after defeating Dillian Whyte, but returned six months later to face Derek Chisora. This time, however, he insists that he will not return.
I can go back to boxing at any time, but I just don’t want to. You could tell me today offer a billion pounds and it wouldn’t change anything. “I’m past the point where I don’t care what other people think,” Fury said.
Boxing forgives no one, it only requires sacrifices. To me, success is winning all your belts, making a lot of money and coming out of it unscathed. But I don’t want to tempt fate. How many times can you go back before you get a brain injury or something worse?.
