Paul Griffin: The Pro Years - Part 2
Listen now
Description
Paul Griffin was training under Brendan Ingle, alongside world featherweight champ Prince Naseem Hamed, promoted by Frank Warren and about to put his unbeaten record on the line. Then the Dean Pithie fight happened and suddenly it seemed like the prince of Dublin boxing was set for the scrapheap. No longer needed by the fight bosses, and with the lure of the party life back home proving too strong, he took off to Australia to get away from it all. There, he had ten fights - along with a few too many bouts of inactivity - and here, Paul fills in the blanks on some of those forgotten years, while talking about his inspirational recovery to get to where he is today - coaching the next generation of talented young Dubs.
