January 13th 2025.
On Monday, Tyson Fury caused quite a stir with his unexpected comments. The renowned boxer announced his retirement from the sport in a rather dramatic way, leaving the boxing world in shock. Fury, also known as the Gypsy King, has recently suffered two consecutive losses against Oleksandr Usyk and it seems like he has decided to hang up his gloves for good. This decision was confirmed through a video posted on his Instagram account.
However, there is some speculation about whether Fury will actually stay retired, as he has made similar claims in the past only to return to the ring. But what caught everyone's attention was Fury's peculiar comment in the video, where he said, "Dick Turpin wore a mask." This phrase immediately sparked curiosity and raised questions about its hidden meaning.
For those who may not know, Dick Turpin was a notorious highwayman in the 18th century who was executed at a young age of 33. He was known for his masked robberies and killings, and his name has been immortalized in history through various works of literature. Fury's use of this phrase suggests that someone has tried to hide their identity while committing a wrongdoing, much like Turpin did.
It is unclear what exactly Fury is alluding to with this comment, but it is likely that he is implying that he was robbed in one or both of his fights against Usyk. Despite believing that he won both matches, Fury ended up losing by split decision in May and unanimous decision in December. He has always been vocal about his belief in winning these fights, but there was no significant outcry about any unfairness from outside his camp.
After his December defeat, Fury had expressed his disappointment, saying that he felt hard done by the decision. He also mentioned that he believes he won both fights and that he thinks Usyk received a "Christmas gift." Fury's remarks suggest that he may have been denied a fair victory, but he also acknowledged that it was not Usyk's fault.
Fury's retirement has also affected the highly anticipated match between him and Anthony Joshua, which was supposed to take place this year. Joshua had previously stated that the fight with Fury has to happen in 2025, and it seems like it may not happen now. However, Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, believes that Fury's retirement announcement is just a tactic to negotiate for a bigger payout for the potential fight.
Hearn also shared his belief that Fury will eventually return to the ring, as he will not be able to resist the urge to fight again. He is confident that the British public is eager to see the fight between Fury and Joshua and that Fury will eventually come out of retirement for it. Only time will tell what Fury's true intentions are, but his retirement certainly adds an interesting twist to the world of boxing.
