| Summary |
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.

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!
