having an operation on a long-term hand injury,<\/a> he began drinking heavily.<\/p>\nJohn Fury, the father of both Tommy and former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, says he told Hague to leave his son.<\/p>\n
“During this documentary a lot of my hardest times have been documented,” Fury tells BBC Sport.<\/p>\n
“[The documentary is about] how to navigate tough times.<\/p>\n
“What’s it like behind the scenes of an actual boxing fight.<\/p>\n
“And how difficult it is to balance everything – being a family man, fighter and work life.”<\/p>\n
The documentary follows Fury as he charts his way back from mental health struggles and excessive drinking.<\/p>\n
The Englishman credits boxing and his daughter Bambi, “the best thing in my life”, with helping him most.<\/p>\n
And in May this year it was confirmed Fury and Hague had reconciled.<\/p>\n
“Training was my escape. I’d always feel amazing coming out of the gym no matter what was happening, even if my life was falling apart,” Fury says.<\/p>\n
“My relationship with boxing is as it’s always been. I’ve still got the same goals, I’m still hungry.<\/p>\n
“I am still up at four or five in the morning running, still training three times a day. The hunger is still there.<\/p>\n
“If it wasn’t for boxing, I wouldn’t have what I have in my life.<\/p>\n
“Boxing has opened every single door for me.
