Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder came to boxing on different paths. Wilder was a promising basketball and American football player and dreamed of playing in the NFL. Those dreams were shattered when his daughter was born with spina bifida and Wilder looked for a day job to help with her medical bills. He first stepped into a boxing gym aged nineteen and never looked back, winning bronze at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and knocking everybody out on his way to winning the WBC heavyweight championship of the world. Born prematurely and fighting for his life, Fury's father John called his son after Mike Tyson, the at the time reigning heavyweight champion. Fury grew into a mountain of a man and followed the family tradition of prizefighting. The charismatic and outspoken Gypsy King breathed new life into British heavyweight boxing and got his wish to face and dethrone the dominant Wladimir Klitschko. After a three-year break in his career where Fury battled UKAD and faced his personal demons, he returned to the ring and challenged Wilder for his WBC title. Their three epic battles equalled the rivalries of Ali-Frazier and Holyfield-Bowe. A Modern Day Rivalry takes you from both men's early beginnings and tells the story of the heavyweight title during their ascendency from professional debut to world title contenders.

"Barbershops are synonymous with great memories, and nostalgic by the smells and feeling of a fresh cut or shave. Barbershops of America is the product of a 7-year journey by Rob Hammer, who traveled to all 50 states of the USA, documenting the disappearing old-school barbershop and the men who were staples of their community. Photographs and stories chronicle the barbershops of old, but also capture the stark contrast that is the "next generation" of traditional barbers. These new-school barbers may look like the polar opposite of what a traditional barber would look like, yet despite the obvious difference in the way these professionals carry themselves, their purpose is consistent: to carry on the tradition that they love."--Back cover
