A redemption tale like no other- Behind the Mask is an unflinching autobiography from the greatest boxer of our time and details - for the first time ever - the extraordinary story of the rise and fall and rise again of Tyson Fury
Tyson Fury is the undefeated lineal heavyweight champion of the
world. Born and raised in Manchester, Fury weighed just 1lb at
birth after being born three months premature. His father John
named him after Mike Tyson.
From Irish traveller heritage, the"Gypsy King" is undefeated in 28
professional fights, winning 27 with 19 knockouts, and drawing
once. His most famous victory came in 2015, when he stunned
longtime champion Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA, IBF and WBO
world heavyweight titles. He was forced to vacate the belts because
of issues with drugs, alcohol and mental health, and did not fight
again for more than two years. Most thought he was done with boxing
forever. Until an amazing comeback fight with Deontay Wilder in
December 2018. It was an instant classic, ending in a split
decision tie.
Outside of the ring, Tyson Fury is a mental health ambassador. He
donated his million dollar purse from the Deontay Wilder fight to
the homeless.
Fury delivers on his Behind The Mask promise. Beneath the rowdy showmanship is a gifted athlete with bottomless reservoirs of determination and a rare willingness to be frank about his vulnerability to depression [...] you may have to take him more seriously than your instincts suggest. * The Sportsman *
