Fury gave a heartfelt plea for people struggling with mental health to seek help
WBC champ Fury announced his retirement from boxing after stopping Dillian Whyte in the sixth round in April.
Since then he has continued to post motivational messages on his social media channels, becoming a champion for mental health issues.
Fury took to his Instagram on Thursday to record a message for his followers ahead of the long weekend.
He said: “Just sat here and I thought I do a little video for all of the people suffering with depression anxiety or any mental health disorder you may have.

“Now is the time to seek help, get medical advice or speak to a friend or family member, whoever you can. If you don’t have any friends or family members that you think you can speak to like I didn’t, seek medical advice immediately.
“Now is the time, you sooner you can go and do it the better. The sooner you can return to health again, it’s a sad and lonely place to be especially over the holidays.
“I just thought of all the people who may be struggling or in need, this one’s for you. All the people who are out there on and off with it all, do yourself a bit of exercising.
“Put the drink down, drugs down, everything down. Get your runners on, get your gym gear, do a bit if you can. Any exercise is better than none.”

Despite retiring, Fury is said to still be open to exhibition bouts and rumours continue to circulate that one final fight against fellow British heavyweight Anthony Joshua could still happen.
Fury, 33, went unbeaten throughout his pro career, winning 32 fights and drawing one – with this coming from the first of his triple-header against American Deontay Wilder.
