“He is champion once again”- Arnold Schwarzenegger praises Tyson Fury’s career resurgence culminating in Heavyweight Title

Tyson Fury took to social media to thank Arnold Schwarzenegger for his encouraging words about Fury’s career.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has been through his fair share of hardship and regularly sends motivational messages on Instagram and through his newsletter. He talked about Fury battling his demons on his way to becoming great. After vacating his belt in 2016 Fury fell into the depths of alcoholism and drug abuse. Plagued by depression and suicidal thoughts Fury lost the will to box and live. His lifestyle worsened and he ballooned to a massive 136 kilos.

Fury has talked about how after he won the heavyweight title his life seemed to have lost meaning. He lost all motivation leading to him losing just about everything. However, Fury was able to take control of his life and turn it all around. After a particularly close call with death as he attempted suicide on the highway, Fury found the will to take control of his life. In 2018 he reapplied for his boxing licence and started the long process of climbing up the ranks and once again becoming world heavyweight champion. This culminated in 2 wins over Wilder in their epic trilogy and the heavyweight belt around his waist.

Schwarzenegger encourages his fans to find strength in Fury’s story and take control of their own life. Tyson stories Schwarzenegger’s message on Instagram thanking him for his words.
