Illustrations 20. Useful Mental Health Contacts 21. Professional Boxing Record 22. Index About the Author Tyson Fury is the undefeated lineal heavyweight champion of the world. 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.

  • Fury's Comeback Falls Just Short in Los Angeles
    PRESENTS FURY’S COMEBACK FALLS JUST SHORT IN LOS ANGELES GOBSMACKED! By William Dettloff yson Fury made but two mistakes Saturday night against Deontay Wilder, and those mistakes – along with an indefensible scorecard turned in by Alejandro TRochin – resulted in a mostly derided draw ver- dict in front of a purported 17,698 at The Sta- ples Center in Los Angeles. Fury – he of the nearly three-year layoff, manic depression, confessed drug and alcohol binges and morbid obesity – boxed Wilder ragged for the majority of the fight, displaying a quickness, dexterity and nimbleness of foot that belied his 6’9”, 256-pound frame. He consistently ducked, rolled with or slipped under Wilder’s attacks, which admittedly were crude at best, and feinted Wilder into knots before stepping forward with short, crisp combinations. “I’m what you call a pro athlete that loves to box,” Fury said afterward. “I don’t know anyone on the planet that can move like that. That man is a fearsome puncher and I was able to avoid that. The world knows I won the fight,” he said. Such was Fury’s early dominance that there was perhaps one round out of the first six that the clear-eyed and uncor- rupted could reasonably give to Wilder. Rochin gifted him the first four, which at the end contributed to an inexplica- ble 115-111 card. Judges Robert Tapper and Phil Edwards scored it a more reasonable 114-112 for Fury and 113-113, respectively. RINGSIDE SEAT saw Fury the winner by a 115-111 margin.

  • Wxw Holds Keynote on Wxw NOW Streaming
    wXw holds keynote on wXw NOW streaming service, announces details on Germany's first wrestling network wXw just announced the first in-depth details on our new "wXw NOW" streaming network, which will launch one month from now on 8/13 at www.wxwnow.de. It will not just be a collection of shows like a lot of companies offer for a monthly fee via Pivotshare but also offer original content and a lot of archived shows, some dating back as far as 2006. We will also have our uniquely designed interface/UI, while hosting and infrastructure will be managed by Vimeo, our long-time streaming partner, dating back to 2013. Wrestling journalist Markus Gronemann (DarkMat.eu, Wrestling Observer) considers this to be the biggest launch of an over-the-top pro wrestling channel by a single promotion since New Japan World. wXw Managing Director Christian Jakobi held a keynote presentation tonight at 8 pm CEST at the wXw Wrestling Academy training school, which was streamed live on Facebook (the video is available, albeit only in German, here) and talked about what future and past events and what kind of original content would be available. We had up to 750 viewers simultaneously on Facebook and also had some students and a trainer (Toby Blunt) in attendance to provide some crowd noise and cheering at key points during the announcement. Marquee Events are wXw's version of pay-per-view caliber shows, where feuds start and end and international talent often appears. There currently are 10 marquee events on the calendar, with some of them being multi-day shows:

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: John Stouffer Wednesday, May 16, 2018 [email protected] UFC WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION WOODLEY AND RETIRED CONTENDER FLORIAN SERVE AS DESK ANALYSTS WITH HOST BRYANT FOR FS1 UFC FIGHT NIGHT: MAIA VS. USMAN No. 1 Flyweight Contender Shevchenko Makes Analyst Debut with Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Werdum and Santiago on FOX Deportes LOS ANGELES – Today, FOX Sports announces UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and retired contender Kenny Florian to serve as desk analysts alongside lead UFC host Karyn Bryant for FS1 UFC FIGHT NIGHT: MAIA VS. USMAN programming on Friday, May 18 and Saturday, May 19. Blow-by-blow announcer Brendan Fitzgerald and veteran MMA analyst Jimmy Smith call the bouts live Octagon-side from Santiago, Chile. Laura Sanko adds reports and interviews fighters on-site. In addition, No. 1-ranked flyweight contender Valentina Shevchenko makes her analyst debut alongside former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum and Troy Santiago calling the fights in Spanish on FOX Deportes. Two elite welterweights headline UFC’s first visit to Chile as Kamaru Usman (11-1) faces former title challenger Demian Maia (25-8) in a five-round main event in Santiago. Winner of 11 bouts in a row, including seven in the Octagon over the likes of Leon Edwards and Sergio Moraes, the No. 7-ranked Usman has been a nightmare matchup for everyone he’s faced. He expects similar results against the Brazilian grappling wizard Maia, the No. 5 contender at 170 pounds, who owns wins against top contenders Jorge Masvidal, Carlos Condit, Matt Brown, Neil Magny and Gunnar Nelson.

While steps will be taken to keep Tyson Fury away from Jessica Ennis-Hill, it may also be wise to put Greg Rutherford at the opposite end of the room to the recently crowned heavyweight champion of the world. It was Fury’s sexist comments about Ennis-Hill, combined with his forthright views aligning homosexuality and pedophilia, that riled Rutherford enough for the Olympic long jump champion to withdraw from the SPOTY 2015 running before changing his mind. Joining the chorus of condemnation for Fury are Northern Ireland’s largest gay rights group the Rainbow Project, who this week labeled his comments as ‘extremely callous’ and ‘erroneous’. In response to Fury’s insistence that a woman’s place is ‘in the kitchen or on her back’, feminist group Fight4Equality has blasted the self-titled Gypsy King’s ‘neanderthal worldview’ insisting Fury ‘should not be feted as a role model for young people.’ Both groups will be joined by other LGBT campaigners outside Belfast’s SSE Arena on Sunday evening to picket the BBC, angry that the show will go on despite vocal public opposition to Fury’s involvement.
