TYSON FURY spoke out about the terrible stress he felt when his daughter Athena was admitted to intensive care last month.
Fury, 33, welcomed their sixth child to the world with Paris, 31. However, they were anxious when it was revealed that their daughter had serious health issues.
Fury revealed the stress he experienced during his daughter's health issues
Athena was placed in intensive care. She was put on a ventilator and she battled through.
Fury now says she is doing very well and has made a complete recovery.
The WBC heavyweight champion was not able to recover from the ordeal. He will be making his return to boxing on October 9th, after a 20-month absence.
He spoke to ITV and said that it took him a few years to get over the stress he was experiencing.
It's part of living, I suppose. You know that life is going to have ups and downs. It's all about persevering and believing you will get the most out of each one.
"For all those people who have had children in hospital, you need to be positive and strong for your partner and anyone you are with. Things will improve eventually."
"You are just praying and hoping that everything will be okay.
"And you hope for better times, and that's all that you can do at the moment."
He continued by saying that Athena was a "little fighter...just like me".
Fury can now fully concentrate on his fight against American Deontay wilder in just four weeks.
Wilder was stopped by The Gypsy King in round seven of their highly anticipated clash in February 2020.
The bout was originally scheduled for July, but Fury contracted coronavirus three months later. Wilder has denied this.
The Bronze Bomber, who is looking to regain his WBC strap, said: “They’re trying to run away from it, I’m running to it. I don’t believe he had Covid.
“I know he wasn’t doing well in camp. The young guys were piecing him up.
“I had a young guy from my camp who was piecing him up.”
