Although the ring announcer Michael Buffer talked about considering retiring from his job, he hasn’t officially retired to this date.

Michael Buffer is a popular American ring announcer or MC for boxing as well as professional wrestling matches.

In his job as an announcer, Buffer is best known for his catchphrase Let’s get ready to rumble which is still an iconic sentence among the viewers.

The personality has been involved in the sector for over three decades and still announces in few high paper views matches.

However, in recent times, the audience hasn’t been able to see his masterwork with his voice on the television screens which is creating massive chaos in the public.

Michael’s fans are still wondering why the American announcer hasn’t returned to his work as his absence is hugely felt in the ring.

So, what actually happened to Michael Buffer and is he closing to his retirement?

Is Michael Buffer Retired?

No, despite his absence from the ring, Michael Buffer hasn’t officially retired from his job.

Buffer did talk about him closing to retirement last year as he is still involved in the field as a 76-year-old man.

Likewise, Sportbible also reports that the announcer once thought about retiring after he was suffering from throat cancer around a decade ago.

However, he kept going on and still continued the thing that he had the passion for and kept on rumbling.

In the process, Michael also made a ton of money as he is currently worth $400 million and might be closing on with his retirement.

But he has not made any official announcement about his retirement and still interacts from his Twitter account.

What Happened To Michael Buffer And Why Is He Not Announcing?

From the looks of it, Michael Buffer might be taking a break from his regular announcing job as he edges closer to his retirement.

As things stand, there are no reports of any serious illness or injury that has happened to Buffer in recent times.

But now he is not the same person and as energetic as he was in his earlier years.

On the other hand, he only announces in high pay per views matches in recent times as per reports and that high profile match might be yet to come.

Similarly, it is quite understandable that Michael can’t be present in every match due to his old age.

In conclusion, Michael Buffer has not revealed the exact reason why he is not announcing currently but nothing serious seems to have happened to him in recent times.

Hence, it might be a long break from his action-packed career as he might be thinking hard about his retirement.
