Liam said: “Tyson does a lot of work with mental health and is very open about his experiences, which is something that I connect with deeply.

“Over the years I have watched him go from prospect to champ to 27 stone and drug dependant unable to compete, to pulling himself up by his bootstrap and become a two time heavyweight champion.

“It was very inspiring for me as Tyson is local always shouting out his home, Morecambe to see how far he has come and what he has managed to accomplish is phenomenal, so i decided to try and capture that with this song.”
