Fighting Back: The Tyson Fury Story
When he outpointed Wladimir Klitschko, Tyson Fury sat on top of the world. But "The Gypsy King" soon discovered that being heavyweight champion wasn't all he had imagined. His own demons would prove harder to conquer than Klitschko. In the following months, Tyson drank and ate to excess, took drugs and contemplated suicide. He seemed destined for an early grave. But, with the help of his family, Fury dealt with his issues and launched a boxing comeback—after shedding an incredible 140 pounds! Fury eased back with a couple of straightforward wins. Then, in what appeared a foolhardy, if very brave, move, he challenged unbeaten KO specialist Deontay Wilder for the WBC heavyweight championship in Los Angeles. The humor-laden, heart-wrenching, inspirational story of a boxer who conquered the world, lost everything—and then got it back.

Excellent portrayal of Tyson Fury’s boxing career from his very first amateur fight up to his first fight with Deontay Wilder. This eye opening story gives the reader a view into the mind of the current king of boxing and chronicles his battles with drug abuse and depression before ultimately defeating both and completing a phenomenal comeback to the top of the boxing world.
