GUIDE The extraordinary story of the rise and fall and rise again
of Tyson Fury... THE GYPSY KING. A Manchester lad from Irish
Traveller stock, born three months premature and weighing just a
pound at birth, Tyson (named after his father's boxing hero) grew
up to become one of the most unlikely heavyweight champions in
history. This 'dream come true' soon turned to nightmare, however,
as alcohol and cocaine abuse took hold and Tyson was stripped of
his titles. What followed was the darkest moment of his life -
detailed in this book for the first time - in which he came within
seconds of ending everything. THE PEOPLE'S CHAMPION. Like all the
greatest stories, though, there is redemption and Tyson defies all
the odds and literally drags himself to his feet. 10 million people
around the globe watched Fury fight Wilder in the biggest fight of
the boxing calendar. Speaking candidly about his struggles with
mental health, this is Tyson Fury as you have never seen him
before. A BRITISH ICON. ________________________________ Behind the
Mask is an unflinching story from the greatest boxer of our time
and a man who has demonstrated strength of a very different kind by
conquering his demons. ________________________________ 'It's a
great book, if I could read, I'd buy it' BILLY JOE SAUNDERS, WBO

role models, but Tyson Fury has changed my mind... This 30-year-old
Mancunian has made us all think twice about the possibilities of
redemption.' SIMON KELNER, INDEPENDENT 'Tyson Fury has become
Britain's most unlikely inspirational figure... the sight of a
broken Fury caught a mood with the public. Never was the epithet
"People's Champion" more apt' RON LEWIS, THE TIMES 'Tyson Fury is
an amazing real-life champion' SYLVESTER STALLONE, star of Rocky
'You may not have any interest in boxing at all and you will find
this story about Tyson's life fascinating' BBC RADIO 5 LIVE 'An

Brother. Fighter. Showman. Mental health champion. Told with
unflinching honesty and rock-star charisma, Gloves Off by Tyson
Fury is the autobiography of a sporting icon, the like of which we
may never see again. The undefeated heavyweight champion Tyson Fury
looks back on his life and career to understand his remarkable
rise, fall, and rise again, which has seen him journey from the
brink of suicide to boxing immortality, culminating in his
sensational knockout victory against Dillian Whyte at Wembley
Stadium in front of a record-breaking 94,000 fans. Tyson's book
reveals surprising and personal new sides to his character: he
opens up about his fairy-tale romance with beloved wife Paris, and
their down-to-earth life raising six beautiful children. He
describes how his Traveller upbringing forged him, and how his
fighting family, including dad John and his brothers, have
sustained him. In the process, Tyson discusses his mental health
and weight battles, his faith and his greatest boxing experiences.
He discloses deeply moving new stories: in the weeks before the
biggest fight of his career, Tyson was sleeping on a hospital floor
in intensive care tending to his baby daughter, Athena, who was
born premature and fighting for her life. Funny, frank and never
less than entertaining, this is Tyson Fury at his very best, as you
have never read before.
