The boxing world was handed a shock on Monday when former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury announced his retirement from the sport … again. In a 17-second video posted on Instagram, Fury said: “Hi everybody, I’ll make this short and sweet, I’d like to announce my retirement from boxing. “It’s been a blast and I’ve loved every single minute of it. I’m going to end with this: Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everybody, I’ll see you on the other side.” Dick Turpin was an English robber and highwayman whose criminal activities gained him notoriety in the early eighteenth century. It’s unclear what Fury was implying with the reference. The 36-year-old’s announcement came just weeks after he lost his highly-anticipated rematch against Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk for the WBA, WBC and WBO world titles. The Ukrainian won that fight 116-112 on all three of the judges’ scorecards – much to the displeasure of the Fury camp.
