In his first book professional boxer and social media star, Tommy Fury, reveals what life is like juggling his many identities: boxing champion, TV star, mental health advocate, and father, and navigating the most difficult period of his life in August 2024. Since writing this book, some things have changed for me. In the last couple of weeks, I have felt like my voice has been taken away from me. I am really proud of my book and I wanted to give it as current an ending as it is possible. We were able to delay the first print run because I do have something to add and where better than here, a place where I can speak freely and feel safe. When Tommy Fury realised as a young boy that he wanted to become a boxer, the odds were stacked against him. His father was sent to prison when Tommy was only nine, casting his family life into chaos. He couldn't afford a bus ticket to the gym to train, so he'd have to walk three hours instead. When he got there, everyone wanted to fight him - guys much older than him and twice his size - to say they could beat a Fury.In Lightning Can Strike Twice, Tommy Fury opens up about his incredible story - defying pressure and triumphing regardless of the weight of expectation on his shoulders - and the many sides to his life. He shares unfiltered stories about his experience on Love Island, candid insight into his life with Molly-Mae and as a father to their daughter Bambi, and a glimpse behind the scenes of what life is like as part of the UK's most popular family - including never-before-seen personal photos.Tommy Fury wasn't supposed to succeed. How could another champion come out of the family that had already produced Tyson Fury? In this open, honest memoir, Tommy shows that lightning can strike twice and that there's more to being a Fury than knowing how to fight.
