HEAVYWEIGHT king Tyson Fury delivered an emotional speech at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards as he looks to raise awareness for mental health.
The 30-year-old believes his epic bout with Deontay Wilder is proof that anything is possible as he urged people to “keep going forward” and to “fight back” in life.
Fury – who was snubbed for the six-person shortlist for the SPOTY award – delivered the speech before Geraint Thomas took home the main prize.
Speaking on the stage next to Gary Lineker, the Gypsy King said: “I should be WBC heavyweight champion of the world and everybody knows it.
“Many men would have stayed down after getting knocked down heavily by Deontay Wilder. I wanted to show the world that anything was possible.
“And no matter what you’ve been through in your life and no matter what you are going through, you must always, always get up and keep going forward and fight back.

“We need to spread the word on mental health more in sport. There are a lot of people living in darkness and are too afraid and come out and speak about it in public.
“But if I can do it, anybody can do it, a big heavyweight champion, I’m supposed to be a tough guy.
“I don’t want to talk about boxing. I’m going to enjoy Christmas with my family. Merry Christmas everyone and I will see you in the New Year.”
Fury was robbed of one of the greatest comebacks in boxing history when he controversially drew to Deontay Wilder earlier this month with the WBC title on the line.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
