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.

N3DYO ,

Excellent book, shame about voice over

Brilliant book definitely worth a read, as others have mentioned tho it is not narrated by fury like it says, only the intro is (2 minutes) would rather hear fury speak his own words, the story would be so much better if we could hear the passion of the kings voice telling it. Definitely read this book.

Narrated by Tyson Fury? No it’s not.

This was advertised as narrated by Tyson fury. But it’s not.
Disappointed and a bit cheated about that.

Tyson fury

As a boxing fan I totally enjoyed this book and behind-the-scenes look with all his struggles and Demons which I can relate to the only thing for me which could’ve improved it if Tyson did the narration himself but apart from that very good book one of my favourites
