Fury delivers on his Behind The Mask promise. Beneath the rowdy showmanship is a gifted athlete with bottomless reservoirs of determination and a rare willingness to be frank about his vulnerability to depression […] you may have to take him more seriously than your instincts suggest.
The Sportsman
‘The story of his recovery and resurgence... struck a chord with fans around the world. When his autobiography, Behind the Mask, was released in November 2019, it reached the No 1 spot on Amazon’s charts within 24 hours.’

‘Behind the Mask is his unflinching account of how he overcame his battles with obesity, anxiety, drink and drug abuse, depression and despair to become one of the most exciting fighters of boxing’s modern age.'
Penguin.co.uk
His autobiography Behind The Mask and ITV programme has shown how vulnerable people are to depression and other mental health issues. The country should make him an ambassador for mental health awareness.
Letter from reader, The Sun
Speaking candidly about his struggles with mental health, this is Tyson Fury as you've never seen him before.
Daily Telegraph
I’ve just read Tyson Fury’s book - 'Behind the Mask: My Autobiography' [...] He’s one of the toughest guys in the world admitting to his mental health challenges. And with this in mind, I like his honesty, fragility (yes) and simple message of hope, and how that can be transformational in your life.

Speaking candidly about his struggles with mental health, this is the boxer as you have never heard him before – an unflinching autobiography from one of the greatest athletes of our time and a man who has demonstrated strength of a very different kind by conquering his demons.
