Gloves Off: Tyson Fury Autobiography

Product Information

A lot of it has already been told in his previous books but it makes no difference because it's all relevant, and keeps you updated. He lives with his wife Paris and seven children in Morecambe, and most mornings can be found running and training along Morecambe Bay.

One expects a multiple world boxing champ to be a chiseled specimen, but somehow this man who describes himself as a "dad-bod" has defeated many of those muscle-bound men. If you have read Behind the Mask a lot of the same information is here, but with the benefit of having time to reflect on everything that happened to Tyson throughout his life his early life/career, his breakdown and his second career. There is no mention, for example, of Daniel Kinahan, the alleged Irish gangster based in Dubai, whom Fury publicly thanked in 2020 for his work as a boxing promoter. So open and honest and since watching his struggles with mental health and how honest he is about that side of his life really made me appreciate him as a person a lot.If you are a fan of the sweet science, however, it is undeniable that Fury is one of the greats, and it's fascinating to see what kind of mindset got him there! Which fights get made, and which fights don’t, comes down to a number of opaque factors, but image and presentation can often be as important as style and ability. Key to a good sports autobiography is that you get an insight into the real person and the key successes and failures information you didn’t know. Tyson’s book reveals surprising and personal new sides to his character: he opens up about his fairy-tale romance with beloved wife Paris, and their down-to-earth life raising six beautiful children. I bought this a while back just before the 'At home with the Furys' series aired on Netflix and started reading it in between other books but after popping out a couple of weeks ago and spotting the Gypsy Kings car It gave me a big ole nudge to crack on and finish this fantastic book.

Had this book been written by a third party, I suspect they would have been more aware of the regular contradictions that appear, with Tyson wanting to be both the hardest studier of the game, obsessing over detail, as well as the most relaxed free-wheeling guy who can train how he likes, eat how he likes and still come away with the victory. Finally, I am thankful that Tyson is happy to be candid about his own battles with his mental health. He's 6ft 9in, nimble and a boxing great - but it's the Gypsy King's internal monologue that makes him No 1. I’m a massive Tyson Fury fan and enjoyed this book - wasn’t so keen on Jake Wood narrating it but got used to him. This book concludes with providing information and a motivational message for any people struggling with their own health issues.
