Tyson Fury reveals in a trailer for his upcoming self-titled Netflix documentary that he "didn't want to live" after achieving his childhood dream of becoming world heavyweight champion.
Documentary Explores Personal Struggles
The documentary traces Fury's life from childhood to the height of his boxing career, featuring interviews with Fury, his wife Paris, and his father John. It explores his mental health struggles, addiction, the loss of a child, and complex family relationships.
Fury's Obsession with Klitschko Fight
In the trailer, Fury describes growing up in a family where no emotion was shown, quoting 50 Cent: "show no love, love will get you killed." He says his 2015 fight against Wladimir Klitschko became an obsession; winning made him the first British world heavyweight champion in six years.
Family Perspectives
Paris Fury recalls his relentless routine and says after the victory Fury told her, "This is as good as it's ever going to get." She adds that the Tyson she knew was gone and she was scared. Fury says he achieved his dreams but felt his purpose was gone, leading to suicidal thoughts.
Return to Boxing and Upcoming Fight
John Fury says the effect of the win on his son was far deeper than he imagined. All three appear emotional in the trailer. Fury states that his persona "The Gypsy King" will overcome anything, and that the journey was about getting well again, not boxing. Fury recently appeared in the reality series "At Home With The Furys," documenting his retirement. He announced a return to boxing in 2026, nearly a year after stepping back. The documentary premieres on November 27, two weeks before his scheduled fight with Anthony Joshua on December 11, which will be streamed live on Netflix.
