Very honest video mate. To a lesser extent I've had a similar life to yourself, obviously I've never been a professional fighter, but I've lived with drug addiction, I've been in and out of prison, and had mental health problems (still do), but most importantly I give my life to Christ, and haven't looked back since. Thanks for sharing, and keep up the good work 👍👍
As I said on Instagram Paul,you are a top man,a inspiration to the youths of today,you are a inspiration for life to me and I am 57 I too have had addictions but come through them well managing them.I will get your book tomorrow.Take care and I will be following all your stuff you do much respect Paul ✊✊
Well done for admitting that you still struggle with addiction. Too many only talk about problems they used to have, and don't show what they are struggling with in the present.
Respect Paul, wise words! Only come across you recently with the up n coming movie role as Duffy. Researched you and watched a lot of your fights on youtube, impressive mate, absolute beast of a fighter! Look forward to the movie and your book. Take it easy
Hiya mate, don't know if you'll remember me but I messaged you couple of months ago and you said if I wanted I could message you direct, I didnt lol but that was alright of you to say that, its worth a subscription lol
Is there any way of getting a signed copies off you Paul? Been following you from day one mate were from similar backgrounds (stoke) and you've helped me strive to the straight and narrow 👍
I live 15 drive away from south bank if it wasnt for this lockdown and distance shote whats going on id drive over to shake your hand.. keep it up paul your smashing it much respect mate
Never heard a more honest observation of themselves without any bullshit.

I'm a black lad from Brixton and see Paul as a role model he was a top fighter and real role model out of the ring doesn't act tuff but is
