Tyson Fury has labelled his battle with depression as "the hardest fight of my life" but insists he has turned a corner as he prepares to launch his comeback later this year.
Fury, the former unified world heavyweight champion, last year surrendered the WBA and WBO titles he won from
Wladimir Klitschko in one of boxing's great upsets in a bid to conquer his personal demons.
Earlier this week he announced plans to return to the ring on May 13 - although he remains suspended by the British Boxing Board of Control, putting a potential roadblock on any comeback - and on Friday followed it up by speaking about his condition.
He wrote on Twitter: "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, #startingfromthebottom."
