There are only so many time you can hear him mention the importance of "passion", "being relentless", "never being outworked", "focusing on your goals". Some of the later chapters just feel like a repeat of earlier ones. He basically says the same thing over and over.

There are a handful of anecdotes which are interesting, including during his time doing poker, but his excessive fawning over Anthony Joshua in particular is a bit nauseating.

He has a much better book in him eventually shedding more light on events in the world of boxing, negotiating fights, being a promoter, and what people are really like behind the scenes/off camera. This book isn't it.

Completely agree with this. Its interesting when he tells an anecdote but they are few and far between. Its basically all business speak and motivational nonsense. Clearly saving the stories up for another book. Disappointing if truth be told.
