He also went on to reveal how he dealt with sad mental health issues in his last outing with Wilder.
As transcribed by wrestling-edge.com, Fury said:
“It’s been very good to me. I’ve face a lot of low times that had made me unwell at times. But the highs are great, but lows are terrible. After extreme high there is a going to be lower lows for me. So when I beat Wilder last time, I returned home and for the first ten days, the only thing I had was suicidal thoughts.”
We will have to see if The Gypsy King is able to successfully retain his title against Wilder on July 24 in Las Vegas.
