Fury has been a passionate promoter for mental health. Moreover, he had mentioned that he would never endorse gambling because of its effects on mental health. He said, “I am against advertising gambling, alcohol, CBD oils, and so forth and so on. It leads to mental health struggles, in my opinion, and can cause people to commit suicide.”
