SPORT FROM THE JAWS OF SETS THE GASPS WERE AUDIBLE. HORROR WAS ETCHED ON THE FACES OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY AT RINGSIDE. IN HOMES AROUND THE WORLD, SUPPORTERS SCREAMED AT TV IN ANGUISH. DISASTER sevenstarmedia.co.uk 44 MAN MAGAZINE WINTER 2019
SPORT Tyson Fury had been knocked out cold. A s Fury lay unconscious on the blue canvas of LA’s Staples Center, the man many feel to be the most fearsome puncher in boxing history, Deontay Wilder, began a dance of delight. This dance would be remembered – mimicked for decades, even – following one of boxing’s all-time highlight-reel spectacular world title stoppage wins… or so Wilder clearly thought. Out of the corner of his eye, Wilder noticed Fury was achieving something impossible: he was getting up. The American’s dance lost all enthusiasm and eventually slowed to a standstill like a piston bereft of fuel. What Fury did in that ring – got up and fought on to what many feel was a resounding and glorious return to world champion status – was relatively easy, if you ask the ‘Gypsy King’ himself. Not because it actually was easy, of course, but because Fury had already overcome far greater obstacles to simply be in the position of fighting for a world title that night. It may be a boxing cliché as old as the hills but it couldn’t be more apt and there’s no better way to put it: Tyson Fury fought and won his biggest fight outside of the ring. In fact, he wins it every day. That fight is against the mental health issues that spiraled out of control in the wake of his historic dethroning of Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015. “This is coming from a man who had EVERYTHING. I had money, fame, glory, titles, a wife, a family, kids and everything… but I felt like I had nothing. There was a big gaping hole that was filled with doom and gloom. “I hit the drink and the drugs. I was out all-night partying and not coming home. I didn’t care about boxing or living – I wanted to die and have a good time doing it. When I was drunk or high, I wouldn’t think about being depressed. I’d say: ‘I’m a boxing champion and I feel great!’ When it wears off, though, it only leaves you feeling more depressed. “The common approach to depression is drink and drugs and this is where I want to spread the word because it’s the worst thing you can do.” Again, it’s a well-worn statement, but the upturn in Fury’s tale was necessitated by a fall to ‘rock bottom.’ The term is often bandied around but there’s a gravitas about Fury when he tells the tale of the day he sped willfully towards suicide. He said: “I was waking up and I didn’t want to be alive. I was making everyone’s lives a misery. Nobody could talk any sense to me and I was going very low at times. I was having all these crazy thoughts. “I bought a brand-new Ferrari in the summer of 2016. At the bottom of a five-mile strip on the highway, there’s a bridge. I was up to 190mph and heading towards that bridge. I didn’t care about anything – I just wanted to die so bad and I had given up. “As I was getting to the bridge – and the Ferrari would’ve crushed like a Coke can had I hit it – I heard a voice saying: ‘No Tyson. Don’t do this. Think of the kids and your family. Think of your little boys and girls growing up with no father and everyone saying you were a weak man who left them and took the easy way out.’ “I pulled off the motorway and I was shaking. I was nervous and so afraid. That day, I thought: ‘I’ll never try or think about taking my own life again.’ I went and got help from the leading psychiatrist in the UK. She told my Dad I was not to be trusted alone. She said I was an imminent death risk – the highest level of suicide risk.” sevenstarmedia.co.uk Fury candidly told worldrenowned podcaster Joe Rogan: “I’d suffered with mental health problems my whole life but I didn’t know what it was because I’d had no education on the matter.
