His greatest success
Fury “returned from the depths of despair”
Boxing superstar Tyson Fury considers the fight against his mental problems to be far more important than his numerous successes as an athlete.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen "I don't think boxing itself is my greatest victory," the 36-year-old Brit told the streaming provider DAZN ahead of his rematch against Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday evening in Riyadh. He had returned to life after a suicide attempt. "I've come back from the depths of despair," Fury added.
The former three-time world champion had lost the biggest fight of his career against Usyk in May after a split points decision (1:2). His Ukrainian opponent thus secured all four major world championship belts - for the first time since Lennox Lewis more than 25 years ago.
"A piece of cake"
Usyk is the favorite in the rematch. "Going in there and getting a lot of money for doing a boxing match with some clown is a piece of cake compared to what I've been through," Fury continued. The heavyweight boxer had surprisingly defeated Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 and later battled depression and drug use.
