About this deal

Access-all-areas and full of never-before-told stories, Tyson looks back on his life and career to examine what's really defined him: his Travelling upbringing, his fighting family (including his dad John and his half-brother Tommy), his beloved wife Paris, his 6 beautiful children, his mental health battles, his faith, his boxing rivalries and the fights, pitfalls and challenges along the way. Had this book been written by a third party, I suspect they would have been more aware of the regular contradictions that appear, with Tyson wanting to be both the hardest studier of the game, obsessing over detail, as well as the most relaxed free-wheeling guy who can train how he likes, eat how he likes and still come away with the victory. If you are a fan of the sweet science, however, it is undeniable that Fury is one of the greats, and it's fascinating to see what kind of mindset got him there! Larger than life is all very well for the length of a boxing promotion, but it can soon become tiring in life. Finally, I am thankful that Tyson is happy to be candid about his own battles with his mental health.

He praises the strict moral values of the Traveller community from which he comes, but sidesteps the alleged wrongdoing of the crime boss seen in his company. Got through 125 pages but he could of just written ‘I love myself’ multiple times and it would have had the same effect! Yet while he has clearly suffered, there is also a sense that the illness is a cloak that covers all questionable behaviours, repositioning him as victim rather than perpetrator. Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page.I bought this a while back just before the 'At home with the Furys' series aired on Netflix and started reading it in between other books but after popping out a couple of weeks ago and spotting the Gypsy Kings car It gave me a big ole nudge to crack on and finish this fantastic book. If you have read Behind the Mask a lot of the same information is here, but with the benefit of having time to reflect on everything that happened to Tyson throughout his life his early life/career, his breakdown and his second career. The No-Holds-Barred Autobiography Tyson pulls no punches in his most candid, comprehensive and entertaining book yet, which chronicles for the first time in full his inspirational story - the rise, the fall, and the rise again, which saw him come back from the brink of suicide to reclaim his heavyweight crown. Other than an insight into his faith and mental health problems, the rest just felt a usual story of I did this and that, which you already knew. With revealing intimacy, Tyson also shares new sides to his character: in the weeks before the biggest fight of his career in 2021 the devoted father was sleeping on a hospital floor in intensive care tending to his new-born daughter Athena who was born premature and fighting for her life.

Detailing never before told stories Tyson Fury pulls no punches in his most candid and entertaining book yet. What’s more, his trilogy of fights with the fearsome US heavyweight Deontay Wilder are some of the most compelling contests of their division for a couple of decades.Perhaps, but this is a guy who refers to himself in the third person and it’s just possible that the act has taken up more permanent residence in his personality. Fascinating insight into his mental health but very similar content as the last book (money spinner? This a very honest memoir that details Tysons trust in his faith and his mental health battles and also the struggles and sacrifices that both he and his family faced in becoming a champion. Gloves Off is not a case of bare-fisted self-exposure, but instead a carefully edited version of events. Sometimes, the whole “Gypsy King” showman drama – being carried to the ring on a throne in one of the Wilder fights – may occlude Fury’s genuinely impressive achievements in the ring.
