A redemption tale like no other: Behind the Mask is an unflinching autobiography from the British People's Champion that details - for the first time ever - the extraordinary story of the rise and fall and rise again of Tyson Fury
During his storied 36-fight career, Tyson Fury has established
himself as one of the best heavyweight fighters of all time.
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' first shocked the
boxing world in 2015, when he stunned long-time champion Wladimir
Klitschko to win the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles.
Due to struggles with his mental health, Tyson 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. Tyson was victorious in the second fight
against Deontay Wilder in February 2020, defeating his opponent by
seventh-round technical knockout. In October 2021, Tyson concluded
the trilogy with victory against Deontay Wilder by an emphatic
eleventh-round technical knockout. In March 2022, Fury successfully
defended his heavyweight crown at Wembley Stadium against Dillian
Whyte, winning by knockout with a devastating uppercut in the sixth
round.
Outside of the ring, Tyson Fury is a mental health ambassador. He
lives with his wife Paris and seven children in Morecambe, and most
mornings can be found running and training along Morecambe Bay.
Speaking candidly about his struggles with mental health, this is
Tyson Fury as you've never seen him before.
*Daily Telegraph*
