Tyson Fury claims he’s calling it quits from boxing for good.
A week before the highly anticipated Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk rematch, Fury announces via social media that he was retiring from boxing on his 34th birthday.

Just a week ago, Fury claimed that he was coming back to boxing to fight Derek Chisora.
“I’ve decided to come back to boxing because I can be the first heavyweight champion in history to have two trilogies – one with Deontay Wilder and a second one with Derek Chisora,”
“I always said I’d fight Derek Chisora at the end of my career, and here we are breaking all records again, setting precedents.”
Of course, Fury could change his mind depending on the result of the Usyk-Joshua fight next week.
