Description
Available for pre-order now
The no-holds-barred autobiography - including the full story behind Tyson's record-breaking victory against Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium in front of 94,000 people.
Gloves Off by Tyson Fury pulls no punches in his most candid, comprehensive, and entertaining book yet. It 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.
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 six beautiful children, his mental health battles, his faith, his boxing rivalries, and the fights, pitfalls, and challenges along the way.
Tyson shares fascinating blow-by-blow accounts of his inspiring victories against Deontay Wilder and Dillian Whyte, his recovery from the depths of depression, and his journey to reclaiming his world heavyweight title. 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.

About the Author
During his storied 36-fight career, Tyson Fury has established himself as one of the best heavyweight fighters of all time.
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 βGypsy Kingβ first shocked the boxing world in 2015, when he stunned long-time champion Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles.
Due to struggles with his mental health, Tyson 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. Tyson was victorious in the second fight against Deontay Wilder in February 2020, defeating his opponent by seventh-round technical knockout. In October 2021, Tyson concluded the trilogy with victory against Deontay Wilder by an emphatic eleventh-round technical knockout. In March 2022, Fury successfully defended his heavyweight crown at Wembley Stadium against Dillian Whyte, winning by knockout with a devastating uppercut in the sixth round.
Outside of the ring, Tyson Fury is a mental health ambassador. He lives with his wife Paris and seven children in Morecambe, and most mornings can be found running and training along Morecambe Bay.
