Tyson Fury VS The Gypsy King: My FULL UNTOLD Story | High Performance

I have two different very different

lives I have Tyson Fury who I was born

and then I have the Gypsy King I

couldn't tell him apart this week on

high performance see a new side to the

Gypsy King Tyson Fury I'd always set

myself to be heavyweight champion of the

world there was a lot of trauma and [ __ ]

that went on this is not going to sink

in because I've got Klitschko to be

there wasn't one day that went by that I

didn't want to die or wish death upon

myself I even asked God to kill me how

are people around you responding yeah

they thought depression was this word

they would just say man up pull yourself

together all the [ __ ] that you don't

want to wear your dad said to me you've

got the whole world in your hand you're

still not happy people out there ain't

got bread toy what brought you out of it

but I heard a voice and it said think

about your kids and I heard it say pull

over and that was the moment that I knew

I had to go see these doctors it was

pretty scary not scary as heading

towards that bridge bang it this big eye

curb and break up jumping out the car

and throwing the keys down the road it

was terrifying frightening experienced

I've ever had in my life could imagine

my dad here in that bipolar disorder

anxiety was it good for you for the

first time in your home to have Clarity

for someone to say this is what you've

got this is it I felt like the weight of

the world was lifted off my shoulders

tomorrow we start the regain Mission

this career is going to be so much

different to before and I've actually

grew an obsession with time farewell

goodbye forever Adele this is the end

the punch that finished that fight 94

000 at Wembley it was an epic moment to

go why not stop then so here's what

happened why am I back what is high

performance in your mind Tyson high

performance to me is high octane full

energy full attack Victory and

everything that comes of it that's what

high performance is to me so how do you

develop a mindset that allows you to be

at that level and we will talk in depth

in these podcasts about the fact that it

isn't always plain sailing for you but I think

think

self-belief is probably at the core of

your own version of high performance right

right self-belief

self-belief um

um

from a very very early age

now I want to go quite deep into this so

the listeners can sort of get to know

how I've become such a high performance

fat man

and I would put it down to my mental health

health OCD

OCD addictive

addictive

behavior that I have um

um

obsessive compulsive disorder

so if you're obsessive about anything it

can be unhealthy

that will equal usually success

and I have been and still am

very obsessive

about my job um

um

from a little kid

I've outworked everybody I've ever been with

with

and for a heavyweight that takes a lot

of doing I'm a man 20 stone I can I can

outwork people nine Stone featherweights

in the gym which is unumanly impossible

however I've managed to do it over the years

years um

um

just with the attitude of

no retreat and no surrender

and just keep going and pushing yourself and

and

I have actually found a very comfortable seat

seat

in my most uncomfortable areas and if

you can do that if he can run at the

level of

finding a comfortable position in your

mouth uncomfortable circumstances that's

where you're going to be successful or

or

or high performance in your area and I

have found that I can find solace in the

hardest toughest darkest places

but I've managed to do that from

experience and practice

and you know I test myself a lot all the

time I'm always testing I'm always

testing the Gypsy King Tyson Fury the

man will test the Gypsy King to the

utmost point where explain that

so the way I have sort of structured my

life in able to cope with stuff like

I have two different very different

lives like I have Tyson Fury who I was

born and named

who is a husband a father a son

a mental health patient

about a guy who's interested in boxing

boxing fun

a very flawed character

lazy at times um

um

and then I have the Gypsy King

who has never ever suffered with any problems

problems

who has never had any complications in

his life

who was just mental concrete

and that person is

what I believe unbeatable so tell us

about the origins of that then because

you've grown I'm interested in this one

a couple of areas one is we know your

dad you know he's very notable figure

but they're probably a mum never really

gets mentioned and I'm interested in

that for Tyson Fury yeah the man but

then I'm also interested in when you

develop this mask or this cloak of

invincibility of the Gypsy King so if we

can take it in turn to talk to us about

your mum so before we start talking

about the mother I just want to go start

going like the first book I wrote was

called behind the mask

so in around about

I got lost in between these two characters

characters

Tyson Fury and Gypsy King got entangled

and I couldn't tell him apart

I couldn't live different lives it was

just one life rolled into one

and I knew that that was very unhealthy

allowed to get back to being myself and

split these two things how did that

manifest itself

of doing the same thing and being so

super confident and like I say these

characters have always been separate and

then all of a sudden emerged what

happened then like were you just being I

just I just couldn't snap out of

character I had to just even at home

with Paris even at home even behind the

scenes anything I just couldn't couldn't um

um

to find the two men it was very very

hard for me and I was

it was almost like I was lost in in a

movie script and I couldn't get out of it

it

um I had to be this big Brash confident

um outspoken controversial figure all

the time yeah

yeah and it was unrecognizable for me

wife like someone was this this person

she knew from being 15 16 years old

to seeing like how I'd become this

badass character in a movie and even

like I'm thinking like

this is not me really and I knew if I

was ever gonna

have a happy life I had to get back to being

being

the person I was in the beginning

and try and separate these two things

and it was pretty difficult it was just to

to

a process of

all these things coming together and

then emerging

but I believe it it had to happen to me

this had to happen in order for me to

get through to something and be who I am today

today so

at one point in my career

there was always the expectation of oh

don't worry about anything because

Tyson's going to come and he's going to

publicize everything and the show's

going to be run on his back I was just

like one of those little circus monkeys

that you wind up and he's going to go to

work and he's got everything's going to

be fine

and I almost took that responsibility

don't worry I will do everything just

sit back and relax Watch Me Go

and I become like a performing Act and

there was just no filter there was no

switch off there was no there was no

being me and being not me I was this

performer and

I was going to live up to it you taught

really movingly in the book about this

actually the phrase you use you say I

compartmentalize my mental health

like Odd Socks being shoved in a drawer

explain that to us

you know you just get on with it you

you

I took that responsibility on

and it was almost like a manifestation

over time

and just put it all into practice put it

into play on a daily basis

until it got to the point where I

couldn't be myself anymore I didn't know

what was me and what wasn't I didn't

know how I was before

until I obviously had the mental

breakdown and then I finally realized that

that

to try and live up that that that pace

for such a long time

is very unhealthy with every big high

there's always an even bigger low for me so

so

this character will morph like a Power

Ranger or a

an anime character I'll morph into this

this guy and then there's always massive

lows afterwards like big depressions and

anxiety and everything after these big

events even now even now yeah so after

the Wembley fight obviously was the

higher the highs the lower the lows will

always be for me but I've figured out

how to manage this over time so what I

like to do now is I know it's coming

after these big events I'm going to be

down most of the times I have Suicidal

Thoughts which is kind of crazy even to

sit here and admit today after all these

big events and these these big successes

I'm like proper suicidal for a few days

what do you mean by that like the like

how how seriously are these just like

want to die type of thing but I know

from experience now that

this is going to move in a few days a

week I always say to Paris like after

these fights just let me have a bit of space

space

try not give me too much tasks to do and

I'll be back in a week I'll be I'll be

back to normal in a week or so and do

you stay with the family stay with the

family and what I like to do is I like

to get myself straight back to

Grassroots straight away like the day

after the fight I'll go out of a few

beers of the boys type of thing but I'll

be back doing my jobs like I'll be back

doing the bins and tip runs and people

say sorry on Saturday yesterday fighting

in London like and I'm at the tip the

next day on Sunday in Morecambe with

loads of rubbish and stuff and let's get

myself straight back to normal stuff

like back Monday morning dropping the

kids off and people

it brings me back to normal

it brings me back to normal being who I

am I know I have to be a provider a

carer that sort of person

this is such a valuable conversation for

us to be having because

people as people see the Gypsy King

right because he's the guy that's on the

Telly he's the guy that has the fights

he's the guy in the press conferences

they very rarely see this which is Tyson

Fury the man talking in this way

and people assume if you're successful

everything's easy

I really want you to if you can explain

what you've learned about

why your brain does this because there

will be people listening to this who

have the same thing but it scares the

life out of them they haven't learned to

deal with it and they may well be on the

edge and this may well be the

conversation that makes the difference

for them what would you say to those

people they haven't yet found the

clarity to learn to live with it you

know the first thing that I would say to

anybody is

After experiencing all these things like

you can't do on your own communication

is the key like I was so long I come

from a big tough family of all fighters

and nobody shows emotion or no one

everyone just like keeps everything to

themselves oh everything's great and

that sort of stuff so I know what it's

like not to have anybody to speak to

about anything and I know what it's like

to be almost ashamed of saying like I'm

severely unwellia and I need need help

because needing help for me has been

it's almost like I don't need help from

anything I'm Tyson Fury I fight my way

out of anything

but the sooner I realized I couldn't do

it on my own

the sooner I got back well again and I

think admitting to yourself that you've

got a problem whether you've got an

alcohol problem or a drug problem or

whatever problem you may have acceptance

is the key first you can all see it

but if I don't accept that I've got a

problem that needs working out then I'll

be in denial forever but the sooner I

can come to grips and admit to myself

I've got a problem I can start to

recover from it and my advice to anyone

suffering with any sort of mental health

or any sort of issue is

get straight to the seek medical advice immediately

immediately

because the sooner you go and do that

sooner you figure [ __ ] out like that

then soon you can get back to what is

normal for you

and and I remember I I've been suffering

with these mental health problems from

being a little boy like all my life I remember

remember

what I now know as anxiety

I didn't know back then when I was kid why

why

young like small enough to hide in a wardrobe

wardrobe

and be anxious inside a dark wardrobe

um five years old six years old I'd have

these feelings of like I'm going to be

left behind but no one we wasn't going anywhere

anywhere

it was I didn't understand that I had no

education on Mental Health and

up until a few years ago like it wasn't

this big open widespread thing

throughout the world and there was no

world mental health days and there

wasn't no it's okay not to be okay and

all that it was like no it was all hush

hush under the carpet stuff

and I didn't I didn't understand like

all the way through my life I had this

down one day up the next up and down up

and down up and down anxious anxious

anxious but didn't know what it was and

and

I suppose I I learned how to sort of

handle it with focusing on a certain goal

goal

and the gold that I had the goal I had

was an unreachable goal

and to give myself this unreachable goal

give me Focus right beyond the problems

that I was going through on a daily basis

basis

I I'd always set myself to be

heavyweight champion of the world so

there's seven billion people in the

world so you're a newborn baby what's

the odds in becoming this Impossible

Dream which is an Impossible Dream you

take a newborn baby today and say right

whatever it is right I'm gonna be the

World Heavyweight Champion it's very

unlikely it's an enrichable unreachable dream

dream

and I give myself that dream and focused

on it that much

I wasn't I didn't allow myself to get

caught up with all the mental health

stuff along the way because I always had

Klitschko on my mind

from being 14 years old klitschko's

world heavyweight champion or right up

there you know what I mean I was used to

watching him on TV and

always my plan was always to beat Vladimir

Vladimir

and I always thought to myself whoever

beats Vladimir it's going to become a

legend in this game

such a long Reign so I had a lot of

trauma going in my life

from being that age too

becoming champion

I was very close to my uncle you died

um I was actually in a training camp

when he was when he was when he I was

about to fight I was about to go to a

weigh-in and yeah we got the news that

he died and it was just like oh my God

he injured himself hadn't he in a had an

accident yeah he had an accident he

ended up getting a blood clot in his leg

and and died

um he was a diabetic type type one or

two I can't remember but he um

he died and at the same time he was in

in a coma my wife was in um the hospital

the same the the Women's Hospital next

door have given birth to a dead child so

there was a lot of

unhappiness going on in my life and so

it was uh and I always like put it

always to the back of my mind because I

was thinking I don't have time now to be

upset about this I need to be upset when

I beat Klitschko

if that makes any sense yes so there was

a lot of

a lot of trauma and [ __ ] that went on

that I put to the back of my mind and I

was like I can't focus on any of this

now this wasn't that wasn't the only

stuff there was a lot of other stuff as

well that went on but I was like nope

nothing I can't this is not going to

sink in because I've got Klitschko to be

and until that day I will not focus on

anything other than beating Klitschko

and it was all a process even if it

wasn't fighting Klitschko which I wasn't

at that time I was fighting the final

Eliminator to fight glitch coaches Ora

too yeah but I was wasn't thinking about

chisora or any of these other guys it

was always about becoming World

Heavyweight Champion or nothing and did

you ever plan for after beating

Cleveland no because that was Everest

and I remember just laying there

thinking I hope this is not a dream

please don't wake up in a minute

I'm thinking like and after that that feeling

feeling

thinking like

I was just lying there when my eyes are

open and I couldn't sleep

and I was thinking

like I I will be fulfilled if I die in

her right now like I'm very happy with

what I've done and I'm thinking like I

don't have any more purpose in my life anymore

anymore

like I was thinking right I die now I'm

just that's it I'm happy but at the time

I started two kids my wife just told me

the day before she was pregnant with our

third child

and I've just won the world title and

everything was hunky-dory

but for me it was like that's it I've

achieved my lifelong dream like I'm

gonna die now that's it I was 27. had

everything that was possible to have had

a family I had achievement I had money I

had Fame I had everything

but at that moment

from about 16 months I'd say there

wasn't one day that went by that I

didn't want to die or wish death upon

myself I even asked God to kill me I'm

being religious person as well someone

who's feared Gordon yeah and had that in

my life forever

I'd pray and say why have I woke up

today so here's the question right not

having not having purpose we can all

understand that and all of us have had

moments in our lives where we feel yeah

I'm lacking a bit of direction here

that's a long way away from not wanting

to be on the on the earth so what what

was the reason for for wanting to be

dead now that is the billion dollar

question my friend so if I could answer

that question I wouldn't be a boxer

would I be a multi-billionaire

because if I could pinpoint a moment in

everyone's life where that's what went

wrong let's move that I raise it a

little bit explain it to him and

everything's great now then it won't be

it wouldn't be but did you know it was

irrational like that this wasn't normal

it was like I said earlier on it was

this buildup of all these shitty events

that went on in my life and everything

that I'd been I'd been bottling up over

the years

and at that moment

everything that I put to the back of the

queue I was now thinking about and

mourning for and all that sort of stuff and

and

I always try to explain it like if you

get a bottle of champagne and Shake It Up

Up

it's going to explode sooner or later in

it than to pop the Cork's gonna pop off

but I can't really figure out there

wasn't one single moment in my life that

made that happen it was years and years

and years of wanting something so much

that nothing else mattered and being

very very obsessed with this goal

and then achieving it and it was like

okay that's it now

I'm happy with that but now I'm ready to die

die

I suppose I had that feeling of when

you're an old man and you're retired and

you've achieved everything and you're a

grandparent maybe a great grandparent

and you you're ready to just move on

and I must have had those emotions and Valence

Valence

because I was really ready to maybe make

a like 27 I had everything to live for I

even had kids how selfish was I thinking

I suppose when you're very mentally unwell

unwell

you don't think about anything else

other than self-destruct

self-destruct

and other than yourself because it's a

very selfish thing

um no matter what I've tried to think

about like think about my kids think

about me why I think about everything

that it didn't matter to me

because a normal straight thinking

person would say this is madness you've

got all this family going on even you

don't want a box to get boxing

live for your family you have everything

going on for someone who's not thinking well

well

can't put that into reason that doesn't

it's not a a thought that I would I

would take on board and process so how's

mental health viewed from the people

around you so you describe now growing

up people didn't talk about this kind of

thing so when they're hearing you have

these conversations or talk about I'm

going to finish I could die tomorrow if

I needed to how are people around you

responding yeah again no experience on

it they didn't understand they wasn't

educated on it they were just like guys

he's a silly person he's like wanting

attention or he's like he's got me dad

said to me even in a circle guard me

Brothers No One understood what I was

going through didn't know what

Depression was or so what were they

saying he thought depression was this word

word

or whatever they would just saying man

up pull yourself together all the [ __ ]

that you don't want to wear yep

think about this you got this going on

your dad said to me you've got the whole

world in your hand and you're still not

happy there's people out there who

haven't got bread to eat

you can see how that makes you feel

worse though

and what was the effects on you when

you're hearing that you're looking

around yeah I was thinking like why

can't I shake this off like

yeah I should be able to I should be

able to blow it out my nose of this and

I was making myself worse thinking

why can't I shift this why not

I'm trying to get rid of it all the time

and he just went from bad to worse

people will never really understand the

extent of how bad I was I was pretty

[ __ ] up

um and what was the worst moment yeah

the lowest point the lowest points

obviously is the attempting suicide

but before that was in the car was it

yeah but before this

for quite a long time I was hearing

and that is a frightening experience so

tell us about that what do you mean by

that what that whose voice was it I

don't know what they're saying I don't

know whose voice it was but it was a

clear voice

and it would be telling me to kill

myself on all sorts it was like I was

possessed by a demon or something

without sounding like a crazy person on

someone who's watched a horror movie

right it was a terrifying experience I

can tell you that it was absolutely

horrifying so where were you

I'd be letting me bed and I could hear

all these voices and I could hear

screams and all sorts of [ __ ] going on I

was like oh my God

it got to a point where I couldn't go to

bed anymore sober because when I was

absolutely steaming I didn't hear these

voices right and

and

during like my my

normal moments sanest moments in life I

I do not fear anything I don't feel

dying I don't fear

anything is not a scary thing to me I

don't give a [ __ ] about nothing really however

however

at this moment I was scared like a

little child

had been in bed like this all anxious

and holding my hands tight and grinding

me to oh I was on a right state

and I figured out like if I go and have

a few drinks

I can just like sort of knock out and go

to bed and

and not not feel yeah not hear these

voices and not feel anxious and can I

ask like were you abuser before this

when you're on the journey up to

classical no you'd never you were a big

drinker no no well I had a couple of

drinks in that but it wasn't a big a big

drinker yeah so good

I figured out that that's how to make

this problem go away short time but I

have to keep doing that for a long

period of time

obviously it's a mask it only masks the

problem for a minute and then you wake

up the next day or the week later and

you're even worser deeper in a darker

hole and at this time I was getting

fatter by the day as well

and I believe a lot of my problems are

Eating Disorders as well

and I'm always ballooning up in weight

all the time if I don't concentrate on

it forever every day then I just get

fatter by the day even today like I can

go from like 19 Stone 10 to I'd say I'd

be 30 Stone in one year if I didn't eat

train every day like a lunatic and he

tried try to be sensible as well

so I'm getting fatter by the day I'm

drinking every day I'm hearing voices in

my mind I don't want to live anymore I

don't care about anything

I'll tell him in a dark place

people say to me oh you lost 10 stone

and you come back

weight loss is a very easy thing for me

like I've even in before I fought Klitschko

Klitschko

I walked into camp at 24 Stone 10 pounds

and I thought glitch got 18 stone three

12 weeks later

so I've always been able to

get weight on and off can I jump out

though sorry I don't mean to be rude but

I'm intrigued like you diagnosing a lot

of this stuff now like eating disorders

and some of these mental health issues

but I want to go right back to the start

of your journey you've referenced some

of the trauma you had like Huey and

Paris having a stillborn baby what's

happened to you in that period that now

you can look back and see some of these

seeds of dysfunction was starting to be

sown is there anything you can identify

what do you mean like the moment that I

I could realize what was going on but

just growing up you know you described

in that moment of like locking yourself

in a wardrobe and fighting you're going

to get left behind you know yeah and so

the seeds of these kinds of dysfunctions

are often sold in childhood something happens

happens

I truly believe that all of these these

things start from

a childhood well you tell me what a five

or six year old like I've got a five or

six year old at home

what has he got to be anxious about but

that's what I'm asking is it Dad I don't

think there was a trigger point no right

could it be possible that

that

you're born with this and it's developed

over time right I've like I think so so

I have an anxious daughter and she's

nine years old now and she exactly sure

it's very interesting you're describing

from an adult perspective knowing it's

irrational people saying you'll be fine

making it worse

she's she she's exactly the same we

leave the house and it's a totally

irrational fear that we're going out and

then when we say you'll be fine she's

another makes me feel worse because I

know I'll be fine but I have this

feeling in my stomach like I know I'll

be fine dad but I'm scared I'm scared

witless because you're leaving the house

and I believe that it is these are

things we're born with but I also

believe right that

everything has a price so I think

there's a very good case here that without

without

all of the emotional challenges that

you've been through

there's no way we're sitting here

talking to you now it was

the heavyweight champion of the world I

think that you don't get one without the

other do you believe yeah I do believe

you're um probably correct because

everything we have to experience is all

a part of our journey like a jigsaw

piece but I'm just trying to go back now

I'm searching the mind for

traumatic moments as a child and

I can go back to 1997 we had a sister

born I mean mother had 14 kids

and 10 of them died

and forth okay now yeah that's horrific

isn't it so imagine like all these miscarriages

miscarriages

some of them were born some of them were

still born and these these after you're

born so you're like in between after

before all this sort of stuff yeah

and I remember like me that she said oh

they were all boys and and when she was

finally pregnant with her daughter

the last one and

and

this this daughter was like ah we can't

wait we're getting a sister finally

after all these years

and um

so my mother was like fully pregnant

like heavily like nine months ready

because well she went into the hospital

she had the baby and the baby was unwell

he had she had like lung problems and

underdeveloped lungs and whatever anyway

she ended up living for a few days and

I'm dying and it was a

was a horrible sort of experience so so

nine years old that's quite a horrific

moment isn't it but yeah yeah I always

remember that so that might have been a

could have been a trigger trigger moment

in my life but

was that the beginning of it

I don't think so but what I mean I

believe I remember being in that

wardrobe before all this so maybe that

was a an adjective to it all as well

yeah however I can't pinpoint Acura see

what was the event or moment that made

this happen so what are you doing

different than with your kids than what

maybe you experienced as a child that

you think might help them avoid some of

these mental health challenges so yeah like

like

with our kids like we've had I think

we've had like

and we've sort of kept that away from

the kids kids don't need to know about

all that sort of stuff right so if we

have a problem like adult problems

I I don't let the kids know about it um

um

how old's your oldest my oldest she's 13

today happy birthday to her yeah have

you shared with her what you're sharing

with us does she know about her dad's struggles

struggles

she knows about that struggles but not I

don't think she really understands

in-depth problems so we had this little

moment the other night like I go all my

kids in and me and Paris sat down on the

bed and we asked them like

do you ever say he was arguing or

but well when's the last time you saw

Mom and Dad fighting

and we were surprised at the results of

this quote they couldn't remember

Venezuela remembered it a time about

four or five years ago

decent and other than that

they haven't really they couldn't

mention anything that they've seen such

as I was very proud of that moment

and yeah I like that's a very good thing

for me because the last thing that I

want my kids to experience is is their

parents problems like all relationships

of arguments and ups and downs and packs

and forwards well that's should be

private from the kids and was it for you

for me it wasn't no right for me as a

kid it was my dad was up and down it was

arguments you know what I mean my dad

was a bit of a party animal back in his

day a bit of a Jack to Lad boxer up and

down Jack about town and all that yeah

so you'd be going on Benders for two

days and coming back I mean mother would

be screaming and you can imagine yeah

so I suppose that might have had a an

effect on it all as well and and I just

didn't want that for my kids

now I know if I'm listening to this

conversation I'm thinking well

I've Just Seen Tyson fight recently I

know that there's talk about him

carrying on fighting or maybe not

carrying on fighting but he seems okay

yeah so we've talked about the darkest

moments and you know you've gone on

record of saying that you were in your

sports car you looked at a bridge and

you thought

I'm going to kill myself yeah

what brought you out of it

again this is going to sound strange

but I heard a voice again and it said

don't do this

think about your kids growing up with an

old dad and you're going to be labeled

as a weak piece of [ __ ] for taking an

easy way out

and leaving everybody and abandoning everybody

and I pulled over and at that time my

heart was beating at me but it was in

the zone the death zone

and I [ __ ] I feel all the tears coming

down and I was like I was

hyperventilating everything and that was

the moment

that I knew I had to go see these

doctors straight away regardless of what

anybody thought of me

and whatever it was going to be

I had to go and find my way back to to

the light and how scary it was going to

seek help

it was pretty scary not scary as heading

towards that bridge 180 miles an hour however

however

it was pretty scary because this was

going to be the first time that

I was going to go seek medical advice

and tell some strange manner in my mind

at the time was just going to go and

tell his mates in the pub later just

thought every Weight champion of the

world he's the right [ __ ] you've told

me all these problems having a few beers

not thinking this man's a professional

doctor private confidentiality like this

is how irrational I was thinking

thinking this doctor's gonna go out of

his piles later and divulge all my

private business

so I'm thinking

this is going to be crazy so I just

thought you know what I don't give a

[ __ ] what he's gonna do I'm gonna go

there I've done some research about

places to go and people to see

and I started going to these

to the I don't know if they call them

psychiatrists no it's Americans or

psychologists or psychiatrists yeah and

and

my dad won't remember the shame but

maybe the little brother you were with

me at the time after this

car situation my dad and my brothers

were living with me in my house in

Morgan Lancaster

because they thought like he's gonna do

something bad to himself and [Music]

[Music]

before that a little bit before this I

had this first time ever had this

anxiety attack and a panic attack at the

same time

that day

before the everything else

this was a day that I was going to die

for sure like I thought it was on a

heart attack where were you I was I went

out with me mate Dave all day we're just

doing normal jobs because at this time I

wasn't boxing I was fat as anything I

was I was unwell so we made David come

down and take me out for the day and

just like he he does like uh windows and

doors and conservatories and stuff and

we just drive around and like he'd go

like giving his uh quotations and stuff

and seeing the customers and whatever

and I'd just go around for the for the

banter with him for the day and I

remember we went out and I I dropped him

back off at ease

and Paris had told me he said right it

is five minutes away

so I thought he made Davis he was only

he lives two miles from mine and as I

left him

like a cartoon

and I was thinking what the [ __ ] is this

like I was thinking

I can't make it back home

I'm not gonna make this home and like

everything was like in cartoon type

world yeah and I was thinking wow

I've got to pull over I've got I was

thinking like I've gotta pull over I

can't see and then me my may I vision

went to like looking through a tube like this

this

so I I was in a in the car I pulled it

over and I'm right in the middle of the

road it was a big high curb like that

and I tried pulling him banging this big

eye curb

and if I can't pull over here gotta pull

over a bit further so I've got got past

the like the McDonald's I drive past

pulled into the first lay-by

I remember

pulling up and break up jumping out the

car and throwing the keys down the road

I like her set off running

I'm like what the [ __ ] is going on this

is this is the crazy Moment by the way

I pulled this car over

still moving I pulled down break up

jumped out the door type of thing as

it's still going he's out threw him down

the street

and set off running down the footpath away

away

and I'm thinking

[ __ ] you doing go get your keys you've

left your keys in the middle of Road run

back got the keys

and then I'm running down the road again and

and

I can feel my heart like I've had a

heart attack I've had a stroke may I

have my vision's gone

I can't breathe I'm dying and I'm thinking

thinking

I'm walking I'm I'm literally waiting to

die and I've been calling to God I said

please God forgive me and me sins I'm

thinking like I'm about to make me make a

a

this was hit like this was it a snow

coming back let's just say I'm dying and

at that moment after I'd set down prayers

like forgive me of these sins I was

about to to put dead yeah

after that moment the only thing I

thought about was my kids

there was no like life flashing before

me and I saw all my childhood and all

that shite this was like imminent death

100 I'm gonna die

and the only thing I thought about

before death was how many kids are going

to survive on their own

and I've really [ __ ] things up

and I'm thinking why have I not died why

haven't I died I'm not I'm having a

heart attack but I'm not dying and I

said to people walking down the streets

I'm having an attack please call an ambulance

ambulance

sweater God this is the truth you were

in such a that this is a real Mental

Health crisis this is a breakdown yes

but at the time I'm having a heart

attack I've gone blind I can't see

hardly I phoned David said Dave come and

get me quick I'm having a heart attack

and you'd had a good day with him you'd

have yeah normal day like normal

and I don't know what brought on or what

happened and he said where are you I

said I'm just around the corner from

yours come and get me I'm on the main

road he come in the car but I'd already

flagged the van down and I said to the

guy the driver please take me to the

hospital I'm having a heart attack so

jumps in this build as well and he's

like what the [ __ ] was going on mate I'm

taking Josh but I said whoa there's me

I'm jumping out with him jumped out of

that van got in his van and

and

I'm thinking he knew what was going on

because he knew he knew about panic

attacks and stuff Dave yeah

and he said to me calm down you're

having a panic attack and he was driving

slow and I said why the [ __ ] are you

driving storm of an attack you silly

bastard get to the [ __ ] hospital

he's like you're not having a heart attack

attack

you're having a panic attack I said I'm

Gonna Knock You spark out driving his

wheel I said get me to the [ __ ]

hospital I said if I asked you my best

mate I said if you tell me you're on

heart attack I'm gonna get you straight

there he's doing 30 miles an hour

he goes you don't need Hospital you need

to go for a walk

which is not what you want to hear and

I'm like okay this is it then you're

involved in this plot to kill me too

then are you oh wow you went there so

then I'm thinking right this is my best

mate in the world been my best mate for

the last 10 years

uh before this as well

yeah now I'm thinking right

this is the plot now he's trying to kill me

me

so I was thinking right he's going to

pull this fan up I'm just gonna have to

knock him out cold and I'm gonna have to

run away because he's obviously trying

to kill me he's going to try and push me

in a river or when he takes me on this walk

walk

he's gonna try and do me

so I'm thinking all these things I said Dave

Dave

I said do you know he'd try anything out

on me I said I'm gonna do you he's like

what are you talking about I said I've

told you to take me to the hospital and

you want to take me on a walk

I said you are trying to kill me

and it's like right I'm taking to the hospital

hospital

anyway he's putting the radio on I'm

thinking I can hear voices in the radio

speaking to me I was like proper gun I

got to the hospital

I don't run into the hospital and I said

to the people I said check me out I said

someone's drugged me or I've had a heart attack

attack

I said take me blood now I said I might

have Anthrax in my system so this is

what I'm thinking all these crazy things

see but see I'm struck when you describe

it as crazy because that to me as you

describe it it's just somebody's

seriously unwell yeah you know like you

won't describe somebody with cancer as

being crazy do you know what I mean like

this was the most terrifying experience

yes I've ever ever experienced

I've ran into a hospital full of people

the heavyweight champion of the world

people know everybody knows me in the

room I don't like asking them up to

check my system because I think I've

ever had a heart attack or I've been

drugged seriously drugged

because it nothing made sense it was so

only rational yeah yeah erratic I didn't

know what was going on and this all

happened before you then had the

incident where you considered driving

into the bridge

around about the same kind of time yeah

but this is before actually before

you've sought

this is after that bridge I believe yeah

yeah before you've gone to ask for help

yeah yeah this is after that bridge moment

moment and

and

the doctors said sit down check me blood

checked everything out monitors on EG

whatever they are all over me

he said you've not had a heart attack

you're totally fine there's no drugs in

your system

but you need to calm down the heartbeat

was going like 300 some a minute

and he said you're gonna you don't count

that you are gonna have a heart attack

so whenever you give me these pills to

take calm down you're totally fine and

the doctor had doctor come in and spoke

to me and he said like

have you got a lot of stress going on in

your life I said yeah

this on the other loads of things going

on at the time it was like I was

supposed to be preparing for Vladimir

let's go rematch imagine going in the

ring with him after this while this is

all going on

they're trying to take me belts off me

they want me to fight and I'm trying to

barely survive to survive to live

I've got my managers and all that yeah

people around me trying to get me to go

back fighting and I'm I'm trying to

and so I had a lot of stuff going on I

had court cases going on people trying

to sue me because I'm out the ring and

I'm not fighting

prescribe me with these medications [Music]

[Music] um

and I've always been against like taking

medication and stuff like

my granddad was always on pills all his

life and

I don't think it helped him to be fair

and anyway they give me this bag full of

pills and anyway went back to the house

and I said to me dad look

I still wasn't I wasn't right I said

I've someone's tried to kill me today

I said

someone is trying to kill me

I said I've heard all voices in the radio

radio

my dad's like oh my God oh my God he's

he's concentrating on what I'm saying

but obviously he thinks scary for them

and we all sat downstairs in the front

room on the floor this is our scam

heavyweight champion for the world 27

years old and I'm sleeping downstairs in

the house with me Dad and me brothers

because I'm absolutely terrified I'd go

to all the windows and doors and check

them all bolt and everything and

barricade all the door um

um

why are you doing this like who are you

afraid of who's coming

he doesn't like thinking someone might

be coming for him

but he's in there when you're describing

it like like

the fact that you've repeated this out

was the heavyweight champion of the

world and you go that's the Gypsy King

talking yeah you're actually a 27 year

old seriously yeah

so this time I'm still

don't know what's going on like

I think I'm having a heart attack a stroke

stroke

I was in a severely very bad part of my life

life

and the last thing on my mind was boxing

or anything like that um

and from then it was like

I need to I need to see some doctors if

they're gonna have I'm gonna have to go

on medication I'm gonna have to do it

whatever's gonna be the remedy for this

I have to do hmm and

and

I remember that like a few days had gone

by and I felt

back not 100 but I felt back like not

not

Panic attacker node

and I remember like saying parasol let's

just book a little holiday away for the

family me and you and the kids let's go

away for a few days a week

let's go to my favorite place south of

France it's always been like a special

place for me

I remember going there and as soon as I

got there

it started again

anxiety like mad

was after two days and she's at this car

up and we have to go

I was dead against taking these pills

but she was carrying them with her yeah

and I was out two two nights two days

I'd not slept I was like maybe like

looking through the windows and stuff

checking the doors and

so scared and on that the third day of

having no sleep I was so tired but I

wouldn't go to sleep wouldn't it

wouldn't let me switch I was praying to

God I said please let me go to sleep

please let me go to sleep

two days two nights no sleeping just

like constantly working man going

all through the night

I said to Paris give me them pills

and I took these pills and I just went

push out like I like

and it felt like the best sleep ever

and I'll win the next day we flew back

and that was that was it that was when I

went and got the I got some people to

got meet them so tell us about what

moment that surrender then when you've

decided you've hit rock bottom and you

know that you need you need help you

can't do it on your own you're not

Superman tell us about that moment when

you go like what did you ask for I just

wanted I just wanted knowledge I started

researching on the internet outside

watching videos

I I spoke to some um quite a few people

Dr psychiatrists all these people and

like I said the first day one day with

me darling Brothers

and I think to myself this is not going

to be for me that's telling this man all

my problem me Dad's there listening to

me as well and I'm I'm like why did you

feel the need to go with them as opposed

to going on your own I just felt like I

didn't know what to expect and like they

wasn't going to leave me it was just

like this was a problem like something's

going to happen with him I imagine how

scared they was like

having the responsibility of having this

giant person

who's very unwell and about to do some

damage to himself

right so I went there

um that sort of explained it over a

period of time that a normal person's

life might be like this on a graph but

your life is like this and

and

anyway after speaking to him and going

back and forth after the first day I was

like I'm probably not going to go back

there but by the time Friday it was

coming I was like I can't wait to go

back here now I'm looking forward to

this it was like I was going on holiday

or something and what was it that was

happening in those meetings that that

moved you to that it was just I suppose

the education of what was going on and

they explained to me what was happening and

and

it was so refreshing to know that I

wasn't on my own up there and this

wasn't some disease that only I had yeah

and that it was controllable

controllable

because I thought I was

only on my way to a padded room and

nothing else ever was ever going to

happen to me

I thought I was gonna have a straight

jacket on in a padded room somewhere and

I was gonna go like cuckoo cuckoo that

sort of feeling and I was terrified I'm

not a barbarous or ashamed to say that I

was more scared than a four-year-old girl

girl

um at these moments and

and

it was the most terrifying frightening

experience I've ever had in my life

and I hope to God I never have to go

back there and I'm not quite in a short

I'm not quite any short I've got plenty

of time

same time

I went

um we seeked out the best

psychologist in this country yep

so we drove there made me Dad

we weren't seen this lady

um she had a big file of papers like

that we spent like two hours in a room

she was asking me questions taking Mark

and all this sort of stuff

um when it had finished she said oh

that's done now Tyson can I have a world

with you John

and she said to me dad he's very high

suicide risk

and she said because he's got faith in God

God

if he didn't have that he would have

killed himself already

and he needs watching at all times type

of thing so can you imagine that

and in that about a couple of days goes

by and we got this like report back and

everything to do all the tests I mean

all sort of stuff and I come back with

bipolar disorder

um anxiety paranoia

paranoia

or there was a load of other things LCD

uh was it good for you for the first

time in your whole Clarity for someone

to say this is what you've got this is

it like

these are going to be your medication

I also could think of was my Grandad who

had to take these blue pills every day

forever right

I'm done thinking I'm [ __ ] [ __ ] here

here

I don't know what's going to happen I'm

gonna be

drooling on the mouth in a rocking chair

back and forward [Music]

[Music]

and anyway

that wasn't the turning point for me

this is gonna sound

mud but after all it's even seen these

doctors going and being assessed by the

leading person in the country

and downloading all the information in

my mind and all that

I suppose the turning point was this all

are the big influence on the turning

point I would say because after having

this Clarity and understanding a bit

more what was going on and knowing that

there's a lot of people out there in

this boat too this is an effect yeah so

the turning point was I speak about it

in my first book and I spoke about it

very clear

and very openly

and I was out I went out after all this

I still decided to go out because I

wasn't right

I still was very unwell

and I went out for beers because

because

believe it or not every time I'd had

four or five pints

I didn't have any problems there was no

ailments I was I felt fine I didn't have

any mental health didn't have depression

and I wasn't anxious

so I'm not feeling good I'm going to go

out I'm going to have a few beers I'm

gonna come back and get to bed how soon

is this after this diagnosis in good

this was like

suppose a good one would have been

earlier on

um like late maybe

September August September

and when the Philippines late September

and this night it was Halloween night

2017 right 31st of October

I goes out here in Lancaster and as

Yates says it was not yates's anymore

and I went out dressed as a skeleton

glow in the dark because I was

embarrassed of people had a full face

mask on as if people wasn't gonna know

it was me seven foot guy walking around Morgan

Morgan

yeah I was embarrassed I wouldn't take

my mask off I was drinking it through a

mask there's beer

and I looked around myself

and I saw all these young people

at the beginning of their life because

Lancaster's a University Town

and all these students all dressed up as

as whatever they was

fancy dress

at this moment I only had this much off

the top of a pint I've had this Moment

of clarity and Sanity and everything was

like so crystal clear to me

I was like wow

it's like I'd been asleep and I'd woke up

and I said what the [ __ ] are you doing here

here

with all these kids I've probably only

been 28 myself at the time

you've had the world in your arms you

prick I just want thinking to myself I

hope you don't mind swearing on this podcast

podcast

I know you've chucked it all away

to come and drink a beer in Yates as in

Morecambe Lancaster

go home right now this is I'm thinking

myself in my mind

put the panda bear down straight home

comes in about nine o'clock Paris is

thinking he's gonna go out all night and

coming back type of thing

so don't she said who's that said it's me

me

went upstairs took my skeleton suit off

I remember

getting down on my knees praying to God

I remember reading George Foreman's

automography years ago oh yeah and he

said in it like when he's his nephew got

diagnosed ill with illness he got down

on his knees and he prayed to God and it

helped it worked so I thought I'm going

to do that I've always been

a believer in Christianity and stuff

like I've always practiced it and always

followed it and all that sort of stuff

and any tiny time trouble would happen

I'd always turn to God for help

and I remember getting upstairs I was in

The Underpants fat as [ __ ] 28 stone Plus

and I remember calling out to God I was

crying again I'm a proper crier

um I could feel all my chest all wet and

I felt like I was down there for an

eternity but I probably wasn't I've

probably only down there for like 10 minutes

minutes

and I got up to me fee and I just felt

like a Welter away I felt like I was 10

stone in weight

I felt like the weight of the world

was lifted off my shoulders

and for the first time in nearly three years

years

I knew what I was gonna do

and I called out to Paris like a child

at Christmas Paris

she said what

tomorrow we start the regain mission

and she wasn't

she didn't believe me because I talked

about this every time I had a few beers

and I come back and be Heavyweight

Championship because I wasn't unwell one

had a few beers I was totally fine just drunk

drunk

but obviously the boy who cried wolf a

million times nobody believes it and the

next day I'd get up and obviously not do it

it

well this time I wasn't drunk and I

meant it and I knew

but all the obstacles in my life

were about to be moved

I remember saying to God

I said please God

I said if there's a way back to boxing

I said this is where I want to be

I want to come back to boxing

if there's any possible way

that you can bring me back to boxing

that's what I want to be

and at that time

I had I was 10 nil down before kickoff

I had a drug case going on where you cut

which turned out to be a lot of [ __ ]

is that the bullmate one yeah yeah I had

I elevated levels and angelon in my

system right another shot

I also had suspension from the boxing

border control

RIT off by the top woman in the country

absolutely disabled nearly what were those

those

huh what were the what were they good

enough they suspended me license my

license was gone under mental health

right right you couldn't legally fight

in this situation it was done

so our that the the case where you cut I

had no license from the boxer border

control I'm I'm deemed medically unfit

by the leading woman in the country

28 stone in weight

hearing voices in my mind still at that

moment that time yeah

and couldn't sleep at night without the

lights on in the bedroom

even then even then

but I woke after that day after that moment

moment

I knew that all them obstacles

were going to be moved gone

and umpire said you can't box even if

you wanted to even if he was 18 Stone

right now he got box there's too much

going on I said everything's gonna be

all right don't worry I'm going to

become World Heavyweight Champion again

the next day I've got I even got the

video on my phone and I'm going to show

you in a minute yeah I'd love to see it

the next day the video of what the video

of the Turning Point can we well I'll

show you in a minute yeah um

um

I guess means right suit on

and I was gonna go for a run down the

canal near mine obviously I couldn't run

I was too heavy I didn't know that at

the time

and I couldn't run half a mile

so I started walking

and I'm scrolling down Instagram as I

was walking and I saw a video of Deontay Wilder

Wilder saying

saying

I saw Tyson Fury recently and he's a

mess he's a fat whatever and he's never

coming back and it's such a travesty

that this fight didn't happen

I was thinking

you know what mate I'm going back and

I'm knocking you out and I remember

calling Ben Davidson on that day because

I worked with Ben earlier on before the

panic attack for one of Billy Joe's

fights in Spain

and I called Ben and I said Ben

I said I want you to train me and I'm

going to come back and I'm going to get

my license and I'm gonna think it's

going to be all right and he was like

you've got all this going on in your

life like probably not a good time I

said I promise you it's all gonna go

away quite quickly and everything's

gonna be all right and I'm going to get

back and I'm going to get back boxing

and I did yeah now can I ask you here

because I'm I see your career in two

parts the first part

and then the second one two careers but

you've described how on that first

career you were obsessive about becoming

the heavyweight champion of the world

and you almost ignored all these mental

health challenges and all the other

stuff that eventually caused this crash

so you've had this sense of Mission to

get there and yet it's the same sense of

mission that you now decide and he's

going to lift you out of the dark place

you're in yeah what were you doing differently on the second mission then

differently on the second mission then that was going to avoid the same crash

that was going to avoid the same crash I felt like I had the experience

I felt like I had the experience and the know-how

and the know-how to overcome the challenges

to overcome the challenges and this is gonna sound strange as if

and this is gonna sound strange as if this fall interview wasn't already

while I Was preparing to fight Safa Safari

Safari in Manchester he's back

in Manchester he's back we'll get I've sort of skipped a little

we'll get I've sort of skipped a little bit anyway

bit anyway the boxing border control before this

the boxing border control before this they said to me right you want to come

they said to me right you want to come back great

back great if you can get made medically fit Again

if you can get made medically fit Again by the same person he wrote you off

by the same person he wrote you off before

before we'll give you a license but I was

we'll give you a license but I was thinking never in a million years so I

thinking never in a million years so I had to get all that the court case went

had to get all that the court case went away

away they decided it wasn't gonna fulfill it

they decided it wasn't gonna fulfill it any longer and so overnight bang within

any longer and so overnight bang within a week

a week no court case

went sold psychiatrist person again and I was totally fine

and I was totally fine stamped approved the boxing border

stamped approved the boxing border control revoked reinstated me license

control revoked reinstated me license then I also needed to do was lose some

then I also needed to do was lose some weight

weight sort of in a short space of time

sort of in a short space of time I'd gone from having no hope at all

I'd gone from having no hope at all to being just fat and mentally unwell

to being just fat and mentally unwell still and skipping forward again back to

still and skipping forward again back to the Safa Safari fight

the Safa Safari fight like I was still very unwell but I knew

like I was still very unwell but I knew I had a mission to do and I knew that

I had a mission to do and I knew that the only way back to happiness for me

the only way back to happiness for me was through training and unboxing and

was through training and unboxing and the more I trained the better I felt and

the more I trained the better I felt and every day that went by was I was going

every day that went by was I was going to get better and better and better

to get better and better and better and

and I'd have very good days and very very

so you're a boxing connoisseur yeah two names for you then Marciano and Hagler

names for you then Marciano and Hagler yeah two fighters that when they've got

yeah two fighters that when they've got out never came back have you studied

out never came back have you studied them have you explored how they did it

them have you explored how they did it I'm not gonna sit here and lie

how did they do it I haven't I know Hagler was very pissed off with

the result of um him and her uh Leonard and he had a bad taste in his mouth

and he had a bad taste in his mouth about boxing he didn't want to be around

about boxing he didn't want to be around it because he thought he was cheated so

it because he thought he was cheated so he walked away yeah feeling terrible

he walked away yeah feeling terrible about it all but remember that did a

about it all but remember that did a book on him where we where we wrote

book on him where we where we wrote about him and he eventually

about him and he eventually went gave himself a new challenge

went gave himself a new challenge like I think the issue here is you can't

like I think the issue here is you can't compare any other boxer to this story

compare any other boxer to this story because no other books are has been so

because no other books are has been so low so sad

low so sad so painful exactly it's pretty different

so painful exactly it's pretty different it's a different story it was

it's a different story it was interesting this isn't about what he

interesting this isn't about what he what he did did he accept

what he did did he accept no but so I'm not comparing it what I'm

no but so I'm not comparing it what I'm saying is these are people that have had

saying is these are people that have had an addiction to you like you've had that

an addiction to you like you've had that they've had they've been addicted to the

they've had they've been addicted to the pain in the spotlight the training and

pain in the spotlight the training and yet they still got out and never came

yet they still got out and never came back that's the key why I mentioned them

back that's the key why I mentioned them so hugler went to give himself a new

so hugler went to give himself a new challenge so we moved to Milan where he

challenge so we moved to Milan where he didn't speak the language

didn't speak the language he pursued a career in films for a while

he pursued a career in films for a while that gave him that it was almost like

that gave him that it was almost like the methadone

the methadone treatment you know of like he was still

treatment you know of like he was still in the spotlight but he was having to

in the spotlight but he was having to learn lots of other new challenges to do

learn lots of other new challenges to do that you know Marciano did something

that you know Marciano did something similar in terms of pursued a career

similar in terms of pursued a career still in the spotlight

still in the spotlight but without having to do the hard yards

but without having to do the hard yards of the training and the cumulative

of the training and the cumulative effects of the damage that was done then

effects of the damage that was done then 100 percent

100 percent but again they probably wasn't mentally

but again they probably wasn't mentally unwell was I I think you're less

unwell was I I think you're less addicted to boxing and more you can't

addicted to boxing and more you can't allow yourself to go where you were when

allow yourself to go where you were when you were sitting in your sports car that

you were sitting in your sports car that day or when you were in that's that's a

day or when you were in that's that's a scary moment that I think I think that's

scary moment that I think I think that's what's happening here and the only way

what's happening here and the only way that you will ever be able to walk away

that you will ever be able to walk away from boxing

from boxing is if you can be mentally happy

is if you can be mentally happy not being a boxer if you know we spoke

not being a boxer if you know we spoke at the very start of this conversation

at the very start of this conversation yeah Tyson Fury is this person the Gypsy

yeah Tyson Fury is this person the Gypsy King is the is the guy in the in the

King is the is the guy in the in the boxing ring

boxing ring I think we've probably ended it by

I think we've probably ended it by realizing that to the public they're two

realizing that to the public they're two people

people for you they're exactly the same person

for you they're exactly the same person and you have to be able to remove the

and you have to be able to remove the Gypsy King from your life yeah to let

Gypsy King from your life yeah to let him go forever let him go forever and

him go forever let him go forever and just and to realize that Tyson Fury

just and to realize that Tyson Fury is not weak because he had mental health

is not weak because he had mental health problems he's strong because he got

problems he's strong because he got through them

through them he's not lacking focus in his life

he's not lacking focus in his life because he's got numerous children and a

because he's got numerous children and a wife that loves him yeah he isn't

wife that loves him yeah he isn't lacking support because he's got an

lacking support because he's got an amazing Network around him and he still

amazing Network around him and he still mates with the people he was at school

mates with the people he was at school with somehow you've got to realize that

with somehow you've got to realize that you are way stronger than you are weaker

you are way stronger than you are weaker and the fact you've been through a

and the fact you've been through a mental health struggle shows how strong

mental health struggle shows how strong you are
