Book tour comes to Battlefords

On 10 January , Fury made an announcement through his Twitter account stating he would be re-applying for his boxing licence through the British Boxing Board of Control , before mentioning he would defend his Ring Magazine title in April At a press conference in London on 12 April , Fury announced he had signed a multi-deal with Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions.

He stated that intended to fight at least three times before , starting on 9 June at the Manchester Arena in Manchester. This would make Fury's first time fighting at the arena and his first fight in Manchester since Seferi was a career cruiserweight, having fought once at heavyweight losing to Manuel Charr in It was said that Fury had lost pounds for the fight.

Fury won the fight after Seferi quit on his stool after round 4. He was then warned by referee Phil Edwards in round 2. A brawl also broke out in the crowd during the fight, but order was restored before the fight came to an end.

Fury began to unload heavy shots in round 4 and it appeared many of the shots landed had hurt Seferi, hence why he retired on his stool. It was revealed the fight, which aired exclusively on BT Sport 1 , peaked at , live viewers. On 12 July , it was announced that Fury would fight former two-time world title challenger Francesco Pianeta , 21 KOs on 18 August. Pianeta came in at Fury also had to come through in his bout against Pianeta.

Referee Steve Gray scored the fight —90 in favour or Fury. He said, "I think it was a calculated boxing performance. I got 10 rounds with a very tough man under my belt. I was working on my jab, slipping his punches. I thought that was a step up with the opponent and display.

I needed the rounds, and I had plenty left in the tank. During the post-fight interviews, promoter Warren confirmed the Fury vs. Wilder fight was on. This man has been trying to make a fight with another chump. They called, I answered. He was the world heavyweight champion. All of the terms are agreed. Both boxers would see this increase to their base purses after receiving their percentages from pay-per-view revenue.

The weight was only 2 pounds less than he weighed in August against Francisco Pianeta, however he looked more slim and lean. For his last bout, Wilder weighed pounds. However it was said that Wilder suffered from an illness during his training camp. Fury and his wife Paris married in In September Fury expressed a desire to run as an independent candidate to be the UK Member of Parliament for Morecambe and Lunesdale , opining that the government were too focused on immigrants and not enough on homeless people and those with drug and alcohol problems.

He also suggested that Britain should leave the European Union. Fury said in April that he had suffered more 'racial abuse' since becoming world champion, because "nobody wants to see a gypsy do well". I will always be a gypsy, I'll never change. I will always be fat and white and that's it. I am the champion yet I am thought of as a bum. I am moving out of the country. I am going to America where champions are better thought of. I am moving to Los Angeles where people have a better life. I made the decision last week to go where people admire success.

In , Fury told an interviewer before his first fight at Madison Square Garden that he would "hang" his own sister if she was promiscuous. Shortly before winning the world titles in November , Fury publicly argued that performance-enhancing drugs which he denied taking should be permitted in boxing and other sports. It's none of my concern really, but if the governing bodies want to do that then I think it would be a bit fairer because you've got all them people taking drugs and when you face a man who is not taking drugs it becomes unfair, doesn't it?

After the world championship fight, he stated that he had been cautioned against potential cheating tactics by the Klitschko camp, of which he provided no evidence, and he would not even drink water in the locker room post-fight because of fears that he would be drugged.

In May the Fury team released a training camp update video which included Fury voicing opposition to transgender people and also to bestiality and rape but suggested they might eventually be legalised, due to the increasing number of formerly taboo practises becoming accepted, and saying: Be brainwashed by them all. The group made a complaint to the British Boxing Board of Control.

Fury subsequently apologised, saying: I said some things, which may have hurt some people, which as a Christian man is not something I would ever want to do. Though it is not an excuse, sometimes the heightened media scrutiny has caused me to act out in public. I mean no harm or disrespect to anyone and I know more is expected of me as an ambassador of British boxing and I promise in future to hold myself up to the highest possible standard.

Anyone who knows me personally knows that I am in no way a racist or bigot and I hope the public accept my apology. After winning the world titles he was nominated for the Sports Personality of the Year shortlist, but attracted significant criticism in the media relating to statements he had made which his critics called "sexist and homophobic". His nomination ignited a lingering controversy which began even before the Klitschko fight, when Fury seemingly likened homosexuality to paedophilia when he said: One of them is homosexuality being legal in countries, one of them is abortion and the other is paedophilia.

So who would have thought in the 50s and early 60s that those first two would be legalised. The Bible was written a long time ago, wasn't it, from the beginning of time until now so if I follow that and that tells me it's wrong, then it's wrong for me. I wouldn't be a very good Christian if I hated anybody. If Jesus loves the world, I love the world.

Fury also stated that Olympic and world champion heptathlete, Jessica Ennis-Hill , a fellow contender for the BBC award, "slaps up good" and that she "looks quite fit in a dress. It's all a bit of tongue in cheek and if I've said anything in the past that's hurt anybody, I apologise to anyone that's been hurt by it. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Written in a light style; surprisingly not-so-grim, for some fairly grim subject matter..

The author is definitely a storyteller because at times, I forgot it was non-fiction. Half way through the 2nd book! Oct 30, Marie Aline rated it really liked it. Many times I had to stop and remind myself that I was reading a true story. I would have liked a little more closure at the end of the book, but being that its the first in a series, it definitely kept me perked and wanting to move on to the second. A very honestly written book. Jun 12, Mary rated it it was amazing. I highly recommend reading this series.
