It’s true. You don’t understand depression until you go through it. People do think you’re trying to be a victim. Doesn’t ever matter how much money you have and how positive you are, it can get you. So nice to hear Tyson’s story. Gives me hope.
Raj KR I’ve been through it recently and will go through it again but I am not going to give up I’ve got the loveliest sweetheart in the world and I still get depression as I have Schizo affective disorder this Man is inspiring me I am going to go to the clinic and ask for help with this problem because I cannot let my Girl down I am so lucky but when the depression hits me I don’t remember that it’s sad actually because I am grateful for the blessings in my life and He knows what He is talking about God Bless Him
Alun Davies.... I'm there w you!! I lost my job due to this thing call depression.... I never told anyone n they just didn't care for me.... I've been going on 7yrs now n till this day still have nightmares about it💀☠️👽
@kirpa k i couldnt agree more i suffer from sereve depression everyday is hard and no one understands any of it untill you have it then you will no how hard it is to cope and deal on a daily basis :)
Yep. And it doesnt even matter how you apply logic to feeling better. You just cant. Its like a girl you like and someone tells you logical things might change your mind, but you cant change how you feel just like that.
Mike Tyson never spoke his mind nor did he ever speak the truth , Mike Tyson says himself the old Mike was nuts , couldn't be honest with anyone not even himself , research my friend do your research before commenting on this sport , there's always a very well educated person in boxing that reads everything
@@undeadpresident what sport are you watching , no boxers are honest , everything is a PR job ....biggest Tyson fan right here from the same town and I can tell you now fury's doing a PR stunt lol just like the days of max baer where he needed a good public relation to become champ as he was Jewish , Joe Louis , jack Johnson , Sonny Liston , Frazier , Ali all did the same.
Incredible interview. For someone like myself who has suffered from mental health issues for over 20 years, I totally get what Fury talks about. The dark thoughts, the demons, anxiety and depression it’s one of the biggest fights a human can ever conquer and overcome.
Impossible not to like this guy. Down to earth, very funny, compassionate and highly intelligent and articulate. Would love nothing more than to see him take over the world again.
Intelligence is a curious phenomenon, Muhammed Ali was an uneducated genius, the US Army had to lower the standard to 'capture' him in the conscription net. I wouldn't agree that Tyson is articulate, his grammar has much to improve upon.
@Daniel I didn't 'say' he was an ignoramus, I just 'said' that he wasn't articulate. Being articulate require verbal prescision. If I referred to him as an ignoramus I wouldn't be very articulate either, because he does have a gifted persona. An ignoramus would be an unremarkable individual of low intelligence.
@@harryzero1566 articulation is the ability to express yourself and concepts clearly. Your grammar has nothing to do with it. Many grammar perfect people couldn't express themselves and their condition as well as Tyson.
He speaks like nobody else in sports today. The man is brave and says it like it is. Truly motivating from a big man. Hope and believe he kicks wilders ass. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Tyson is so strong to be able to talk about this in front of the world! I am an ex boxer diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and also suffer from mental health poroblems, this is true inspiration for me.
It gets better brother. Coming from a fellow marine veteran you are not alone. You will never be alone. Never give up brother even though I’ve never met you just know I’m praying and pulling for you. God bless.
How is he the peoples champ exactly mate. Won the belt and never defended once. That ain't a champion mate. And he says he's gonna retire after this fight. How's that a champion. Fuk off mate
And later will be 36 mins of master boxing. For me boxing is first and I like wilder but his skill is undeniable. What he did to chisora the 2nd fight no man has done to chisora. Haye koed him. Tyson made him quit.
Oh my God! (And I'm an Atheist) Most honest sports or even non-sports interview ever. Tyson Fury will never know how many lives he saved with this one interview. Thank you eternally my friend.
Never had a sporting hero growing up. Thought it was stupid to idolize a sportsman. Now i have one, feel like me and Tyson are on a journey of recovery together.
I suffer from being bi-polar and depression. I totally relate to this video. I cried the whole time that someone understood where I have been and where I am now. I have been in that dark whole....it's horrible. This interview has given me hope that I can get better. I am extremely popular and full of life....that's my public persona. At home I cry often, sleep late and apathetic. this video makes me feel like I can come alive again. Thanks Tyson,for sharing.
From what you just said, I believe you might enjoy my book Champion (on Amazon and the "Boxing Movie /Book Trailer" on my youtube channel Miles Cobbett :)
I love you tyson fury. Ive suffered from depression since a child now going through anxiety. Youve helped me so much. Keep winning tyson and get that belt of wilder and make ppl like me PROUD
He's a good man for being so honest and raising awareness of this important issue. As a person thats suffered from anxiety-obviously I can say Im in good company now, nothing to be ashamed of. This is bloody important. No one would be ashamed of a broken leg. No one should be ashamed of mental health issues. This man knocks out professional boxers at the highest level for a living. Anxiety issues and mental health issues do not discriminate who they affect. This man is helping to remove the stigma. More people will get help and support. Personally in the most part Ive dealt with my issue alone. Its been tough and cost me diamonds but Im still here and at least physically strong to fight another day. Thats the main thing. There's always hope. Awareness is a major key. Tyson Fury is spreading awareness. A champ in every sense of the word.
Tyson is a real one literally everything he said about anxiety and mental health happened to me it's terrible and its outrageous that its not talked about much in the media and just everyday life much respect for this man he's talking about mental health more than the fight its self ! it can happen to anybody and everybody just know your not alone like Tyson said very well explained to.
antonio castaneda Listen brother I went thru it everything he talked about it. My family used to tell em depression and anxiety are girly problems and I used to fight within and I went to a very dark path. Only praying and working out used to make me feel better. It still creeps up on me from time to time. Always go running when you feel like that shit don’t worry about the time
@antonio Castaneda- Yep, I totally agree. It's obvious he's being real about it when he's describing the finer details of depression/anxiety disorder, only one who has suffered from this shit would understand.
Watching Tyson Fury's thoughtful and very touching interview broke and opened my heart from how he has shared his experience and made them public he is breaking /'smashing' the stigma of mental health .I am touched by how he is helping so many people going through depression and many other mental health issues. listening to Fury on here has helped me immensely . I'm now a huge fan and will be watching Tyson Fury box in the near future …Congratulations to Fury on his two recent victories , one his recent boxing match and the other on having his health back….
Met Tyson at a meet and greet in Birmingham just after he beat Wlad for the Belts. He stopped and had a chat and shook my hand very down to earth guy. Right there and then he was going through this and he still put on a great show for the fans there that night. So glad he is back in track. Hope he stays on track. Respect big man !
I can relate to everything Tyson just said, I started getting anxiety at 23 years old over a heart condition I discovered I had whilst on duty at work, it was a mild condition and is very common and unlikely to harm me, but it still made me convinced I was going to die on a daily basis and made myself worse with the heart racing and chest pains and struggled with this anxiety and depression for many months to then almost killing myself.. I then got a new job and started training and life got much better beat the anxiety for a good 6 years and life was good. Now I'm 29 and I've recently got myself back into that dark hole again and I've made myself physically ill by messing up my digestive system (low stomach acid production) because of the anxiety and also caused my gut to become out of balance and now I'm fighting everyday to become physically and mentally well again but it's the toughest fight of my life this time I'm 4 months into this fight and I'm praying and fighting for that light at the end of the tunnel. God bless everyone out there struggling and fighting.
I love this man. What a great interview. I've suffered from depression for years. It's so great to listen to someone who understands and has such good advice. What an inspiration Tyson is.
Man this was as real as it gets... Much respect to Furry... I'm a fan of him and Deontay and may the best man win... At least they got the balls to fight each other
Lol @ the implied attack on Joshua, who has fought better competition than the two of them combined. Not Joshuas fault Fury disappeared for 2+ years to avoid rematching Wlad and having a drug test, also not his fault Wilders managers are stalling because they want to manuever Wilder into a better bargaining position instead of sending him to London where the refs and judges cant be controlled and only getting a 30/70 split.
@@devondowning3935 Joshua stepped up to Wlad in only his 19th fight, hes been in there with Povetkin, Whyte, Parker and Breazele (all top 10 HWs) already and had signed to fight at the time top 5 ranked Pulev too and hes only 22 fights into his career. The guy is fighting tougher opposition than anyone in the HW division by far, hes about 3 solid wins off being an all time great HW. So I dont buy into the notion that hes scared or protected for one second because hes already taken tons of risks. Wilder on the other hand has the record of a protected fighter, even taking this Fury fight looks like a calculated move from Wilders team due to Furys inactivity and how poor he looked in his tune up fights.
@@ministryOFmuff I actually think Fury gonna win... Joshua fought an old and beaten Klitschko(beaten by Fury)... If Klitschko was in his prime he would've finished him when he knocked him down in that fight...
I personally had my life destroyed by panic attacks and mental health problems 30 years ago and still struggle to this day so I know this amazing man is talking from the heart and totally right with his advice which will no doubt save many young people for many years to come,He has also resparked my interest in boxing to the point of getting back to the gym and hitting a bag all be it a light one.God bless you Tyson
Same here, dawg. I can relate. Was a promising amateur athlete, threw it all away. Its harder when your an athlete and you deal with depression. Its always that "What if"
This man is a legend not from his boxing victory, but through the victory over alcohol and drugs and mental health the champion of himself is the greatest gift priceless. I love him for this beautiful message!
@@zeemzee7476 Because he's more than just a boxer. Too many people, like yourself, overlook the struggles and hardships he's overcome that ultimately give people hope... beyond just the ring. His fighting spirit transcends the sport; a people's champ because he's more than just a boxer: a champion of hope. .
If you’re suffering from a mental health problem, make sure you get the help you need. Look after yourself with exercise and meditation. Clean up your diet and start researching foods that help to promote health and wellbeing. Good luck to all of you, and respect to Tyson Fury.
From experience alcohol and drugs are the worst for a sick person. I have his issues but somehow I pick up after down. It's hard. I never quit though. That's what makes me believe he will win. A stubborn person is dangerous. Wilder thinks hes gifted. And he is. But never mess with a crazy man who won't quit.
Jesus Christ will exercise your demons from you as well as meditation helps. Jesus christ is Lord and saviour. Every knee will now and Every tongue shall confess Jesus Christ is Lord n saviour
I have a lot of the same issues as Tyson with regards mental health problems. Racing mind, depression, feeling worth less even though i have a partner and child. More than 10 years of my life have drifted by in a fog of recreational drugs, pharmaceutical drug abuse and alcohol and regular unemployment and in the last year suicide has crossed my mind more and more. Tyson is my hero and is motivating me to do something about my demons and get myself a happy life. I wish him all the best in his fight. I won €400 when he beat klitchko and I will place another bet this fight cause I believe he can win even after all he has been through. There's only 1 Tyson fury!
Been there bro. Sounds *exactly* like me 4-5 years ago. Just push through. One day something will just click. Some people find anti-depressant tablets help. I think they helped me. They don't alter your mind state or anything. There's a chemical imbalance in our brain that needs sorting out. Those tablets can help. You've got to stick with them though. I was on them for about 6 months or so. For me, that wasn't a long time. Depressed and suicidal for about 7 years - 20-27. So taking tablets for 6 months was nothing compared to 7 years of depression. Quitting smoking weed helped immensely as well! The tablets obviously worked because they got me passed it. Pretty fucked up tough because i was diagnosed with cancer back in May! Got it cut out on the 4th of July. America's independence day is my cancer independence day, lol. I'm on chemo now to try and stop it from coming back. I only mention that to say that even though i was diagnosed with cancer at 33 years old i didn't go back to my dark times. So once you beat depression, it's easier to stay ahead of it, if that makes sense... Oh yeah, and if you do go to the doctors, try to be assertive! When i first went my doctor told me to read a book and go for a walk! I went back a couple of weeks later and told him that wasn't working. Even when i went about cancer they treated it as IBS for about a month before i told them it's not working and i want further tests!
I hope you get better and reach your goals the only advice I could give I believe to be helpful is do not trade one addiction for an other it’s not as easy as it sounds also routines and goals help for some at least
@@shanehull6235 I agree Shane, - that was my problem, quitting rec drugs but becoming addicted to the medically prescribed ones to get me off. There is a place for them, - taken correctly to avoid seizures etc which I experienced during withdrawals, - but . . . I carried on taking after they had done their job, best to all who might be struggling.
I suffer the same disease or DisATease. Racing head, obsessive behaviour, addiction, dissatisfaction and self persecution. Good luck to you on your journey to being well, you're not on your own mate.
I can totally understand what Tyson is saying here. I am going through the crippling anxiety and panic attacks. Hearing Tyson speak even virtually is calming. I can watch this interview over and over again. The "whoop whoop" thing really works. Thanks for posting the video Showtime.
good man Tyson! after all the crap you've gone through you are now close to performing one of the greatest feats in sports history. Morphing from whale form back to human form, and then transforming back into a world-class athlete in such a short time is victory alone. Now, if you beat Deontay, which I think you can, this will be the most epic boxing story ever as well. Your name will be cemented in the annals of boxing history. Get the job done.
I remember when i had my first panic attack. I had negative thoughts for a while building up, but never signs of anxiety that made me physically ill. No one knows what it's like until you've experienced it yourself. It's a near death experience. Feels like your brain just stops sending signals to your body so you freeze up and starts to panic. Kinda like sleep paralysis, but you stress out of the thought that you loose control out among people.
It was a Rocky story..and then some. He was knocked out cold and rose up off the canvas at a count of 9...look at the bewildered look on Wilder's face...almost screaming "DAYUUUM...what the hell do i have to do in order that this man stays down?" Fury was by far the better fighter...what a comeback. RESPECT.
Amazing that someone like Fury opened up about this. Many people struggle with mental health and it too often gets swepted under the rug. Greatly important interview this is
Best video ever. I suffer from mental health. Tyson described so many things I can relate to. Your biggest fight is always with yourself. Stay positive everyone. Always fight the internal negative critic !!!! Better days are always a head.☺
I just watched this interview as I am really rock bottom with my own mental health battle at the moment and it's has really touched me and I am going to use the whoop whoop effect and hope it works. I love you Tyson xx
Going through a bad time in my head again at the minute through ex baby’s mother using my son as a weapon to hurt me and it’s set me back in my head again ,I like watching this man talking about problems it does help also training is a must for depression it really helps
Stay consistent in your son's life. Never let her break your will to be there for your son. No matter what. Because when he grows up and becomes a man he won't ever be able to say you weren't there for him. Anything she does is not more powerful than your love for your son. She can do whatever the fuck she wants but your connection with him isn't to do with her. End of story.
I feel your pain. I'm thing through a divorce . Had to leave my home because of my ex wife's narcissistic behavior and mental abuse. It set me back mentally. Every time she texts me I feel like I have PTSD. My heart races. I get anxious. But I know our kids are our salvation. There's nothing else to live for. Tyson gives me hope that we can over come our own minds. The mind steals your joy. We must overcome
Thank you Tyson Fury for sharing this powerful testimony. Got teary eyed a couple of times watching this video. Well done for getting back on track. Very inspiring. GOD Bless you bro.
What an inspiration! I think Tyson nailed at one point..... he can't lose in this fight. If he wins, he's an ATG who came back after 2 nothing fights and 3 years and beat 'the baddest man on the planet'........ if he loses - he lost to the 'baddest man on the planet' but got himself back from depression, anxiety, alcoholism, drugs..... but still cahllenged the 'baddest man on the planet'. WIN-WIN.
Sat here with tears rolling down my face because this is exactly how I feel. This great man Tyson Fury, brings a tiny slither of hope that one day life might be a little easier.
It's refreshing reading positive comments about him for a change he's back an i knew he'd be world champion when i watched his pro debut on channel 5! 🥊🇬🇧☺
It's amazing how relatable this is. I had some great successes at work and completed some deals that earned me a decent amount of money, I put months of hard work in and fell into a pit of depression for weeks after completion. Everyone around me was bigging it up and patting me on the back m, but inside I felt hollow, lost and without purpose. Of course it's nothing compared to the success of Fury, but on a personal level it's so good to hear it's not just me... nobody I spoke to could understand the massive come down and I had no idea how to cope with it other than pick a new fight and new challenge, but where is the contentment?
i was a Hater, i didn't like him, but now he's one of the best speakers on my list plus he's a wise man, and definitely one of the best boxers. Go Tyson Fury, and Blessings be with you.
anyone that's been following Tyson's career knows he's being real here. I remember the sit down with Wlad for the second fight. He literately said he didn't care about winning or losing or the titles or whatever. He told Wlad if he goes in there and gets his head punched off he didn't care. He was in this very state he's describing here.
Yep i remember watching it and knowing that something wasn't right and that he was being genuine when saying all of that, people in the comments were telling me it was just 'mind games' that Fury was using on Wlad but it was definitely not just mind games more like a cry for help but because Fury is a naturally funny guy very few people took it seriously
Tyson Fury YOU ARE THE MAN!! Love from Australia mate! I absolutely love how you are the "unofficial official spokesperson for mental health" ! You absolutely tore Wilder to pieces exactly how you called it!
I know you probably won’t ever see this Tyson but thank you so much. I have just come through a massive depression which climaxed with a month of the most awful anxiety which ended with me slumped over the steering wheel of my van ,crying uncontrollably and my son trying to comfort me whilst in tears too. Hearing you go through exactly the same feelings as helped reinforce that it is a cruel disease that can hurt anyone. I drank to ease the pain. I cared about nothing and nothing wetted my appetite for life. I have now, with help and using the methods you describe, turned the corner and a month later feel alive again. I am now in the process of helping my father who is 80 and is going through the same emotional rollercoaster. He is exercising everyday and this video will help him so much. Thank you A friend
So when I was nine years old I watched my brother die in a boating accident, he bled to death in my arms. Following that accident my family split apart, my mother was having an affair on my father with the gentleman that was driving the boat. After my brothers death I was abused for years in a variety of ways, and when I was twelve I decided to commit suicide by hanging myself. I remember seeing my brother on the other side and he said "I'm with God and everything is ok, we both have our eyes on you. Your time is not yet over and you have to go back because God has plans for your life." I fell into a bad crowd in high school, I began doing and selling drugs, I fought people for money in backyards, I destroyed other peoples property, I stole things, and I hurt many people. One day I had an epiphany and decided to cut ties with everyone in my life and I began to focus on golf, and for nine years I moved up and down the west coast of the United States working at multiple golf courses and I was a pro for three years. But I was still struggling with my mental health issues and I had a breakdown in the parking lot at my last golf tournament. I spent almost two months in a psych hospital that summer. A few months ago I began working at Crunch Fitness in Boise Idaho as a janitor because the Gm told me that "you could be a champion bodybuiulder" This speech resonates with me on a deeply personal level because I know exactly what Tyson is speaking about. God saved my life and he sent me back to give me a second chance. My only desire in this life is to be a force for good in this world and to be a role model for those struggling with their own personal demons. God bless you Mr Fury.
Just watched another TH-cam vid about Tyson and mental health, only short, but he talks to a lad about mental health after he asks him fo a picture. Didn’t think I could love Tyson Fury any more than I did already!!!! What a geezer he really is. I struggle with anxiety and depression but martial arts helped me. My Sensei died 18 months ago who I loved and I’ve been struggling again since then. Tyson helps and inspires me to keep on, talk about it and be open. God bless you big man, I’m in your corner every step of the way!!!!!!
Pioneer for raising awareness of mental health and the struggles people go through. Talking is such an important starting point. Massive respect for Tyson Fury. 👏
10 years after my head breaking, just plodding on seemingly achieving, any control I had of my mental health went 9 months ago. Watching Tyson talk about darkness, chasing everything, caring little for himself, what he describes is the closest anyone has to how I would define depression. I have achieved, lost, it, achieved more, nearly let it all slip away, constantly sat on the fence with the direction of my life due to the instability of my mental health. I have just returned to work after 6 months of fighting the dark rather than trying to block it and inevitably becoming consumed by it time after time. If you want to admit you have mental illness, which is required to beat it, expect to be isolated from friends and family, nobody likes the nut case or the association, do not expect support from employers or partners unless they are something very special, nobody honestly wants to listen someone bang on about how bad there feeling. I believe I have beat depression, there is no more dark, I didn't go to work, thought about it working in my garden and at home on my own a lot of the time in tears until I realised how much I still wanted it all. And that it is partly the way I think which makes me unique and talented. I had £50 on Tyson knock Klitchko out and I'll be having £100 on him knock Wielder out too. Complete inspiration and Manchester's Mohammed Ali and certainly my greatest sportsman of all time. Loved Tyson since he got knocked down by the Canadian and got back up to flatten him, true fighter, true genius
Mental Health is a day to day 24/7 struggle, sometimes you don't get the chance to think about recovering. Awareness like this gives a little bit of hope and reassurance that people are not on their own. If you're reading this and struggling then speak to someone or at least seek help like the mind website. Changing your habits, diet and incorporating good communication practice and exercise are the best aids for mental health. Try to self analyse yourself and listen to your body and mind. Tyson Fury is an icon, big up the Gypsy King, takes a lot to speak about such issues, even if you are the "heavyweight champion of the world".

Tears are going down watching this. Nothing but respect for Fury coming out talking about this.
Just told my wife to get the kettle ready, time for tea and 49 minutes with Tyson❤️
And later will be 36 mins of master boxing. For me boxing is first and I like wilder but his skill is undeniable. What he did to chisora the 2nd fight no man has done to chisora. Haye koed him. Tyson made him quit.

James Wood woah.. that was anti semitic....
Oh my God! (And I'm an Atheist)
Most honest sports or even non-sports interview ever.
Tyson Fury will never know how many lives he saved with this one interview.
Thank you eternally my friend.
Lol @ I’m an atheist
Quazi Roberts I wasn’t poking fun at him. I was laughing at the fact he pointed it out after saying oh my god
Never had a sporting hero growing up. Thought it was stupid to idolize a sportsman. Now i have one, feel like me and Tyson are on a journey of recovery together.
I hope your doing well now & happy mate
Awww that’s swwweet!!!!! 🥰❤️ god bless you!!!!
🙏🏼🌞🙏🏼
You got it mate
I suffer from being bi-polar and depression. I totally relate to this video. I cried the whole time that someone understood where I have been and where I am now. I have been in that dark whole....it's horrible. This interview has given me hope that I can get better. I am extremely popular and full of life....that's my public persona. At home I cry often, sleep late and apathetic. this video makes me feel like I can come alive again. Thanks Tyson,for sharing.
The more I iisten to Fury the more I like him. Biggest battles aren't always won or lost in an arena... Hats off to him.
From what you just said, I believe you might enjoy my book Champion (on Amazon and the "Boxing Movie /Book Trailer" on my youtube channel Miles Cobbett :)
I love you tyson fury. Ive suffered from depression since a child now going through anxiety. Youve helped me so much. Keep winning tyson and get that belt of wilder and make ppl like me PROUD
He's a good man for being so honest and raising awareness of this important issue. As a person thats suffered from anxiety-obviously I can say Im in good company now, nothing to be ashamed of. This is bloody important. No one would be ashamed of a broken leg. No one should be ashamed of mental health issues. This man knocks out professional boxers at the highest level for a living. Anxiety issues and mental health issues do not discriminate who they affect. This man is helping to remove the stigma. More people will get help and support. Personally in the most part Ive dealt with my issue alone. Its been tough and cost me diamonds but Im still here and at least physically strong to fight another day. Thats the main thing. There's always hope. Awareness is a major key. Tyson Fury is spreading awareness. A champ in every sense of the word.
He’s an inspiration.
The best fighter ever.
Mental health ambassador.
Just an all round top guy.
Tyson is a real one literally everything he said about anxiety and mental health happened to me it's terrible and its outrageous that its not talked about much in the media and just everyday life much respect for this man he's talking about mental health more than the fight its self ! it can happen to anybody and everybody just know your not alone like Tyson said very well explained to.
Same here bro
Me three! But we are bigger than that bullshit! Hope everything is well now
antonio castaneda
Listen brother I went thru it everything he talked about it. My family used to tell em depression and anxiety are girly problems and I used to fight within and I went to a very dark path. Only praying and working out used to make me feel better.
It still creeps up on me from time to time. Always go running when you feel like that shit don’t worry about the time
@antonio Castaneda- Yep, I totally agree. It's obvious he's being real about it when he's describing the finer details of depression/anxiety disorder, only one who has suffered from this shit would understand.
Yeah i now where hes been cuz im there now. Great that he raise awareness and brings hope to people.
Watching Tyson Fury's thoughtful and very touching interview broke and opened my heart from how he has shared his experience and made them public he is breaking /'smashing' the stigma of mental health .I am touched by how he is helping so many people going through depression and many other mental health issues. listening to Fury on here has helped me immensely . I'm now a huge fan and will be watching Tyson Fury box in the near future …Congratulations to Fury on his two recent victories , one his recent boxing match and the other on having his health back….
The most genuine, charismatic down to earth man alive. He's an absolute legend I could listen to him for eternity... :)
And John fury is great to listening to
I have a ton of respect for this man. Rooting for him in and out of the ring
Met Tyson at a meet and greet in Birmingham just after he beat Wlad for the Belts. He stopped and had a chat and shook my hand very down to earth guy. Right there and then he was going through this and he still put on a great show for the fans there that night. So glad he is back in track. Hope he stays on track. Respect big man !
wow
I can relate to everything Tyson just said, I started getting anxiety at 23 years old over a heart condition I discovered I had whilst on duty at work, it was a mild condition and is very common and unlikely to harm me, but it still made me convinced I was going to die on a daily basis and made myself worse with the heart racing and chest pains and struggled with this anxiety and depression for many months to then almost killing myself.. I then got a new job and started training and life got much better beat the anxiety for a good 6 years and life was good. Now I'm 29 and I've recently got myself back into that dark hole again and I've made myself physically ill by messing up my digestive system (low stomach acid production) because of the anxiety and also caused my gut to become out of balance and now I'm fighting everyday to become physically and mentally well again but it's the toughest fight of my life this time I'm 4 months into this fight and I'm praying and fighting for that light at the end of the tunnel. God bless everyone out there struggling and fighting.
take pro biotics
How are you doing today brother, might be random after 3 years😂
Both of these two have articulated so well what millions are struggling with on a daily basis. Thank you, I have learned so much.
I love this man. What a great interview. I've suffered from depression for years. It's so great to listen to someone who understands and has such good advice. What an inspiration Tyson is.
Hope u doing well. Dealing with the same.
You’ve already won big man👊🏻
Eddie Archer 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Now he really won big time! Wbc heavyweight champion of the world baby!
I've never particularly liked Tyson Fury....but what an honest interview. I respect him now.
Watch @MixedMollyWhoppery's two part TH-cam documentary about him. You'll find it hard to not feel an sense of absolute solidarity with the man
Man this was as real as it gets... Much respect to Furry... I'm a fan of him and Deontay and may the best man win... At least they got the balls to fight each other
if only everyone seen it like this. may the best man win.
Lol @ the implied attack on Joshua, who has fought better competition than the two of them combined. Not Joshuas fault Fury disappeared for 2+ years to avoid rematching Wlad and having a drug test, also not his fault Wilders managers are stalling because they want to manuever Wilder into a better bargaining position instead of sending him to London where the refs and judges cant be controlled and only getting a 30/70 split.
@@ministryOFmuff Joshua's body language changes when Wilder and Fury name is mentioned in interviews... That's the ultimate sign my man...
@@devondowning3935 Joshua stepped up to Wlad in only his 19th fight, hes been in there with Povetkin, Whyte, Parker and Breazele (all top 10 HWs) already and had signed to fight at the time top 5 ranked Pulev too and hes only 22 fights into his career. The guy is fighting tougher opposition than anyone in the HW division by far, hes about 3 solid wins off being an all time great HW. So I dont buy into the notion that hes scared or protected for one second because hes already taken tons of risks. Wilder on the other hand has the record of a protected fighter, even taking this Fury fight looks like a calculated move from Wilders team due to Furys inactivity and how poor he looked in his tune up fights.
@@ministryOFmuff I actually think Fury gonna win... Joshua fought an old and beaten Klitschko(beaten by Fury)... If Klitschko was in his prime he would've finished him when he knocked him down in that fight...
Love Tyson Fury, love the interviewer. Both great men. One just remarkable comeback guy and one just super respectful and compassionate!!!
I have followed this man from day one and am so happy I picked him as the best especially know his open about his mental health problems
I personally had my life destroyed by panic attacks and mental health problems 30 years ago and still struggle to this day so I know this amazing man is talking from the heart and totally right with his advice which will no doubt save many young people for many years to come,He has also resparked my interest in boxing to the point of getting back to the gym and hitting a bag all be it a light one.God bless you Tyson
who suffers from depression, i am glad someone of Tyson Fury's caliber has been honest & candid about himself and being vocal about it.
I do and I get it. Ruined American football because of it. I could play and I killed it.
Same here, dawg. I can relate. Was a promising amateur athlete, threw it all away. Its harder when your an athlete and you deal with depression. Its always that "What if"
Find s new passion and avoid people who make you feel negative , keep fighting
This man is a legend not from his boxing victory, but through the victory over alcohol and drugs and mental health the champion of himself is the greatest gift priceless. I love him for this beautiful message!
Tyson you’re a legend. People’s champ.
How is he the peoples champ exactly? Not one defence? One good win. How the fuk is he the peoples champ mate
@@zeemzee7476 Because the people of England rate him highly and rightly so
@@zeemzee7476 Because he's more than just a boxer. Too many people, like yourself, overlook the struggles and hardships he's overcome that ultimately give people hope... beyond just the ring. His fighting spirit transcends the sport; a people's champ because he's more than just a boxer: a champion of hope. .
ZEE M ZEE he’s a top bloke mate. Met him. Great guy.
Proud of you, never heard such an honest person, amazing restores faith in humanity, good man.
ABSOLUTELY INSPIRED. THANKS CHAMP.
Tyson Fury. The Gypsy King. A wonderful Husband, Father and Killer Boxer. An overcomer by Faith. What a man!
If you’re suffering from a mental health problem, make sure you get the help you need. Look after yourself with exercise and meditation. Clean up your diet and start researching foods that help to promote health and wellbeing. Good luck to all of you, and respect to Tyson Fury.
From experience alcohol and drugs are the worst for a sick person. I have his issues but somehow I pick up after down. It's hard. I never quit though. That's what makes me believe he will win. A stubborn person is dangerous. Wilder thinks hes gifted. And he is. But never mess with a crazy man who won't quit.
And tool.
Jesus Christ will exercise your demons from you as well as meditation helps.
Jesus christ is Lord and saviour. Every knee will now and Every tongue shall confess Jesus Christ is Lord n saviour
Good luck to you too, Sir
@Seek The Source If you eat meat, are you a true follower of Jesus Christ?
Mauro killed this interview because I believe he dealt with the same thing.
I have a lot of the same issues as Tyson with regards mental health problems. Racing mind, depression, feeling worth less even though i have a partner and child. More than 10 years of my life have drifted by in a fog of recreational drugs, pharmaceutical drug abuse and alcohol and regular unemployment and in the last year suicide has crossed my mind more and more. Tyson is my hero and is motivating me to do something about my demons and get myself a happy life. I wish him all the best in his fight. I won €400 when he beat klitchko and I will place another bet this fight cause I believe he can win even after all he has been through. There's only 1 Tyson fury!
Fergus, good luck in your difficulties, mine manifested as decades of addiction, illicit and pharmaceutical, but overcame them. Peace
Been there bro. Sounds *exactly* like me 4-5 years ago. Just push through. One day something will just click. Some people find anti-depressant tablets help. I think they helped me. They don't alter your mind state or anything. There's a chemical imbalance in our brain that needs sorting out. Those tablets can help. You've got to stick with them though. I was on them for about 6 months or so. For me, that wasn't a long time. Depressed and suicidal for about 7 years - 20-27. So taking tablets for 6 months was nothing compared to 7 years of depression. Quitting smoking weed helped immensely as well!
The tablets obviously worked because they got me passed it. Pretty fucked up tough because i was diagnosed with cancer back in May! Got it cut out on the 4th of July. America's independence day is my cancer independence day, lol. I'm on chemo now to try and stop it from coming back. I only mention that to say that even though i was diagnosed with cancer at 33 years old i didn't go back to my dark times. So once you beat depression, it's easier to stay ahead of it, if that makes sense...
Oh yeah, and if you do go to the doctors, try to be assertive! When i first went my doctor told me to read a book and go for a walk! I went back a couple of weeks later and told him that wasn't working. Even when i went about cancer they treated it as IBS for about a month before i told them it's not working and i want further tests!
I hope you get better and reach your goals the only advice I could give I believe to be helpful is do not trade one addiction for an other it’s not as easy as it sounds also routines and goals help for some at least
@@shanehull6235 I agree Shane, - that was my problem, quitting rec drugs but becoming addicted to the medically prescribed ones to get me off. There is a place for them, - taken correctly to avoid seizures etc which I experienced during withdrawals, - but . . . I carried on taking after they had done their job, best to all who might be struggling.
I suffer the same disease or DisATease. Racing head, obsessive behaviour, addiction, dissatisfaction and self persecution. Good luck to you on your journey to being well, you're not on your own mate.
Amazing to have someone like Tyson speaking up about mental health. Great guy.
Wow! Thank you so much Tyson Fury and Showtime.
"win or lose I've already won" love this 😍
He has already won :)
True!
Win, lose or draw he's won !
You can't defeat me! I've already won!
I can tell you for a fact that mental illness is a far tougher opponent than any person, it is an invisible lethal opponent
@@Phil-dx8rw spot on phil well said top man!!
I can totally understand what Tyson is saying here. I am going through the crippling anxiety and panic attacks.
Hearing Tyson speak even virtually is calming. I can watch this interview over and over again.
The "whoop whoop" thing really works. Thanks for posting the video Showtime.
good man Tyson! after all the crap you've gone through you are now close to performing one of the greatest feats in sports history. Morphing from whale form back to human form, and then transforming back into a world-class athlete in such a short time is victory alone. Now, if you beat Deontay, which I think you can, this will be the most epic boxing story ever as well. Your name will be cemented in the annals of boxing history. Get the job done.
It would be an amazing film - and too right, just getting back to form and in fine fettle is a massive achievment.
Even if he loses he's still an icon
I remember when i had my first panic attack. I had negative thoughts for a while building up, but never signs of anxiety that made me physically ill.
No one knows what it's like until you've experienced it yourself. It's a near death experience. Feels like your brain just stops sending signals to your body so you freeze up and starts to panic. Kinda like sleep paralysis, but you stress out of the thought that you loose control out among people.
If Fury wins on the 1st December. It will be a better story than Rocky. Hollywood eat your heart out!
It was a Rocky story..and then some. He was knocked out cold and rose up off the canvas at a count of 9...look at the bewildered look on Wilder's face...almost screaming "DAYUUUM...what the hell do i have to do in order that this man stays down?"
Fury was by far the better fighter...what a comeback. RESPECT.
Fury was KILLED by that Wilder punch in round 12. This is such an incredible story
Amazing that someone like Fury opened up about this. Many people struggle with mental health and it too often gets swepted under the rug. Greatly important interview this is
Best video ever. I suffer from mental health. Tyson described so many things I can relate to. Your biggest fight is always with yourself. Stay positive everyone. Always fight the internal negative critic !!!! Better days are always a head.☺
Well said
Anyone who’s reading this suffering from mental health issues just know that it will get BETTER, The Gypsy King proves this.
Army Valdro you’ll get through it. Talk to someone. All dark tunnels come to an end eventually 💙
@@armyvaldro5489 have you tried anti-depressants and therapy?
Tyson Fury is not just an amazing boxer but an inspiration to everyone that relates to this video. 👍
I just watched this interview as I am really rock bottom with my own mental health battle at the moment and it's has really touched me and I am going to use the whoop whoop effect and hope it works. I love you Tyson xx
Hope you're doing ok mate
See a professional instead of getting tips from this man 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hope you found some peace big dog
Going through a bad time in my head again at the minute through ex baby’s mother using my son as a weapon to hurt me and it’s set me back in my head again ,I like watching this man talking about problems it does help also training is a must for depression it really helps
Stay consistent in your son's life. Never let her break your will to be there for your son. No matter what. Because when he grows up and becomes a man he won't ever be able to say you weren't there for him. Anything she does is not more powerful than your love for your son. She can do whatever the fuck she wants but your connection with him isn't to do with her. End of story.
This One your right thanks 👍
I feel your pain. I'm thing through a divorce . Had to leave my home because of my ex wife's narcissistic behavior and mental abuse. It set me back mentally. Every time she texts me I feel like I have PTSD. My heart races. I get anxious. But I know our kids are our salvation. There's nothing else to live for. Tyson gives me hope that we can over come our own minds. The mind steals your joy. We must overcome
Like he said its hard to go through tough times alone, keep your head up and give me a message if you ever feel you need to chat
Stay strong bruvva x
This man has become a hero of mine......I understand his pain and suffering and listening to him has helped me a lot
Thankyou
Thank you Tyson Fury for sharing this powerful testimony.
Got teary eyed a couple of times watching this video.
Well done for getting back on track. Very inspiring.
GOD Bless you bro.
I don’t have words , just respect for his transparency of his story .
What an inspiration!
I think Tyson nailed at one point..... he can't lose in this fight. If he wins, he's an ATG who came back after 2 nothing fights and 3 years and beat 'the baddest man on the planet'........ if he loses - he lost to the 'baddest man on the planet' but got himself back from depression, anxiety, alcoholism, drugs..... but still cahllenged the 'baddest man on the planet'.
WIN-WIN.
Sat here with tears rolling down my face because this is exactly how I feel. This great man Tyson Fury, brings a tiny slither of hope that one day life might be a little easier.

Tyson Fury is truly an incredible man.
Tyson quickly becoming everyone's favourite heavyweight!!
It's amazing how relatable this is.
I had some great successes at work and completed some deals that earned me a decent amount of money, I put months of hard work in and fell into a pit of depression for weeks after completion. Everyone around me was bigging it up and patting me on the back m, but inside I felt hollow, lost and without purpose. Of course it's nothing compared to the success of Fury, but on a personal level it's so good to hear it's not just me... nobody I spoke to could understand the massive come down and I had no idea how to cope with it other than pick a new fight and new challenge, but where is the contentment?
Holding back the tears. Got big L❤️VE for this man! Thanking God for his life.
i was a Hater, i didn't like him, but now he's one of the best speakers on my list plus he's a wise man, and definitely one of the best boxers.
Go Tyson Fury, and Blessings be with you.
anyone that's been following Tyson's career knows he's being real here. I remember the sit down with Wlad for the second fight. He literately said he didn't care about winning or losing or the titles or whatever. He told Wlad if he goes in there and gets his head punched off he didn't care. He was in this very state he's describing here.
Yep i remember watching it and knowing that something wasn't right and that he was being genuine when saying all of that, people in the comments were telling me it was just 'mind games' that Fury was using on Wlad but it was definitely not just mind games more like a cry for help but because Fury is a naturally funny guy very few people took it seriously
Tyson has become my hero with depression I watch this video over and over every thing he’s speaks I can relate too there’s no pain like it
He is born to be champion his life was planned when he was first born
Tyson Fury saved my life.
From someone who has suffers mental health issues you are a true inspiration
Ok! This interview just swooned me over. Big love Tyson🙌🏻💪
Tyson Fury YOU ARE THE MAN!! Love from Australia mate! I absolutely love how you are the "unofficial official spokesperson for mental health" ! You absolutely tore Wilder to pieces exactly how you called it!
Thank you Tyson! Your story and your comeback have been inspiring to me and many others.
MAURO IS THE PERFECT PERSON TO INTERVIEW TYSON ABOUT THIS AS HE WENT THROUGH DEPRESSION AS WELL...GREAT INTERVIEW...
Brought me to tears. Inspired me to fight and not give up despite the things life throws my way
I know you probably won’t ever see this Tyson but thank you so much. I have just come through a massive depression which climaxed with a month of the most awful anxiety which ended with me slumped over the steering wheel of my van ,crying uncontrollably and my son trying to comfort me whilst in tears too. Hearing you go through exactly the same feelings as helped reinforce that it is a cruel disease that can hurt anyone. I drank to ease the pain. I cared about nothing and nothing wetted my appetite for life.
I have now, with help and using the methods you describe, turned the corner and a month later feel alive again. I am now in the process of helping my father who is 80 and is going through the same emotional rollercoaster. He is exercising everyday and this video will help him so much. Thank you
A friend
What a guy, true hero for bouncing back and speaking his mind about what he's been through.
Aye, them saying "looking for attention" are baiting, jealous idiots who just want him back in the mire. (or worse)
Glad they have him interviewing Tyson. He knows what questions to ask cause he’s been thru it !!!
So when I was nine years old I watched my brother die in a boating accident, he bled to death in my arms.
Following that accident my family split apart, my mother was having an affair on my father with the gentleman that was driving the boat.
After my brothers death I was abused for years in a variety of ways, and when I was twelve I decided to commit suicide by hanging myself.
I remember seeing my brother on the other side and he said "I'm with God and everything is ok, we both have our eyes on you. Your time is not yet over and you have to go back because God has plans for your life."
I fell into a bad crowd in high school, I began doing and selling drugs, I fought people for money in backyards, I destroyed other peoples property, I stole things, and I hurt many people.
One day I had an epiphany and decided to cut ties with everyone in my life and I began to focus on golf, and for nine years I moved up and down the west coast of the United States working at multiple golf courses and I was a pro for three years.
But I was still struggling with my mental health issues and I had a breakdown in the parking lot at my last golf tournament.
I spent almost two months in a psych hospital that summer.
A few months ago I began working at Crunch Fitness in Boise Idaho as a janitor because the Gm told me that "you could be a champion bodybuiulder"
This speech resonates with me on a deeply personal level because I know exactly what Tyson is speaking about.
God saved my life and he sent me back to give me a second chance.
My only desire in this life is to be a force for good in this world and to be a role model for those struggling with their own personal demons.
God bless you Mr Fury.
You're amazing
I LOVE YOUR STORY
Sounds like you could write a book...except that you don't know the end of the story yet.
@@finnmccool684 Thank you sir, I'm actually working on becoming a public speaker.

@@bradygreer1593 what's the name of your channel
Just watched another TH-cam vid about Tyson and mental health, only short, but he talks to a lad about mental health after he asks him fo a picture. Didn’t think I could love Tyson Fury any more than I did already!!!! What a geezer he really is. I struggle with anxiety and depression but martial arts helped me. My Sensei died 18 months ago who I loved and I’ve been struggling again since then. Tyson helps and inspires me to keep on, talk about it and be open. God bless you big man, I’m in your corner every step of the way!!!!!!
i really admire your new mission Tyson. All the best on that new way!!!
This is the best interview I've ever watched in my life. I suffer from mental health have done for years. Listening to Tyson makes you feel better.
The most intense interview I've ever seen. He is so so incredible. A true inspiration. So so sad.
This man had no idea how healing this interview would become for many people. Immense amount of respect for you Tyson Fury.
Tyson is a outstanding man, he is a legend it takes alot to open up because everyone worries about criticism
Pioneer for raising awareness of mental health and the struggles people go through. Talking is such an important starting point. Massive respect for Tyson Fury. 👏
10 years after my head breaking, just plodding on seemingly achieving, any control I had of my mental health went 9 months ago. Watching Tyson talk about darkness, chasing everything, caring little for himself, what he describes is the closest anyone has to how I would define depression. I have achieved, lost, it, achieved more, nearly let it all slip away, constantly sat on the fence with the direction of my life due to the instability of my mental health. I have just returned to work after 6 months of fighting the dark rather than trying to block it and inevitably becoming consumed by it time after time. If you want to admit you have mental illness, which is required to beat it, expect to be isolated from friends and family, nobody likes the nut case or the association, do not expect support from employers or partners unless they are something very special, nobody honestly wants to listen someone bang on about how bad there feeling. I believe I have beat depression, there is no more dark, I didn't go to work, thought about it working in my garden and at home on my own a lot of the time in tears until I realised how much I still wanted it all. And that it is partly the way I think which makes me unique and talented. I had £50 on Tyson knock Klitchko out and I'll be having £100 on him knock Wielder out too. Complete inspiration and Manchester's Mohammed Ali and certainly my greatest sportsman of all time. Loved Tyson since he got knocked down by the Canadian and got back up to flatten him, true fighter, true genius
Love how candid and honest he is about mental health and his struggles - much respect.
Mental Health is a day to day 24/7 struggle, sometimes you don't get the chance to think about recovering. Awareness like this gives a little bit of hope and reassurance that people are not on their own. If you're reading this and struggling then speak to someone or at least seek help like the mind website. Changing your habits, diet and incorporating good communication practice and exercise are the best aids for mental health. Try to self analyse yourself and listen to your body and mind.
Tyson Fury is an icon, big up the Gypsy King, takes a lot to speak about such issues, even if you are the "heavyweight champion of the world".
God bless you Tyson. One of the best interviews i ever seen in my life!
Quickest 49mins ever! Absolutely brilliant interview.
