Tyson Fury says he doesn’t ‘give a f***’ how he’s remembered after vacating Ring belt

Tyson Fury has declared he “doesn’t really give a f***” how he is remembered after confirming he will vacate the Ring belt following his official retirement announcement. Having previously threatened to hang up his gloves, the Gypsy King appears to have definitively called time on his illustrious career after vacating a title for the very first time.

The 34-year-old bows out of boxing with an unbeaten 32-0-1 record, which includes 23 KOs and saw him claim every belt possible. Fury took to social media on Friday to announce his retirement and his statement was later confirmed by WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman.

The Brit initially hinted he would be retiring following his stoppage win over Dillian Whyte at Wembley in April, but has teased he could make a comeback, recently calling out the winner of Anthony Joshua’s upcoming rematch with Oleksandr Usyk. Fury was also thought to have come close to agreeing a deal with Derek Chisora last week, however, such talk has now been rendered redundant following his call to quit the sport.

Reiterating his stance, Fury has now vacated his Ring magazine title and following the decision, he gave an X-rated response when probed about how he hopes to be remembered. He admitted to Ring magazine: “To be honest with you, and I’ve always said, I don’t really give a f*** about what people think of me.
