Gloves Off: Tyson Fury Autobiography

Product Information

Wilder not only survived the third round but turned the fight on its head in the next session with his famed right hand decking Fury twice and this time it was the Briton holding on to preserve his unbeaten record. Fury andWilder have fought each other three times, the first being in 2018 at the iconic Staples Center.

Which fights get made, and which fights don’t, comes down to a number of opaque factors, but image and presentation can often be as important as style and ability. 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. Few outside of his close circle gave Tyson a chance, especially as the match had been made in Germany - a country seen as Klitschko's second home after Ukraine. In 2016, he was charged with consuming recreational drugs and slipped into depression following a suspension from boxing.

Fury went on to win on points, despite the Cameroon-born fighter dominating for much of the 10-round bout contest. After an intense match, Tyson emerged the winner and hence, he became the British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion. Waiting for a fight: Without Oleksandr Usyk, who are the potential opponents for Tyson Fury's next fight? Tyson Fury is the current WBC heavyweight champion and made a third successful defence of his title with a tenth roundstoppage of Derek Chisora in December 2022.

The symbolism associated with Fury’s determination to beat the count was felt across the globe: if Tyson Fury could beat depression, then so could anybody else. He describes how his Traveller upbringing forged him, and how his fighting family, including dad John and his brothers, have sustained him. Paris was just 15 years old when she first met Tyson Fury at the wedding of a mutual friend in London. He had a winning record of 24-0 when he faced the world champion Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015 and won many heavyweight titles, including the WBF and IBF heavyweight championships. Having finally sought medical help after longstanding reluctance, Fury sees the public nature of his breakdown as making him “more like the average person on the street” and allowing him to become an “unofficial ambassador for mental health” (there’s a list of helplines at the back of the book).

Fury has fought in two different trilogies -- he beat Derek Chisora all three fights (2 KOs and a unanimous decision) and is 2-0-1 with 2 KOs against Deontay Wilder (with a split draw in the first fight). The fight, which took place on December 1, 2018, was played out in front of 17,698 in Los Angeles, California. He won several titles as a pro boxer, such as the English heavyweight title, the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles, Irish and WBO inter-continental titles. Like all the greatest stories, though, there is redemption and Tyson defies all the odds and literally drags himself to his feet.

Fury’s family has a large history in the boxing field so it is obvious that he began playing boxing at a very young age.In November 2012, it was announced that Tyson would be competing in a big match, the WBC title eliminator, against the world title contender Kevin Johnson. In a shock move, Fury decided to replace good friend Davison with SugarHill Steward as his trainer alongside Cousin Andy Lee.
