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.

And ashamed to be the Mormons more than any other: they wear their sin the Jack Mormon that I am. — Jack Dempsey way good Mormons wear white shirts and black ties. I am Jack’s flabbergasted sense of hypocrisy. IKE MANY THINGS HISTORICALLY MORMON, the origin and meaning of the term “Jack JACK DEMPSEY WAS born in Manassa, Colorado, 24 L Mormon” are hard to explain. The first published June 1895. Before he became the brawler and world- use of the moniker came in 1846, but it was probably champion heavyweight boxer known as the Manassa used earlier, circa 1834, during the Kirtland period, when Mauler, he was born the ninth of eleven children in a Democrats in Jackson County, Missouri, were referred to Mormon family. His parents, Hyrum and Celia Smoot as Jack Mormons. Originally, a Jack Mormon was not a Dempsey, had been converted by a missionary in West baptized member of the Church but was sympathetic to Virginia before they moved to Colorado. Hyrum strayed its members and causes. The definition of a Jack Mormon from the Church and eventually divorced Jack’s mother, changed over time, taking on historical, cultural, and reli - but Celia was devout all her life and eventually moved to gious meanings that only further muddy the contextual Salt Lake City.

This book is dedicated to him and his trainer, Wilson Pitts. It is a compilation of all that I have learned throughout my eighteen years of boxing training combined along with techniques from both men. Wilson not only taught and trained Peter Hobbie, but also the boxing pride of Richmond, Virginia, Carl “Piggy” Hutchins. Wilson lived in Philadelphia and studied boxing at Joe Frazier’s gym in the 1970s. It was there that he learned and embraced the techniques of the legendary trainer Eddie Futch. By watching and eventually being accepted as a student of the sweet science by trainers such as George Benton, he was able to learn boxing tactics and knowledge that are unfortunately becoming harder to find as time passes.
