Tyson Fury, one of the greatest heavyweights of all-time. Born into the traveller community, fighting is in Tysons blood. Named after the boxing legend, Mike Tyson, Fury was destined for greatness. Becoming the lineal heavyweight champion of the world in 2015, Tyson had completed his lifetime goal. However, despite being undefeated in the ring, his biggest battle came in another form: mental health. Gaining 9 stone in weight, Tyson was forced to vacate his belts, undoing all the hours of sacrifice and hard work he had put in to get him to that point as he fell deep into a pit of depression, alcohol, and drugs. From battling addiction and obesity to heavyweight champion of the world, Tyson shocked everyone when he came back to face WBC world heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder, in what would be one of the greatest boxing trilogies in the history of the sport. Tysons comeback is nothing short of a miracle and, despite all the trials and tribulations Tyson has faced, nobody can deny he is one of the greatest boxers that has ever lived.
