World Heavyweight Champion, Tyson Fury, has announced he will retire from boxing after his eagerly anticipated rematch with Vladimir Klitschko in July.
The British boxer shocked the world back in November when he dethroned Ukranian legend Klitschko and the retirement has come as a surprise with future bouts against other boxing heavyweights being lined up.
Fury broke the news after watching his cousin, Hughie, claim the vacant WBO heavyweight belt.
“I’ve got two and a half stone to get off and I want to get on it,” said the WBA, WBO, IBO, and Ring Magazine heavyweight world champion.
“It’s going to be my my last fight. I think. S*** or bust. All or nothing. It’s going to be my last fight win, lose, or draw.
“I just can’t be f***** with it. I’m so sick of it. I’ve got no motivation to carry it on.”
On Sunday. Fury confirmed the news via his Twitter account.
