Summary
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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Critic reviews
"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)

Great story, great comeback
Fair play to Tyson for all he has been through and the way he fought back. And mainly for his openness in talking about his mental illness, I have a massive amount of respect for this and I am sure it will spur others to get the help they need.

Excellent book. Really enjoyed listening on how hard he has worked on his career not only with the boxing but with his own demons. Truly deserves to be the king 🤴

Heartwarming honesty from a champion
Tyson Fury has been a divisive character for some over the years. I have always been a fan so my review is biased.
The story of the rise and fall of any public figure always garners attention from the public. When it happens to such a strong character like Fury it becomes sensationalised.
The only way he has been able to come back and begin his recovery is by being honest and true to his nature. This comes across in this book. It’s well written and honest, sometimes shockingly so.
Very enjoyable book from a fantastic sportsman.

fantastic insight.
awaiting the follow up when the king becomes undisputed linear champion. but then he will retire as the best heavyweight of all time. but then his real purpose in life will begin. good luck champ. im not religious but God bless you.
