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. Fascinating insight into his mental health but very similar content as the last book (money spinner? Boxing is a very particular kind of sport, with one foot in the entertainment world and another in murky backrooms. 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.

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. 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. In the process, Tyson discusses his mental health and weight battles, his faith and his greatest boxing experiences. Funny, frank and never less than entertaining, this is Tyson Fury at his very best, as you have never read before.

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. He’s a mighty and furious legend, but soft and vulnerable, he shows this in his book and it’s really important to hear about this side. True showman who people either love or hate, you can only appreciate him more after reading this book. The definite article sounds more definitive, but in reality it’s more of the same – more braggadocio, more humility, more professions of love for his wife and family, more descriptions of his mental health, more threats to retire, more talking up potential fights of the future. Born and raised in Manchester, Fury weighed just 1lb at birth after being born three months premature.

It's great that he is open and honest about this, though I do wish he wouldn't use even this to push the barrow of his victory over all odds. Although, as in the previous book, he doesn’t revisit his words, he attributes them to his well-publicised mental breakdown leading up to and after his 2015 victory over Wladimir Klitschko to claim the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight crowns. What will come afterwards, just living at home with his beloved wife, Paris, and their six children? Key to a good sports autobiography is that you get an insight into the real person and the key successes and failures information you didn’t know.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. 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.

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. This book concludes with providing information and a motivational message for any people struggling with their own health issues.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. I was a bit dubious about reading Tyson Fury's third book or autobiography in as many years, but I enjoyed the book.
