Tyson Fury health: Paris opens up about husband’s ‘ongoing’ mental health struggles
TYSON FURY’S wife Paris has unveiled details about her husband’s mental health struggles ahead of the release of her book Love and Fury: The and Mayhem of life with Tyson. Speaking on This Morning, Paris explained her husband’s mental health issues are “ongoing”, but the heavyweight champion has things “under control”.
The book, due for release on October 28th, recounts Tyson’s struggles with depression, which inspired the “Gypsy King” to become an advocate for mental health awareness. In the book, Paris also touches on her husband’s battle with OCD, which the heavyweight champion was diagnosed with in 2016. Although Tyson’s struggles with mental health are ongoing, the father of six has things “under control”, according to Paris.
Speaking on This Morning, Paris said: “Tyson is still ongoing with mental health issues, but he’s got things under control.
“He tends to dip a little, but we’ve managed to maintain it.
“He’s happy with the kids and he’s happy at home. He’s a little bit inward, but nothing major.
“He’s doing well, he copes with it a lot better.”
“If I could give everybody the answers to what I did […] and how we coped and how we got to the happy ending in the end, then I’m going to give it. I’ve put it all in the book.”
Tyson stepped down from boxing for three years to deal with his depression and addiction, which has seen him hospitalised in the past.
The fighter’s battle with depression started soon after his greatest boxing triumphs.
Tyson started dabbling with drugs and binge drinking, which sent him down a slippery slope towards depression.
