Tyson Fury announced his retirement on Instagram on Monday .
The 36-year-old boxer announced it in a video lasting barely 20 seconds .
Fury's retirement leaves a huge hole in the British sporting landscape.
He breathed life into a dormant heavyweight division, and dragged boxing back into the British mainstream.
He was unfiltered and unhinged in his remarks.
Despite its ups and downs, his career is a testament to his powers of perseverance, and his outsized personality. In the words of famous promoter Bob Arum , Fury was the most charismatic fighter since Muhammad Ali . British sport already feels emptier for his absence. Hugo Timms is an intern at spiked.
