TYSON FURY has officially vacated the Ring Magazine’s heavyweight title following his latest retirement U-turn.
The Gypsy King announced on Friday that he’d decided against making a sensational return to the ring – a mere two days after coming out of retirement to face Derek Chisora.
Tyson Fury has vacated the prestigious Ring Magazine title
And the Wythenshawe warrior appears to be mean business as he’s vacated the prestigious Ring heavyweight strap.
He told them: “The Ring Magazine championship has always been the holy grail of boxing.
“They’ve been fantastic with me and I’ve always carried that title with pride.”
Fury, 33, twice won the famed Ring Magazine heavyweight strap – first claiming it in his upset victory over Wladimir Klitschko in Germany in November 2015.
The Brit reclaimed the belt in February 2020 with a stunning seventh-round TKO victory over Deontay Wilder, in which he also claimed the WBC heavyweight strap.
He recalled: “The greatest moment of my career was winning the world championship back in 2015.
“There’s the great comeback after that with the three [Deontay] Wilder fights.
“There’s been a lot of great highlights in my career – even the Dillian Whyte fight in front of 94,000 at Wembley.
“It doesn’t get much bigger than that. And I went out with a bang.”
With fighting seemingly in the rearview mirror, Fury is looking forward to moving on to pastures new.
He said: “It was fun while it lasted. I had a good 14-year career.
“I actually boxed for 20 years, from 14 to 34 years old. I’ve enjoyed it. I’ve enjoyed the ups and the downs.
“My career was an Indian summer that just kept giving.
“I’ve done well out of boxing. The world is open to so many things now. I’m doing a Netflix documentary at the moment.
“I’m going to be recording an album soon. Who knows, you might even see me on the silver screen.”
