Paul grew up in Sheffield, England and talks about his upbringing which included spending some years in Jamaica as a kid. He had a modest amateur career in his own words, but it was always Paul's ambition to turn professional and he would begin his pro career with very mixed results, winning only 3 of his first 7 contests. Paul was eager to improve and spent a number of years training and fighting in Canada alongside former Olympic medalist and world amateur champion, Shawn O'Sullivan.

Paul would soon return to England and begin winning fights over the next 3 years. In 1992 after a stoppage defeat to Paul Wesley, he would retire from the sport and be out of the ring for over 2 years and would face many dark days. When he would decide to return to the sport, he would train and spar alongside Irish boxers, Eamon Loughran and Steve Collins under the Barry Hearn Matchroom stable. Then in 1995, he would win his first major title when he stopped Damien Denny at the Ulster Hall in April, 1995 for the WBO Inter-continental title. This win would lead to an unexpected World title shot against champion, Verno Phillips in Paul's hometown of Sheffield. Paul would put on the performance of his life to win a points decision and become Britain's first Light-Middleweight world champion.

Paul opens up about the tough times that would follow after this moment as he was stripped of his title due to politics and never defended the title. He would fight on for 7 more years and claim a Commonwealth Middleweight title and WBC International Super-Middleweight title. Paul finally talks about how life has been since retirement and also about his new autobiography which will be released later this year.
