The 36-year-old previously announced his retirement after beating Dillian Whyte in April 2022 but returned six months later.
The Briton enjoyed two stints as heavyweight champion and retires with a record of 34 wins, two defeats and one draw.
“Hi everybody, I’m going to make this short and sweet,” Fury said.
“I’d like to announce my retirement from boxing, it has been a blast, I’ve loved every single minute of it and I’m going to end with this; Dick Turpin wore a mask.”
