'Suffering with chronic asthma during the first few months of life, and growing up in one of only two Lebanese families in a tough suburb of Sydney, Billy Dib was a fighter from the day he was born. Afraid to go to school because of the constant bullying, with the strength of his faith, he learned to fight with resilience and humility. His destiny was paved from the moment he walked into the boxing gym at Sutherland PCYC.
'Two-time world champion boxer, Billy Dib, relates his journey from triumph and victory to the depths of despair, from jubilation to heartbreak, in this candid and vulnerable account of the highs and lows of his life. In this book, Billy shares with you the elation of becoming a world champion, his stories of international rock stars, friendships with some of the most iconic boxers in the world and his pure bliss on the birth of his son. But his emotional journey takes you deeper, through his sorrow at the passing of his first wife to cancer, and the ‘hardest fight of his life’ – surviving cancer himself.
'There were many days he could have given up, but his surrender to his faith and the ultimate need and longing to be the best father to his son kept the fight, and himself, alive!
'Join Billy on his emotional roller-coaster of life in the autobiography you won’t be able to put down!' (Publication summary)
