Tyson Fury appears to announce his boxing retirement again: "Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. THE END"

Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury appeared to announce his retirement on Wednesday.

The 28-year-old has retired previously in October 2016, only to then reverse his decision.

This time he spoke of an "epic journey" reaching "the end".

Fury wrote on Instagram: "been very blessed in my life & career achieve the upmost in boxing, was a epic journey along the way. Thanks to all the fans that supported & believed in me along the way,

"Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. THE END."

Fury has not fought since beating Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko to become world champion in November 2015, subsequently pulling out of a rematch twice.

He vacated his WBO and WBA belts last year, revealing he was seeking medical help, after telling Rolling Stone magazine that he had taken cocaine to help his depression.

Fury has most recently been training in Marbella. In an interview with Telegraph Sport's Gareth A Davies, he spoke about the prospect of fighting Anthony Joshua next year.
