The 34-year-old British boxer, who has
previously sung for crowds at matches as well as dueted with
Robbie Williams, will put out the track, a crowd favourite at
sporting events, on Nov. 11 in aid of men’s mental health
charity Talk Club.
"'Sweet Caroline' is a record I’ve always loved, and I’m excited
to record and release it," Fury said in a statement, noting the
single will come out just in time for the 2022 World Cup in
Qatar.
"It’s a great opportunity for me to give something back to
mental health and hopefully continue to raise awareness for a
cause that’s really close to my heart and if it helps England
along the way in the World Cup, well that’s an added bonus.”
Fury stunned boxing fans in 2015 when he defeated Wladimir
Klitschko for the IBF, WBA and WBO belts. But he later struggled
with mental health and substance abuse which derailed his
career. He fought back and has been vocal about mental health
awareness.
"Boxing has been a massive platform for me to spread the word on
mental health and I have done it to the best of my ability,"
said Fury, who will take on Derek Chisora in December.
"It has been widely printed about my highs and lows, ups and
downs, so I’ve tried my best to keep talking about it as much as
I can and keep trying to smash the stigma."
