In 2018, Tyson Fury publicly admitted that he attempted suicide. He was addicted to drugs and he almost crashed his Ferrari. No wonder, Deontay Wilder did not forget to mention it in the latest press conference. He slammed The Gypsy King by saying, “Don’t you ever forget that when I found you, you (Tyson Fury) were strung out on coke. You were like a big house, contemplating killing yourself. Don’t you ever forget who brought you to big-time boxing. I brought you back, dragged you back, I put food on your table for your family to eat and I am doing it again for a second time. I am the one who sells pay-per-view and tickets. They come to see me.”
