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.

    Sky launches a mobile service in the UK in anticipation of increased competition in convergence December 2016 Heenu Nihalani and Kerem Arsal Sky is the newest entrant to the UK mobile market, and the forthcoming launch of its ‘Sky Mobile’ service brings an alternative fixed–mobile proposition to a relatively nascent convergence market. As a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), it will use O2’s network, and offer 12-month contracts in loose bundles to its fixed subscribers, as well as separately to non-subscribers at a higher price point. Sky reports that over 46 000 people have pre-registered for Sky Mobile, which will be launched in mid-December. This article examines Sky Mobile’s pricing and positioning in more detail, and discusses the effects that this service may have on the UK’s mobile and FMC markets. Sky is clearly targeting its mobile proposition at its current customer base Sky is entering the market with relatively cautious pricing, without aggressive discounting, and with continued focus on premium services. It is a convincing offer for its fixed broadband subscribers, but less so for non- subscribers. The service is positioned to compete in a marketplace increasingly dominated by converged offers following BT’s acquisition of EE in August 2016. Pricing for Sky’s fixed customers is competitive. Prices are tiered around data allowances: GBP10 per month for 1GB, GBP15 for 3GB, and GBP20 for 5GB; each comes with unlimited voice and SMS. The pricing closely matches similar plans from Virgin Media and Vodafone, while BT’s pricing is slightly lower for its FMC bundle subscribers.
