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.

    Richard Fitzpatrick's South Florida, 1822-1840 Part II: Fitzpatrick's Miami River Plantation By Hugo L. Black III* During the 1820's, most of the land in southeast Florida was owned by the government. By 1825, only six private claims from the Spanish period had been validated: the Polly Lewis, Jonathan Lewis, and Rebecca Hagan (Egan) Donations on the South side of the Miami River, the James Hagan (Egan) Donation on the North side of the Miami River, the Mary Ann Davis Donation on Key Biscayne, and the Frankee Lewis Donation on the New River.1 Notwithstanding the lack of settlement, even during this period, southeast Florida's suitability for plantations was recognized. James Egan emphasized this suitability in the following advertisement run on numerous occasions in the Key West Register during 1829, in which he offered his land on the Miami River for Sale: For Sale A Valuable Tract of LAND Near Cape Florida Situated on the Miami River. The Land is very good and will produce Sugar Cane and Sea Island Cotton, equal if not superior to any other part of the *Hugo Black, III, is a resident of Miami, a former state legislator, a graduate of Yale, and presently attending law school at Stanford University.
