Tyson Fury announced his retirement video on social media on Monday .

Fury had not told his manager Spencer Brown of his intention, despite speaking to him the previous day .

Fury's last retirement was in 2022 , after he stopped Dillian Whyte at Wembley .

Carl Froch , Tony Bellew , Barry Jones and Carl Frampton have questioned the veracity of the news.

The video itself was cryptic, making reference to infamous highwayman Dick Turpin .

Lee and Brown both describe Fury as the premier "character" in boxing and praised him for everything he has overcome. Brown says his long-time friend has been "marvellous" for the sport and will go down as one of the best. "Possibly the craziest story ever in boxing," Brown said. "Without him, it's going to be a very quiet place. Who is going to fill the void? I don't think you can, can you?".
