Tyson Fury to release ‘Sweet Caroline’ cover to raise money for men’s mental health charity

Tyson Fury will be releasing a cover of Neil Diamond’s ‘Sweet Caroline’ to raise money for for men’s mental health charity Talk Club.

The two-time world heavyweight boxing champion has already recorded the track, which is set for release next month. 

Fury, from Wythenshawe, said he selected the song thanks to not only its popularity as a fan-favourite at many UK sporting events, but as a result of his own personal connection to it too.

He explained: “‘Sweet Caroline’ is a record I’ve always loved and I’m excited to record and release it.

“And thanks to the folks over at Warner Music, they’ve given me the opportunity to do that, and what better time to release it than around the World Cup!

“I’m also proud to be partnering with the team at Talk Club who do such amazing work.

“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.”

Talk Club offers free support to men who are struggling with their mental health through a number of services, including ‘talk groups, sports groups and therapy to help keep you mentally fit’. 

Talk Club co-founders Ben Akers and Gavin Thorpe said on Fury’s charity track: “Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50 in the UK. Tyson Fury is a champion, in and out of the ring to many of those men.

“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.”

Tyson Fury’s cover of Sweet Caroline will be released on Friday November 11th through Warner Music UK’s EastWest Records.
