Boxer Tyson Fury has claimed that he is quitting the sport after becoming disillusioned by it.

According to the Mirror, Fury, 25, was gutted when David Haye pulled the plug for a second and final time on their planned heavyweight clash on February 8.

The unbeaten former British champ tweeted that he had officially retired from boxing as there were too many bent people in the sport and they would have to f*** someone else.

Fury is 21-0 with 15 stoppages and his promoter Mick Hennessy believes he can be talked round because he feels he is destined to be world champion, the report said.

He claims Fury's tweet shows how devastated he is at being let down by Haye again, the report added.
