Taming the Tiger from the Depths of Hell to the Heights of Glory: The Remarkable True Story of a Kung Fu World Champion Anthony, Tony and Little, Angela

Tony Anthony grew up in a brutal kung fu training compound in Cyprus, raised by his Chinese grandfather to be a weapon. By seventeen, he was a world champion fighter. By his twenties, he was working as a bodyguard for international crime syndicates, dealing violence across three continents. The life spiraled — prison in Cyprus on a murder charge, solitary confinement, psychological collapse. Then, in a cell designed to break him, something shifted. This is the story of a man who went from being one of the most dangerous fighters alive to finding redemption in the last place he expected. Written with Angela Little, it's unflinching about the violence and surprisingly raw about the transformation. For readers drawn to extreme survival stories, martial arts memoirs, or tales of profound personal change.
