Now, in this astounding and hilarious tell-all autobiography, Belfort narrates a story of greed, power, and excess that no one could invent.

'It seems like it's a circus act, isn't it, pulling out all these greats and that,' he added. However Fury was having none of it as he insists that 'he shouldn't have been allowed to fight' in the first place. Triller have also been accused of ' lying' to the public after it was later revealed that Holyfield's comeback fight against Belfort was merely an exhibition, despite being promoted as a professional bout.
