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. This book is dedicated to the cause of mental health awareness.

    JACO OTTO | RECENT PROJECTS 2020 Hi, I’m Jaco. I’m a user interface designer with over a decade of industry experience. I love interactive projects and have a passion for creating immersive user experiences for digital products & services. BT Project: Optimisation of the BT TV and BT Sport storefronts. Project details: I worked in a product design role to run various tests on BT.com, specifically for BT TV, BT Sport and the BT Sport Box Office. The main aim was to increase conversion and to improve the overall user experi- ence. Two mayor projects were to look at better ways to present the newly launched BT TV proposition and another to improve sales on the BT Sport Box office. BT TV recently launched with a new flexible TV service, which started to include TV packages from Sky, a competitor. BT TV now includes NOW tv (Sky) entertainment and sport packages, BT broadband as well as various add on options such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. I worked on full journey re-designs and prototypes for testing various approaches to address customer pain points and to ideally make the proposition clearer and easier to understand with the aim to increase conversion. I also looked at ways to make sure the design is captivating and enticing. Another project was to update the BT Sport Box Office part of the website where customers can buy tickets to view occasional big live sport events. There are multiple ways to buy and view these events, which caused quite a lot of confusion for users.
