Tyson Fury's debut solo single is set to raise money for a men's mental health charity.
The two-time heavyweight champion has recorded a cover of Neil Diamond's iconic anthem, Sweet Caroline, which will be released on 11th November to raise funds for Talk Club.
The professional boxer - who has previously spoken about his own mental health struggles - explained: "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. I have been very vocal about my mental health struggle, especially since my comeback.
"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."

The self-named ‘Gypsy King’ has been no stranger to singing and performing, often taking to the mic post-fight and during interviews to serenade the crowd with the likes of American Pie, I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing and Walking in Memphis.
The professional boxer also appeared on Robbie Williams’ 2019 Christmas album duetting with the star on the track Bad Sharon.
With the World Cup fast approaching, Fury also hopes the song will be a good luck charm for the Three Lions to bring home the trophy!
Sweet Caroline’ will be released on 11th November through Warner Music UK’s EastWest Records.
100% of Warner Music UK Profits, including 100% of Tyson Fury’s earnings, will be donated to the charity Talk Club.
Ben Akers and Gavin Thorpe, the co-founders of Talk Club said: "Men see themselves in Tyson, so when he talks (or sings) they listen. So to be partnering with Tyson on something that raises the awareness of Talk Club, and gets men talking and improving their mental fitness, will save lives."
