Tyson Fury Opens Up About Mental Health, Overcoming Alcoholism & Fighting Deontay Wilder

you're watching The Breakfast Club in the morning, everyone's a DJ, Angela Yee Charlemagne envies God, we're The Breakfast Club, you have a special guest in the building, Tyson fears Tyson Fury, welcome sir aka the King, now I'm a boxing fan so I'm happy to see you here man now you're

fighting

Deontay Wilder on December 1st. Yes, you said that On T Water has nothing that you are not afraid of at all, why not? There's just nothing scary about it, to be honest, look. in Deontay Wilder I don't see, I don't see a great superhero to see a pair of mongrel boxing gloves in another bad bomb in the shower, yes, if there is something that he has that worries you, he is not necessarily afraid, but simply because he is He's got a big mouth, that's what he goes for the most, you could park a cruiser there, probably definitely when he goes to the bomb squad, that's the only thing I'm afraid of, a lot of mutual respect, I thought you all were some. video that leaked I guess when I didn't know the cameras were on, he was telling us you look good, you lost a lot of weight, yeah look I lost a lot of weight, 35 pounds, he says it was hard, hard, hard, hard work, finally I got there at the end and you know I only came back because Deontay Wilder made me do this, he told me I couldn't come back, I was too fat and I was done so he gave me the motivation to come back you know it was linear.

I, heavyweight champion, won all the belts and had a lot of free time for two and a half years and many people said I would never return because I had to lose so much weight and come from where I have conquered.

mental

health

problems I'll call ISM drug addiction everything you can imagine Been there and done that and watched this little video we made some Furies we finally finished I'll never watch it again I'm going to fall you know what? It was a father who took my running shoes out again and I started with them and ended up walking because he couldn't run a hundred meters because he was so far away and he wasn't trained.

I came back nice and steady. We had a fairy tale story at the first stop. New York New York I needed some time off. He had been boxing since he was 1011 until he was 27 without breaks, so he needed time to live a little life and enjoy himself early, but he went too far with the anxiety. I started cumming. I was on top of the world. I became more and more depressed until it was like suicide for Maury. Fame. Glory. Good luck. I'm sorry. Everything that man will ever want to look at. He still had it all, but it still meant nothing.

I wanted to die every day, so material goods are only good when things are going well in your life, when everything is gold and everything is happy, then material goods are good, but you can have everything in the world and I feel that way diary. No one can see inside the mind. That's the message people get: they think that just because from the outside looking in things are going so well, they have no idea and you had no idea what was causing those thoughts, but people always assume you're fine. I have everything going for you why could you feel this way and it makes you feel even worse? 100 percent, one hundred percent, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy,

mental

health

has to be the biggest battle I've ever fought, more than any opponent could have figured out what had you down.

I don't know, I really don't know what I would be down on, but I know I was out of control on the only thing I could think of to make things better. For a while I got drunk and that only led to trouble after trouble, so the answer to that question is nothing can try. I accept medical advice about seeking medical help. Ok, I won't say no therapist will accept you, you lose all that. the weight took me about six months I worked really hard I trained three times a day I was on a strict diet and no sex I used to do a lot of sex I used to do cardio in track suits so you should get really dirty there you said in At one point his wife said that you had to move because things were quite difficult for you.

I'm sure you can imagine being married to Jack, the guy, the heavyweight champion of the world, the guy everyone talks about all that stuff about? and then everything goes wrong, like he had a drink, went out every night until 5:00 in the morning, sometimes he didn't come home for three days. I would go to the store and end up in New York from Morcom. It could be anywhere. like it was out of control. I was going to say only in the ring. I am very violent. He is still with you all the time. 100%. You're still expecting our fifth child, so if you didn't get your mental health rate, you might as well. you've never had 100% good physical health people don't really understand about mental health issues unless you've been through it like this lady is just saying looking from the outside people say what is that idiot he has everything going for him and I'm still not happy so nothing will make you know the people you know, if I knew what it was like to know I fixed it right away but you just don't know what causes these things and it's funny that I mention anxiety because it was the first time.

I had once experienced it well on a high level and I didn't like it growing on me like bits of anxiety and I never knew what it was until I looked into it myself in everything I said, look, I think I've been drugged, someone's trying to kill. I blah blah blah try me I said I want a blood test right now on top of an attack to think about a stroke everything on one side came out fine no the man said you have a severe anxiety attack the 100% of parents died in a fire, never You're going to go crazy, do you know what caused the first one or you just have no idea what was trying to ruin that I was driving home, everything was going well, my wife said the tea was already He wasn't there, so he was going to come home for me, armed, come on. me in the car while I was driving because tea without tea drinking tea is okay yeah I'm not drinking tea some dinner okay yeah and I was on my way home come on Mia I stopped in Australia when I I called, a friend said I'm where I think I'm dying of a heart attack, sweet, you tried to find me and I was running down the road of things out of control because you said something having me when I panicked, you think you're having a heart attack to the heart you try to run away from it I don't know why I react to the right I don't know probably something rolling down the sidewalk it was like peak people honking and I'm like I'm going to turn around and things just Totally crazy and I want to finally realize what it was.

I don't support it now and have ever felt anxious again. I know how to handle it, but before my first experience of a panic attack, I didn't. I knew what was happening, I was crying out to God to forgive me for my sins because I was one hundred percent sure I was going to fall to the ground and die, the only thing I could think about was my children not having a father while they were growing um and that was If nothing else really matters, they can give you more anxiety, yeah, I think it's the last moments of life.

Muffin, more mutters apart from the most important things. Now you want to say that you didn't feel accepted in Britain. I have understood your mentality, yes, otherwise it has changed, you know, it is a comeback story everyone loves it, not everyone loves a big comeback. I think this will be the biggest comeback, Iman, in recent memory in heavyweight history. We made mom. Dali did this years ago against George Foreman, but if I can go and beat young Taylor in the first one, this will be one of the epic comebacks, so you think you would think you prepared 100%, so let me ask you this, would you do you want?

Well, I know you feel like people are on your side now, but what made you decide that you had to be honest? Because I know it's hard to be honest about everything that goes on in your life behind the scenes that people may not know, when did they know? You realize this was something you had to come out and express and do interviews and talk about. It occurred to me one night in the UK. This is something that is not talked about much among high-profile athletes and things that I have achieved so far. There is a great platform here to raise awareness about mental health, especially in sports, and if the world heavyweight champion comes out of these problems and it is okay for him to come out and talk about it, then that should encourage others to come talk of it because As big as they are, as tough and as I am supposed to have a great fighter, I am capable of taking down anyone, no one is stoppable by mental problems, you think that any CTE came into play, you think that CTE, I don't understand it, that was a pretty face, about 30 professionals.

Flights are still very attractive, so all those White House things you used to say like you knew the spiel about rape and bestiality and your people went because of mental illness or what could have been the past, was left behind. past. What happened yesterday is history. I look forward to the future daily. I live for today and I don't know, I don't care what happens and yesterday I think I was saying this to the guys at ESPN like I was living in the moment because that's the only thing we have in our lives, some moments in time and so As soon as I walk out that door, we'll never be able to go back and play it again because it's real life, it's not a dress rehearsal, so I really care, it happens five.

A few minutes ago I'm going to move forward today and live for today and enjoy myself because I know that what God gives, God can take away in an instant, everything can be turned upside down and I have experienced it, but I believe it. It was a huge test because sometimes in life, when everything is going very well for you and you don't know what is good, sometimes you need to experience a little rain to be able to enjoy the sun again and now I am happy for the little things in life . just being here talking in a healthy state of mind basically bring me a copy I told you how long it's going to take you to win because I'm assuming you're going to win you don't think you're going to win you've gone a distance I'm what round it was it looks like If you have to oh you don't like to make predictions oh you have to predict I predict a lot and I'm always right about this this fight can go two ways I can knock him out in the first round or win by points out of twelve or maybe I could stop him late, it could be a late stop, well we'll see, I'm going to go with a first round knockout, first round knockout, first round knockout or a unanimous decision. in points 12 minutes 12 minutes I like you equally, especially you know everything, you remain a striker with good health, but now you are India, oh, that was good in boxing.

Wild Deonte is a bomb, how do you tell me this? actually Dave's gone, I think it'll be like five, six rounds tops, what you're going to do, huh, how's he going to win? I want to say knockout, but I think he will, you know, I don't know, from your blow, I think he will go the distance I think he wins on points I don't, they can't disadvantage you stay there, yeah, listen, the only possibility of these guys knocking me out when anyone can get knocked out in the special sailing division, but the only thing he was going to do was beat me on points.

I float too many pawns with some. I'm not much fitter than him. He has a better engine and I use v8 v12 engines. Sugar Ray Leonard was away for five years when he came back and beat Marvin Hagler. Norris boxing always beats the aggressive puncher every time Ortiz was 49 and I was 30, you know, I'm in the prime of my life. Anyway he's 6 feet 9 inches tall and weighs about 260 pounds, fit as a fiddle, healthy as a trout. You know the only way he can win is by knocking me out and look anyone can get knocked out in a boxing fight especially heavyweights and especially for money he has 39 Kos and his record of 40 is the world heavyweight champion , but I think it is written.

In stone my destiny is already written in front of me. Why do you think you are so ready to fight dirty so early in your return? because I believe that I am a great believer, I always have been and I always will be when it is your time. your time everything is meant to be in life and I believe that I have come to you for a reason and I have a mission in life and I don't know what it is but I don't know where it will go take me but I have already overcome a lot of things.

I can not lose. I am

fighting

for all those people behind me who suffer with mental problems. Seen by addiction. I suffer with all these problems. How can I lose? Dark Diamond, right, what he's also going to do now is beat him with a pair of boxing gloves. That should be simple because I know what it's going to do, where mental health, that dark thing, you don't know where it comes from, you don't know what. he's going to do to know what he's going to do, he's going to beat Millie's path directly in front of me and he's going to try to knock me out and it's up to me to get out of the way, knock him out, well, I'm, you're fighting the dark thing.

December 1st and I think that dog thing is going to win, well, I'm telling you it's not right, you know, if you feel like it, you can hit them right now. I wouldn't mind because it's been a plague on all of us, Dave. You just won one, no, we got it. I like this type. I'm going to read his book. I'm going to sign it. I don't want to be Tiantai. Why did I tell you? We are having a loss on your record. Does it bother you to listen? I don't lose, all I do is win well.

I beat the great Wladimir Klitschko in 25 title defenses and if he beats meI would have won, I am not naive. I called out Big Joe's losing record and stopped him from doing that because I couldn't have beaten a European guy. Big Joe loses record. In no way have I been in championship fights before big boxing and this is the first step anti Wilders. Don't forget that Luis Ortiz is an unknown character from Cuba that no one knows. He is interested in the fact that it is not an important fight, he is still a good person, he is a very good boxer but he is old mmm, if he had had more gas and had been a starter, probably beat Deonte weldable, we're not going to continue, probably and if he would he should have called us because that doesn't matter in the box and it doesn't matter in life, it's all about the guns in the night and the gentlemen look great in the last fight, KO in the second round, yes, well, against the lemon again, yes, yes, so I want. to lose this fight you continue boxing or this is it for you this is the comeback I don't lose so I want to beat this guy okay listen this guy has enough intervention if he doesn't have boxing or punching skills.

I fought against many greats. Dude, secret punch, strong, don't believe, Vladimir Klitschko, coupon loaded with 65 knockouts, Olympic gold medalist, but what you're going to do is hit that big wooden fee there. I mean, if you can't do that, you're not going to win and I. I don't think he can hit the target not everything is not what he is not skilled enough what do you think of Anthony Joshua? I think it's a big boom in weightlifting. I'm also Joshua, crazy. If they ever fought wildly, knock him out in the first fall I think Sol the easiest fight in the world for me right now is AJ well, they won't fight, they won't fight wildly, they don't want to fight anyone with a pulse, come on, if anyone is going to fight, you are I'm going to fight for fifty million dollars, you know, come on, take the fight, even line, it's Luis said, take the fight, take the fight, but no lamb does his thing, except the two best heavyweights of the world and a moment that is willing to fight each other. and Wilder at least we dare to be great we want to fight with the best of our times and for one of them to be considered gold of their day the after beat companion because I am the linear champion returning to General Sullivan. all in time so if he can beat me I'll beat Shakey I'll say Fairplay but if he can't I'll say I told you so so that's it Anthony Joshua now he can put his head down and he beat Klitschko to the ground .

It would be an old Klitschko who would never fight in almost two years. Okay, so you still think performance-enhancing drugs should be allowed in sports. Listen again to talk about the past when I hate talking about the past, we have to talk about the future. Well, me. I'll tell you if I agree with you, especially in baseball. Baseball backed down. What do you think about the floor? Do you think he's the best of all time and do you think that fight would be interesting? I think he's a great, great fighter, the best incredible talent of all time.

Incredible, everything great. In everything, a great businessman has everything. Did he beat Pacquiao easily again? Pacquiao is done, he's in it for a few pounds, a few dollars more, a great fighting legend, but he can never look in the mirror and say he was the best of his era because he just missed a flight on who is the best of his era. Mayweather in his time is unbeatable, no one will beat him, he is a devout Christian, right? Yes, how does his faith influence his boxing career? What I was saying before is that I think everything is written in the stars, basically, so you know, people go to boxing fights a little nervous and if in one area I'm going to win whatever, I just go with the flow. , all I have to do is train.

Hard and turn it off because whatever is meant to be will be I can't do anything about it It's out of my control My destiny has already been written and I believe I'm going to win this fight because why would I even come back? After all, I am obstacles, why bring me back to this level to beat me? Now, that won't be the point because you might be here to tell a different story like the one you have. You reached your mental health battle and you are. using the platform to talk about mental health that's big but it would be much bigger we're going to be wild so this story doesn't end it doesn't end in Los Angeles continue I say I'm 30 years old maybe You have another ten years on this board, who knows ?

Do you know who will take you to the ring? I know you're a big hip-hop fan but also a devout Christian. Have you decided who will take you out? Lecrae, we don't know yet. I don't know who's going to take us out yet, but it's going to be big, it's going to be mental and it's going to be a surprise, okay, we appreciate you joining us, good fight, no, I don't mean, well, look, I'll do it. Say good health, it has been a pleasure to really talk on this radio program, real lady, the reality is more me, a lot of wind.

I beat you first. Deonte has a better chance of winning. A hungry NBA president. Bay Tyson Fury. This if you slap him. Will you still be able to get your slab if you don't make a fist? Your hands are registered as a weapon, only one. Alright. I thought you thought about Deontay Wilder today on the battleship. Yes, something just for you in theory is the morning breakfast khloga.
