Paul is/was at the top of his game and is currently on a 5 win streak so
why would such great competitor retire? This is what he had to say on
the Cage Warriors forum:
"This is for the fighters, fans, promoters and
trolls alike.
As of now i will be stepping down as Cage Rage Champion (British and
world), FX-3 Champion and KOTR champion. I vacate all these titles.
Futher more i consider my self retired (from all MMA/Thai boxing) as of
March 29th. March 29th i will fullfill my contracted commitment for Pro
Elite, against a yet un named opponent.
No speculation, No futher annonucments, once i've found the path i
originally set out on in the Martial Arts, i may return to this SPORT,
Maybe 6months-Maybe 6 years, who knows.
Who will be the next welterweight CRC champ. FX-3 champ????...
Thanks"
Hopefully we will see him back in action again one day. Paul bows out on
a record of 25 professional MMA fights 17-6-2. Paul is going to carry on
with his training seminars still.
