Heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury has opened up about his darkest mental health battles in a trailer for an upcoming Netflix documentary, admitting there were times he "didn't want to live." The revelation comes in a preview for the streaming platform's new series chronicling the British fighter's life and career.
Fury, a two-time world heavyweight champion, has previously spoken publicly about his struggles with depression, anxiety, and substance abuse following his 2015 victory over Wladimir Klitschko. The documentary appears to delve deeper into those personal crises, with the trailer showing an emotional Fury reflecting on moments when he questioned his will to continue living.
The 36-year-old boxer, known as "The Gypsy King," returned from a near three-year absence to reclaim world titles and establish himself as one of the sport's most compelling figures. His candor about mental health has been widely credited with helping reduce stigma in professional sports, particularly in the hyper-masculine world of boxing.
Netflix has not yet announced a release date for the documentary series, which is expected to cover Fury's rise from Irish Traveller roots to global superstardom, his controversial 2018 draw with Deontay Wilder, and his subsequent trilogy victories over the American.
