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.

  • WAR and PEACE MY STORY RICKY HATTON with Tris Dixon
    WAR AND PEACE MY STORY RICKY HATTON with Tris Dixon PAN BOOKS PROLOGUE It was not supposed to end this way. I was in the Manchester Arena and the fans were singing my name. That part was right, at least. They chortled ‘Walking in a Hatton Wonderland’ with the same vigour and passion that they always had, and as I left the prize ring for the fi nal time they cheered and applauded. My face was black and blue and swelling rapidly, and I had lost for just the third time in my career. They always say that comebacks are ill-advised but I never did listen to them much. It was my life, my career, my decision. Although I knew it was going to be an emotional night, I could never have guessed exactly how incredible and unique it would turn out to be. You have to be a professional boxer to actually appreciate what it means to come out to a crowd of 20,000 raucous fans like that. I know you have your trainer and your team behind you, but you don’t share the love with your teammates like you do in other sports; it comes all on you, only you and all at once. 1 RICKY HATTON There was an eruption when I stood on the stage waiting to walk to the ring, and I prepared to hold my head high as my music, ‘Blue Moon’, kicked in. In that instant, I’m stood there alone and I prepare to step through the wall of noise that awaits.
