Resumen del Editor

THE UNDEFEATED HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, IN HIS OWN WORDS

Read by Pound for Pound podcast's Jake Wood, with an introduction read by Tyson Fury.

The UK's bestselling boxing book since records began. Shortlisted for the 2020 Sports Biography of the Year.

The extraordinary story of the rise and fall and rise again of Tyson Fury...

THE GYPSY KING.

A Manchester lad from Irish Traveller stock, born three months premature and weighing just a pound at birth, Tyson (named after his father's boxing hero) grew up to become one of the most unlikely heavyweight champions in history. This 'dream come true' soon turned to nightmare, however, as alcohol and cocaine abuse took hold and Tyson was stripped of his titles. What followed was the darkest moment of his life - detailed in this book for the first time - in which he came within seconds of ending everything.

THE PEOPLE'S CHAMPION.

Like all the greatest stories, though, there is redemption and Tyson defies all the odds and literally drags himself to his feet. 10 million people around the globe watched Fury fight Wilder in the biggest fight of the boxing calendar. Speaking candidly about his struggles with mental health, this is Tyson Fury as you have never seen him before.

A BRITISH ICON.

Behind the Mask is an unflinching autobiography from the greatest boxer of our time and a man who has demonstrated strength of a very different kind by conquering his demons.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Tyson Fury is an amazing real-life champion." (Sylvester Stallone)

"I didn’t believe boxers could be role models, but Tyson Fury has changed my mind...This 30-year-old Mancunian has made us all think twice about the possibilities of redemption." (Simon Kelner, Independent)

"Tyson Fury has become Britain’s most unlikely inspirational figure...the sight of a broken Fury caught a mood with the public. Never was the epitaph 'People’s Champion' more apt." (Ron Lewis, The Times)

Proud of you champ

Great book Tyson! Keep it up! Great representative of people with mental health showing they can overcome.

Interesting book

Half boxing and half about the WBC Heavyweight Champ’s long struggle with depression, OCD, and general mental health. I understand where he’s coming from, and nowI get why he could retire at this time and still lead a very fulfilling life. Trials, tribulations and redemption in dual areas.

Changed my mind

Wasn’t really a fan but after hearing about his struggles and how his story is like so many people who I know I look forward to hearing the next book and watching him win in the ring

Amazing!

Would recommend this book to anyone. Gives a great insight into his career and his battle with mental health. You don’t need to be a boxing fan to enjoy this. Loved every minute of it.

Not just for boxers

Really well written for anyone to enjoy. I’m not into boxing but I was drawn in by his story which is worth the listen if you have experienced depression or know someone who has.

Amazing Story About An Amazing Guy!

The story was great. Cool to get an insight of Tyson‘s mindset before fights and during fights. It’s one thing to watch the highlight real. It’s another to hear what was going through his mind. It was a great read.

Blah…

I couldn’t get through it. I tried… just can’t do it. A running record of the champs fights. Not much for stories, details, or humor. Reads like a baseball card. I know Tyson has a better story than this. Maybe he just isn’t ready to tell it to the world from a real person perspective.
