TYSON FURY DISCUSSES CRUSHING DOWNWARD SPIRAL AND CAREER COMEBACK IN EMOTIONAL SIT-DOWN INTERVIEW WITH MAURO RANALLO

If mental illness can bring someone as big as me, as strong as me… to my knees, then it can bring anybody to their knees” – Fury

APA: Lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury opened up to SHOWTIME Sports® juruhebah Mauro Ranallo about his years-long struggle with mental health in what Ranallo deemed the most important interview of his career. The two sat down in Big Bear, California where Fury has been training for his December 1 showdown against WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder hidup di Showtime PPV®.

 

 

Fury, who shocked the world in 2015 with a unanimous decision victory over former world champion Wladimir Klitschko, details his swift rise to the upper echelon of the heavyweight division, all while battling crippling depression and anxiety that diminished his love of the sport. He recounts his apathy toward boxing leading up to the Klitschko fight and the downward spiral he endured following his historic win.

 

 

Following his win over Klitschko, Fury would fail to face his mandatory challengers and attempted to combat his mental struggles with alcohol and drugs, eventually ballooning to 400 pound. The self-proclaimed “Gypsy King” hit a turning point in October of 2017, when he began to seek help for depression and anxiety and was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, which Ranallo also suffers from.

 

 

Ranallo’s battle with mental illness was recently chronicled in the SHOWTIME documentary BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N’ ROLLER, where the combat sports announcer showcases his struggles and advocates for the shattering of stigmas surrounding mental illness. Like Ranallo, Fury aims to raise awareness of his own struggles and encourage others to seek help.

 

 

“It was like having a fight in my own mind,"Kata Fury. "[Mental illness] is a silent killer. It is almost like carbon monoxide poisoning because you can’t see it. My calling card is to spread the word on mental health.”

 

 

Fury’s journey back to stardom began with back-to-back wins in his first two fights this past summer. He knocked out Sefer Seferi in June of 2018, and followed suit with a unanimous decision win over Francesco Pianeta in August. His August victory culminated with an in-ring confrontation with Wilder, where the two announced their upcoming heavyweight blockbuster fight.

 

 

The heavyweight showdown headlines the December 1 Showtime PPV hidup dari Staples Center di Los Angeles (9 petang. ET / 6 petang. PT). Wilder, who has knocked out all seven challengers of his title, will attempt to make his eighth WBC Heavyweight defense. In the third fight of his comeback, Fury has the opportunity to become a two-time heavyweight world champion.

BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER Premieres During Mental Health Awareness Month

NEW YORK – April 30, 2018 – Prolific combat sports broadcaster Mauro Ranallo and his lifelong battle with mental illness are the subject of a new documentary film from SHOWTIME Sports®. BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER – named for the moniker Ranallo gave himself as a broadcast personality and DJ in the early 90’s – will premiere on SHOWTIME during Mental Health Awareness Month on Friday, Mei 25 di 9 petang. ET / PT.

 

First look video: https://s.sho.com/2Ft4Mig

 

 

Ranallo has Bipolar Affective Disorder, a condition afflicting nearly five percent of the U.S. population according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI.org). As a national sportscaster for preeminent boxing, mixed martial arts and WWE events, Ranallo has long been an advocate for ending the stigma of mental illness. Sekarang, untuk pertama kalinya, he exposes the true extent of his daily struggle. Through extensive behind-the-scenes video footage, candid personal interviews and detailed accounts from his loved ones and doctors, BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER takes an unflinching look at mental illness and its effects.

 

 

 

The film explores Ranallo’s career, including his work on the two biggest pay-per-view events in television history, and his relentless pursuit of a childhood dream despite seemingly insurmountable odds. Through this deeply personal portrait, Ranallo hopes that the film might inspire others to persevere in pursuing their dreams despite the challenges of a mental health condition.

 

 

 

“I have always tried to do my part to bring awareness to mental health issues,” said Ranallo. “Over the last several years, I allowed my best friend, Haris (Usanovic), to film me at my lowest points as well as at my highest. The idea is simply to show others who suffer that they are not alone and that, even when the outlook is bleak, you can overcome and achieve success. Mental illness is a life sentence—there is no cure—but it doesn’t have to be a death sentence.”

 

 

 

“Through BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER, Mauro Ranallo has chosen to share not only his life’s dreams, but his nightmares as well,"Kata Stephen Espinoza, Presiden, Sports and Event Programming for Showtime Networks Inc. “Having reached the pinnacle of his profession, Mauro bravely turns his keen observational skills inward to examine his own life-long battle. The result is a raw, poignant and ultimately inspirational film that personifies Mauro’s courage and selflessness.”

 

 

 

Ranallo is a popular fixture on today’s combat sports scenes. In a career that has spanned more than 30 tahun, he has called everything from “All-Star Wrestling,” a Canadian professional wrestling outfit, to historic MMA events for PRIDE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIPS out of Japan, to WWE SmackDown Live on USA Network, to many of the biggest boxing events in the world for SHOWTIME Sports. Ranallo was the first broadcaster to call play-by-play on boxing, kickboxing, MMA and professional wrestling events on national television.

 

 

 

Hari ini, Ranallo is the voice of three prominent nationally televised series: Showtime KEJOHANAN BOXING®, WWE’s weekly show NXT on WWE Network, dan Bellator MMA on Paramount Network. Perhaps best known for his dramatic, excitable style, Ranallo is a student of the English language. He has already made a lasting mark on the industry having called the two biggest pay-per-view events in television history: Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao (Mei 2015, international telecast); dan Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor (Ogos. 2017, Showtime PPV®).

 

BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER is produced by Brian Dailey, the network’s Vice President, Sports Digital Content and Strategy, and MALKA MEDIA GROUP. Directed by first-time filmmaker Haris Usanovic, the film is executive produced by Stephen Espinoza and SHOWTIME Sports.

‘BIG’ JOHN MCCARTHY TO JOIN BELLATOR BROADCAST TEAM

WILL MAKE COLOR COMMENTARY DEBUT AT BELLATOR 192 ON JAN. 20 – LIVE ON PARAMOUNT NETWORK

JUGA, CHAEL SONNEN SIGNS EXTENSION TO REMAIN IN BROADCAST BOOTH

Los Angeles - Bellator is pleased to announce that it has come to an agreement with John McCarthy to serve as color commentator during broadcasts on the soon-to-launch Paramount Network, which kicks off with Bellator 192 pada Sabtu, Januari 20.

 

“With the addition of ‘Big’ John to our broadcast team, we have put together the premier group of MMA commentators ahead of our Jan. 20 debut on the Paramount Network,” Bellator President Scott Coker said. “With John and Chael providing analysis, you’re getting two people who have spent more time in the cage than they have spent with a headset on, and that will translate to a positive viewing experience for Bellator fans.”

 

Lebih masa lalu 20 tahun, “Big” John McCarthy has set the bar when it comes to officiating in MMA, a sport where he has overseen countless fights promoted by Bellator and other promotions all over the world, serving as the referee for some of the biggest bouts in the history of the sport. A former Los Angeles Police Officer, and a Self-Defense Instructor at the Los Angeles Police Academy, McCarthy is also the founder of “C.O.M.M.A.N.D.,” a program that trains and certifies hopeful MMA referees and judges. McCarthy’s regulatory work is equally as impressive, as he was a key figure in the writing of the sport’s Unified Rules, which are recognized by the ABC and athletic commissions all across North America.

 

Along with his broadcasting duties, the man behind the catchphrase “Let’s get it on!” will also provide a unique level of first-hand insight to the plethora of original content produced by Bellator’s digital team.

 

“I first want to say how grateful I am for the opportunity I have been given to work with the incredible team Bellator has assembled. It is always so hard to leave something you love, but I have always wanted to step away based on my terms rather than someone else’s. My goals are to work as hard as I can to meet the expectations everyone will have for me and to hopefully someday exceed them.” McCarthy said. “I cannot think of anyone I would rather be working with than Scott Coker. Scott has always been a person I admire because of his honesty, loyalty and love for the martial arts. I want to thank everyone from Bellator and Viacom for the trust you are bestowing upon me to keep the commentating of Bellator MMA at the highest levels of the sport.”

 

Di samping itu, Chael Sonnen has signed an extension to remain a part of select Bellator broadcasts, breaking down all the action alongside Bellator announcers Mike Goldberg dan Mauro Ranallo.

 

Chael Sonnen menghabiskan sebahagian besar karier 44 perlawanannya dengan UFC dan WEC, larian yang menyaksikan dia mengalahkan bekas juara middleweight Michael Bisping, dan bersaing dengan orang seperti Jon Jones, Anderson Silva (dua kali), Rashad Evans, "Shogun" Rua, Demian Maia dan Brian Stann.

GULA RAY LEONARD

 

"Saya memberitahu David [Dinkins] hari ini, Ini adalah perlawanan yang sempurna. Maksud saya, anda mempunyai dua pejuang yang luar biasa, masing -masing dengan gaya dan keyakinan mereka sendiri dengan Keith dan Danny. Apa yang juga menimbulkan mata adalah penyatuan. Itu masa yang besar untuk mana -mana pejuang. Dan jika pejuang ini dapat memenuhi harapan mereka, Saya rasa ia akan menjadi rumah, tanpa soalan.

 

"Ini adalah jenis pergaduhan yang akan membawa tinju kembali ke tempat dulu. Ia akan memerlukan jenis pergaduhan, jenis individu ini, jenis atlet ini, jenis bintang super yang berpotensi ini, Untuk benar -benar berubah dan membuat tinju apa dulu. "

 

Mengenai kepentingan mempunyai jenis pergaduhan di televisyen rangkaian dan apa yang diperlukan untuk membawa sukan ini kembali kepada apa yang dulu ...

"Kedua -dua lelaki muda ini, Kedua -dua juara ini, Pejuang yang tidak terkalahkan ini, mereka sesuai dengan acuan. Saya bercakap dengan orang sepanjang masa tentang apa yang mereka mahu lihat dan ini adalah perjuangan yang mempunyai kualiti bintang kepadanya. "

 

Mengenai kelebihan setiap pejuang ...

"Saya melihat Keith, Dan saya telah menonton, berulang kali, pita perjuangan sebelumnya. Lagi, masing -masing membawa sesuatu ke meja. Keith Thurman, Nampaknya saya, Sedikit lebih mendasar daripada Danny Garcia. Tetapi Danny Garcia, mempunyai neutralizer. Satu perkara yang saya fikir adalah faktor besar untuk perjuangan sebenar itu sendiri, Adakah kedua -dua lelaki itu juara hebat dan kedua -duanya boleh mengambil pukulan. Jadi, Saya tidak tahu. Letakkan dengan cara ini, Saya tidak akan bertaruh rumah saya.

 

"Saya memihak kepada Thurman kerana dia nampaknya sedikit lebih bersedia dan dikumpulkan. Dia nampaknya lelaki semacam itu. Pertama sekali, Dia tidak akan pernah berputus asa. Tidak juga Danny. Tetapi saya hanya bersandar ... itu hanya usus saya yang memberitahu saya bahawa Keith sedikit lebih kukuh daripada Danny. "

 

Pada Danny Garcia ...

"Dia hanya seorang lelaki yang mempunyai ketabahan dalaman. Dia mempunyai hati, hati yang besar. Dan dia tidak memberi. Saya rasa dia jenis pejuang, anda tahu di mana orang-orang mengubahnya. Tetapi saya melihatnya dan dia adalah salah seorang pejuang itu, Saya tidak melatih - saya tidak pernah berlatih sama sekali - tetapi dia adalah jenis pejuang yang saya akan menikmati latihan. Kerana dia patut berada di sana. "

 

Mengenai kepentingan menghadapi lawan terbaik yang mungkin…

"Itu sangat penting. Mujurlah, Saya berada di era di mana terdapat banyak lelaki di luar sana yang begitu berbakat. Sekiranya diberi peluang mereka akan menjadi juara.

 

“Saya selalu berfikir bahawa kita terpaksa terus menaikkan bar sebagai pejuang, sebagai juara, dan terus bertarung dengan persaingan yang lebih baik dan lebih baik. Semasa saya berjuang, Saya bersumpah, Saya mahu menjadi underdog -psikologi, secara rohani dan mental, Sekiranya saya tidak dicabar, Sekiranya saya tidak dianggap agak kurang, Saya tidak dapat melakukan cara yang biasa saya lakukan. Itulah yang akan membuat saya pergi.

 

"Saya telah mengatakan ini beberapa kali: Perjuangan ini akan menjadi lebih besar dan lebih baik daripada apa yang kita jangkakan kerana apa yang dipertaruhkan.

 

"Kelebihannya [Bagi saya] Adakah pendedahan rangkaian televisyen, tanpa soalan. Saya suka itu. Ia mengepam saya kerana saya suka pendedahan. Saya suka perhatian. Saya suka pergaduhan dan itulah yang juga membantu saya menjadi pejuang yang saya menjadi.

 

Mengenai bagaimana ringside dan menyiarkan pertarungan welterweight penyatuan seperti pergaduhan dan gelaran yang dia berjuang untuk ...

"Ini adalah pengalaman luar badan. Ia sudah dilihat. Seperti suci, Saya 60. Ini seperti perkara yang sangat istimewa dan ia sangat jarang berlaku dari penyatuannya. Ia bercakap jumlah saya sejauh kepentingannya. Dan orang -orang ini, Keith dan Danny, Mereka tahu. Mereka sedar. "
