Tyson Fury, a two-time heavyweight world champion, has declared his retirement from the sport.
The British said that he would stop boxing when he turned 34 in a post on his social media profile on Saturday.
Three days after Fury declared he will be fighting again, the announcement has been made.
Fury in the post on his social media page wrote, “Massive thanks to everyone who had an input in my career over the years & after long hard conversations (I’ve) finally decided to walk away & on my 34th birthday I say bon voyage.”

Fury said that he would retire after his fight with Dillian Whyte in April at Wembley Stadium in London.
The British remarked, “I think this is it,” following his sixth-round knockout victory over Whyte on April 23.
Fury had previously declared his intention to return to the ring on Tuesday.
The boxer had expressed interest in facing Derek Chisora in a video on Instagram.
Fury said, “You’re running, Derek, from the trilogy, you call yourself war, you should call yourself a chicken. I’ve decided to come back to boxing because I can be the first heavyweight world champion in history to have two trilogies. I’d always say I’d fight Derek Chisora at the end of my career.”
There was no agreement in place for a third battle between the two boxers because he had already beaten Chisora twice.
