Der Preis würdigt einen ganz besonders emotionalen Moment, der in den letzten zwölf Monaten den Sport geprägt hat. • Es gibt ein zweiteiliges Auswahlverfahren zur Ermittlung der Gewinner der Laureus World Sports Awards. Zuerst nominiert ein Gremium von weltweit führenden Sportredakteuren, Sportautoren und Sportreportern aus über 100 Ländern sechs Personen (bzw. Teams) für jede Kategorie. Die Stimmen werden durch die unabhängige Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP geprüft, dann bestimmen die Mitglieder der Laureus World Sports Academy in geheimer Wahl die Gewinner. • Die Verleihung der Laureus World Sport Awards wird von Millionen von Zuschauern in über 160 Ländern im Fernsehen verfolgt. • Die Laureus World Sports Awards werden von weltberühmten Größen aus Sport, Unterhaltung, Wirtschaft und der Modewelt besucht. • In der Vergangenheit fanden die Laureus World Sports Awards in Monaco, Lissabon, Estoril, Barcelona, St. Petersburg, Abu Dhabi, London, Rio de Janeiro, Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai und Berlin statt. • Laureus wurde von seinen Stiftern Richemont und Daimler gegründet und wird von seinen Partnern Mercedes-Benz, IWC Schaffhausen und Allianz unterstützt. • Laureus ist das lateinische Wort für Lorbeer – das universale Symbol für den Sieg im Sport. • Jeder Gewinner erhält eine exklusiv von Cartier hergestellte Laureus Statuette.

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.
