In this raw account of his life, the two-time world champion opens up about his journey through the peaks of triumph and victory, and the valleys of despair and heartbreak.
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, Dib, now 37, was a fighter from the day he was born.
Afraid to go to school because of 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 a boxing gym.
He said that as a young boy, he set the bar high and always chased his dreams.
“This book is a story about my life, the highs and lows, love and loss but most of of all it’s a story of resilience and overcoming the odds,“ the former Condell Park High School student said.
Billy describes the elation of becoming a world champion, mixing with international rock stars, friendships with some of the most iconic boxers in the world and his pure bliss on the birth of his son Laith, now aged three, following his marriage to Berry in 2018.
But his 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.
Join Billy on his emotional roller-coaster of life, in the autobiography you won’t be able to put down.
