“It doesn't get any darker than not wanting to live,” he said. “That's as dark as it can go, I suppose. And that's where I was at in my life. I prayed to God to kill me. I'd wake up in the morning and I'd say, 'Why did I wake up again? Why am I back in this place I don't want to be?”
Fury explained “nobody” will understand what he had to go through to get back into the ring and that his success in the sport didn’t matter.
