I must agree!
Tyson is my Sports Personality Of The Year. Not just for heart, desire, talent & bravery of this fight...but for what he’s done for everyone struggling with their mental health.
He’s shown you CAN battle back from depression, you CAN be suicidal and recover. A true inspiration.

Boxing can be a brutal sport but in the end it’s a sport. Thank you @masayukiito0630 for the opportunity, you’re a good champion, but better person and you will be a world champion again!

Lots of discussion on the validity of the Lineal Title.I can appreciate both sides.This excellent article by @danrafaelespn convinced me of the merit of recognizing @Tyson_Fury as the Lineal Hvywt. Champion of the world & worthy of the respected title. A great read 4 aficionados
