The boxing world was handed a shock on Monday when former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury announced his retirement from the sport … again.

Fury is one of the best fighters of his generation, reaching boxing's pinnacle as a heavyweight, but skeptics wonder whether this will stick

Fury has claimed to be retiring from the sport on several prior occasions, most notably in April 2022 after he knocked out Dillian Whyte in the sixth round at Wembley Stadium to retain his WBC heavyweight title. That retirement lasted just a few months though, and by the late summer, Fury already was calling out British rival Anthony Joshua again.
