Tyson Fury Kills the Klitschko Myth

This is the story of a man who came from 10 generations of bare knuckle fighters and climbed right to the summit of boxing - at a time when nobody outside his close circle gave him a chance. Tyson Fury went to Germany and took four world heavyweight titles from the unbeaten champion Wladimir Klitschko. It was an astonishing success that left the previously all conquering Klitschko camp gasping in disbelief. Tyson was born prematurely, a weak one pound baby whose survival was in doubt. His father, who fought under the name Gypsy John Fury, took one look, predicted he would be heavyweight champion one day - and named him Tyson after world champion Mike. It all came true in one amazing night in Dusseldorf. Physically he's a giant, mentally he's a champion. Yet all his life he's been an outsider, a proud member of the Irish travelling community. Now he's won the titles - he stays true to his values. Controversial and charismatic Tyson is a modern champion who links back to the very first, 19th century holder of the crown, the fabulous John L. Sullivan. This is a story with a difference and the biggest difference is Tyson himself. You'll relish getting to know more about him.
