Tyson Fury retires describing boxing as 'a pile of s***'

Tyson Fury has announced his immediate retirement from boxing.

The 28-year-old, whose career has been mired in controversy since he unexpectedly defeated Wladimir Klitschko for the IBF, WBO and WBA heavyweight titles, dismissed the sport as "a pile of s***" and "the saddest thing I ever took part in" in a post on his Twitter account on Monday afternoon.
