British boxing superstar Tyson Fury often speaks about mental health and spreads awareness about it.

Tyson Fury shared a video on Twitter, where he spoke about motivation and even captioned Bob Marley’s song ‘Redemption Song’. He said, “Your body doesn’t know about quitting, your body doesn’t know it’s tired. The body doesn’t know that it’s shaking and rattling, it’s your brain, it’s your mind that will quit on you. But you gotta learn how to do mind control.

And if you can do mind control on your own self, you are on to a winner. I know that the feeling of pain and tiredness is temporary, but the feeling of greatness will last on forever.”  

Fury wrote in the caption, “ ‘Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds.’ @bobmarley Greatness Awaits” 

The British boxer had previously revealed that he grew up in an atmosphere where no one talked about mental well-being. Depression even led him to alcoholism and drug abuse.
