Is Tyson Fury really retired? | The Sun

TYSON FURY is one of the greatest heavyweights of his era in boxing.

The Gyspy King is a two-time world champion and the current holder of the WBC title in boxing's glamour division.

But his life and career has often been a controversial one, and during his reign at the top of the heavyweight division, Fury has chosen to retire on numerous occasions.

Most famously, Fury retired after he conquered Wladimir Klitschko to win the world heavyweight titles in 2015.

But while he was away from the sport, his life spiralled as he suffered with mental health problems, as well as alcohol and drug addiction.

Then after his win over Dillian Whyte in 2022, Fury retired again before deciding to make a comeback against Derek Chisora months later.

"Boxing is something that I've loved since a little kid, so when it really felt like it was gone, I felt like a massive part of me was taken away that I wasn't ready for in that moment, mentally and physically."

And he's not letting up as he prepares for Ngannou on October 14 in Saudi Arabia.

Fury may still also one day have fights with Oleksandr Usyk, the holder of the WBA, WBO and IBF belts, and Anthony Joshua.

Negotiations for both of those fights to happen have raged on for months and years, with neither yet to come to fruition.

But don't be surprised if we eventually see them before Fury actually does retire for real.
