Boxing’s heavyweight champion of the world and lifelong Manchester United fan Tyson Fury has urged supporters to speak up about their mental health.

The ‘Gypsy King’ fell into a spiral of depression after beating the great Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 and subsequently spent three years out of the ring.

After speaking publicly about his struggles, he returned to conquer the sport all over again and, on Saturday, he will fight Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed title.

On a recent visit to Old Trafford, and ahead of Mental Health Awareness Week, club reporter Zarah Connolly sat down with Fury to pass his message to fans who might be struggling. We urge anyone who might be struggling to read on...

We are big believers in advocating for mental health and looking out for other people across the whole world, across our fan base and beyond.
