Tyson Fury's journey from the depths of depression, alcohol, and addiction to regaining his heavyweight champion title is touched on in his Netflix documentary
While Tyson Fury 's career in the ring is nothing short of spectacular, his remarkable transformation outside of it also captured the world's attention. He's now set to take on Francis Ngannou in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
It was during this tumultuous period that Tyson contemplated a drastic act, taking his Ferrari for a fateful spin and nearly driving it into a wall. What saved him from the abyss were thoughts of his beloved family. Faced with these challenges, the boxer made the heart-wrenching decision to relinquish his cherished world titles, saying: "I won the titles in the ring, and I believe that they should be lost in the ring.
“Before I was doing a lot of long running and long boxing work, like 12-15 rounds on the pads. When I was losing weight I was doing shorter, explosive stuff, doing more interval training. My diet was the most important thing, you can train like a Trojan warrior but not eat right and take three steps forward and two and a half back."
