Description

"I really wanted to die, I wanted a date with the death man." These are the words of Heavyweight Boxing champion Tyson Fury.

Mental health issues are surrounded by stigma and are a topic that many find difficult to openly discuss, yet we all experience them to some degree or another. Almost no one will go through life without entering a period of depression, anxiety or addiction.   

We have to make a constant effort to look after our mental health and open up about our problems to those who could lend a helping hand. On this episode of Fight IQ, we breakdown clips from Shane Young, Jeremy Stephens, Robert Whittaker and Tyson Fury, fighters who have had very intense mental health struggles and learn that the greatest adversary in our lives is the enemy within.
