Tyson Fury reveals he weighs 25 STONE as former world champion claims he has beaten depression ahead of return

Tyson Fury is confident he has beaten the depression that has blighted him since his win over Wladimir Klitschko.

The former heavyweight world champion has not fought since he beat the Ukrainian in November 25.

And although he revealed he currently weighs 25 stone, Fury believes he is on track to make his ring return.

The 28-year-old tweeted earlier this week that he has pencilled in his comeback for May 13 but that depends on the result of his UK Anti-Doping hearing - and the boxing authorities reinstating his license.

Fury tweeted today: "Talk about being a fat man, I'm 25stones or 350lbs, but getting the weight off has never been a problem! Ask (trainer) Peter Fury we done it 24 times.

"I've moved on from the dark & scary place I've been living & if I can beat depression then I can beat anything! The hardest fight of my life!

"I'm starting a fresh start, letting go of the past & concentrating on the future, got to keep moving forwards."

Fury was stripped of his three world titles last year when he failed a drug test after taking cocaine.

He insists he has never taken performance-enhancing drugs but faces a grilling from UKAD in early May.

His cousin Hughie Fury will challenge for one of Tyson's old belts when he takes on Joseph Parker on May 6 in Auckland.
