Covering the entirety of the Gypsy King's career to date, Gloves Off chronicles Fury's tempestuous life from his Travelling upbringing to his battles with mental health and his devotion to his wife and children in compelling, candid prose.
The No-Holds-Barred Autobiography
Tyson pulls no punches in his most candid, comprehensive and entertaining book yet, which chronicles for the first time in full his inspirational story – the rise, the fall, and the rise again, which saw him come back from the brink of suicide to reclaim his heavyweight crown.
Access-all-areas and full of never-before-told stories, Tyson looks back on his life and career to examine what’s really defined him: his Travelling upbringing, his fighting family (including his dad John and his half-brother Tommy), his beloved wife Paris, his 6 beautiful children, his mental health battles, his faith, his boxing rivalries and the fights, pitfalls and challenges along the way.
Tyson shares fascinating blow-by-blow accounts of his inspiring victories against Deontay Wilder, his recovery from the depths of depression, and his journey to reclaiming his world heavyweight title. With revealing intimacy, Tyson also shares new sides to his character: in the weeks before the biggest fight of his career in 2021 the devoted father was sleeping on a hospital floor in intensive care tending to his new-born daughter Athena who was born premature and fighting for her life.
