Tyson Fury announces retirement from boxing after deadly Dillian Whyte knockout | Boxing | Sport
Tyson Fury has confirmed that it is the “final curtain for the Gypsy King” after his incredible sixth round knockout of Dillian Whyte at Wembley. Fury had already hinted at retirement after beating Deontay Wilder in May last year.
But he was enticed back into the ring for a fight against mandatory WBC challenger Whyte.
A record crowd sold out to watch the heavyweight contest in Wembley arena with over 90,000 fans in attendance.
Fury said: “You know, I promised my lovely wife Paris of 14 years that after the Wilder 3 fight that’d be it. I meant it. I got offered to Wembley at home and I believed I owed it to the fans and to every person in the United Kingdom. Now it’s all done, I have to be a man of my word and I think this is it. This might be the final curtain for the Gypsy King.”
