Tyson Fury retires from boxing again after short-lived comeback

Tyson Fury has decided to walk away from boxing, only three days after saying he was returning to the sport.

Fury turned 34 yesterday and posted a message on social media saying he has decided to walk away.

That seemingly puts Fury back into retirement, after he announced on Tuesday that he was returning to boxing in order to set up a fight against Derek Chisora, a fellow Briton whom he beat twice early in his career.

That announcement had sparked speculation that Fury, the reigning WBC heavyweight champion, was targeting a possible unification bout against the winner between Oleksandr Usyk, the reigning WBA, IBF and WBO title-holder, and Anthony Joshua, who are fighting on August 20 in Saudi Arabia.

Fury did not give a reason for his apparent change of heart.
