Fury defended it twice

The Wythenshawe warrior seems serious as he has given up the Ring heavyweight strap.

He said to them, "The Ring Magazine Championship has always been the holy Grail of Boxing."

"They've been amazing with me, and I've always held that title with pride."

Fury, 34, has twice defended the famed Ring Magazine Heavyweight Strap - which he first claimed with a spectacular win over Deontay Wilder in February 2020.

The Brit continued to defend it in a trio with Wilder, and a Wembley battle with Dillian Whyte.

However, Fury's plans for the WBC heavyweight title are still unclear. He has spoken with the president of the Mexican sanctioning body, Mauricio Sulaiman.

Sulaiman stated: "Just finished a touching conference with Tyson Fury, who has confirmed his official retirement form boxing.

We support his decision. It is an incredible dream for any boxer to be undefeated and the WBC champion of all time. WBC Boxing will soon prepare a special farewell show.

Fury reflects on his career and says, "The greatest moment in my career was winning The World Championship back in 2015.

"There's the amazing comeback after that with three [Deontay] Wilder bouts.

"There have been many great highlights in my career, including the Dillian Whyte fight before 94,000 people at Wembley.

It doesn't get any bigger than this. "I went out with a bang."

Fury looks forward to moving to new pastures after fighting seems to be in the rearview mirror.

He said, "It was fun while I had it. It was a 14-year long career.

"I boxed for twenty years from the age of 14 to the age of 34. It's been a great experience. It was both ups and downs.

"My career was like an Indian summer that kept on giving.

"I have done well in boxing. There are many opportunities in the world now. I am currently working on a Netflix documentary.

"I will soon be recording an album. You might see me on the silverscreen, who knows?

The Ring Magazine heavyweight title is now vacant so the belt could be up for grabs next week.

If the informal sanctioning body chooses to do so they could add their prestigious title to the unified titles Anthony Joshua will be trying to fight back from Oleksandr Uzyk in Saudi Arabia next week.
