Gloves Off: Tyson Fury Autobiography

Product Information

You always expect people in the sports or entertainment field to be super secure about their lives and be happy. Despite this, and thanks to an evening of “clinical precision”, Fury’s hand was raised in Düsseldorf at the end of twelve absorbing, frustrating rounds (“I was a motherfucking bamboozler”) and he reached his unlikely zenith.

With that being established, the 33-year-old has a book coming out that is expected to discuss his entire career. What is left out are the contradictions of the man, the stories that change over time and any serious attempt to clear the air regarding accusations for the use of the substance Nandrolone. This book opened my eyes a bit, his struggle with mental illness, his addictions, and where he's at now. I love that he dedicates so much to his wife Paris and their marriage is to be admired as they’ve gone through a huge amount in a short space of time. Gloves Off is not a case of bare-fisted self-exposure, but instead a carefully edited version of events.In a world, where people (especially men) are suppose to just brush things aside and move on with life, reading this heartfelt tale of depression from one of the best boxers in the world was very refreshing. Anthony Joshua, a long-standing target of Fury, is scheduled to fight Alexander Usyk on September 25 in a rematch after the Ukranian beat the former heavyweight champion on points at the London Stadium, last year. What will come afterwards, just living at home with his beloved wife, Paris, and their six children? If you've not bought a WWE box office event before you'll, first you’ll need to register and pay for your first event with TNT by credit/debit card here. He goes on to Tyson's family life, his beliefs, his failures, his successes, and his will to keep in fighting.

Having finally sought medical help after longstanding reluctance, Fury sees the public nature of his breakdown as making him “more like the average person on the street” and allowing him to become an “unofficial ambassador for mental health” (there’s a list of helplines at the back of the book). However, what we fail to understand is that no matter how rich or poor you are, how successful or unsuccessful you are, depression can hit you at any point in your life and is something which needs to be taken seriously.Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent. One of his most notable works was Taking Back My Name, an autobiography of Ike Turner, with whom he spent a number of weeks working with him on, taking up residence in Turner's house.

There is no mention, for example, of Daniel Kinahan, the alleged Irish gangster based in Dubai, whom Fury publicly thanked in 2020 for his work as a boxing promoter. Tyson was victorious in the second fight against Deontay Wilder in February 2020, defeating his opponent by seventh-round technical knockout. And when Fury refers to his father being sentenced to 11 years in prison in 2011 (he served four), he merely says that it was “for getting involved in a fight”, which makes it sound like a spot of fisticuffs. 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.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.

The story of Tyson Fury is super relevant and the themes he highlights about the sport and mental illness are fascinating and important insights.

It was saddening for me to hear of what he had to go through, more so for me as I have always been a huge fan and his over confident fearless like attitude I aspired to have.
