Tyson Fury has gone through a lot of ups and downs in his life. Especially after beating Wladimir Klitschko and becoming the WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO, and The Ring heavyweight champion of the world. Fury went into a slump and weighed 400 pounds at one point. He also battled a drinking addiction as well as a drug addiction.

Tyson ‘The Gypsy King’ Fury revealed how working out and going to the gym everyday helps keep his mental health balanced and also describes what happens when he stops working out. “We have to have like a boundary in your life, everything works off, and for me it’s all around training. If I don’t train, I go from there to there really quickly, from to high to low in a flash.

“Within a week, I’d be totally down, depressed, and within two weeks I’d be suicidal without training. After having the experience of this for years and years and years, I know that this is my savior. Like coming in the gym, training, being around other positive people and spreading positivity.

“A lot of time being down and negative in me life, and I’ve been in a dark place for long long periods of time and for me to come here and train and get fit and get and get paid to stay in shape, I’m absolutely living me best life.”
