Fury bid to kill himself

-

TYSON FURY admits he tried to commit suicide as he battled his demons after becoming heavyweigh­t world champion.

He dethroned Wladimir Klitschko 18 months ago but quickly descended into a downward spiral.

In a letter to fans, he said: “I woke in the morning sad I didn’t pass away in the night. I hit the drink and drugs trying to find a way out.

“But with the help of God I have made a massive turnaround. I am back training on a mission to put the record straight.” Fury (above), who was stripped of one world title and relinquish­ed his others, faces a hearing into a failed drug test next month.
