“Had Everything Taken Away From Him”: Arnold Schwarzenegger Applauded Tyson Fury for Winning Battle Against Alcohol Addiction and Mental Health Issues to Make One of the Iconic Comebacks in Boxing History

Arnold Schwarzenegger has ruled the world of bodybuilding like none other. The legend with seven Mr. Olympia titles is undeniably people’s favorite. Having perfected multiple roles, the man is a health freak and loves his ‘fight commentary.’

He shares his thoughts on how heavyweight boxers like Tyson and Muhammad Ali dominated the ring. A Tyson Fury admirer, Arnold can not help but shower praise. Knowing his struggles, the Terminator star talks extensively about the boxing champion.

Arnold’s praise for Tyson

The love and respect that athletes have for each other transcend beyond the sporting field. Appreciating Fury for overcoming all the obstacles, Arnold said, “In 2018, he decided to reapply for his boxing license, get his a** off the couch, and do something with the great talent he was given.”

Back in 2016, the boxing legend faced a troubled time. He had a lot of issues with his mental health and alcoholism after vacating his boxing titles in 2016. Weighing 300lbs at the time, he was involved heavily in drinking and other bad-for-health products. There even came a time in Tyson’s life when he had thoughts of suicide, and struggled to find his place in life. But the adversaries were not strong enough to hold him back.

As Arnold rightly said, the legend did realize, “Enough’s enough. Now I’m in charge of my own destiny.”
