I'm from the same town as Paul Sykes. He was a regular in 'reports from the courts' in the nineties. Attacked a disabled bloke with a weapon once. Horrendous human being - best forgotten.

Watched a thing on YouTube about him. Came across a right horrible piece of work.gb wrote:I'm from the same town as Paul Sykes. He was a regular in 'reports from the courts' in the nineties. Attacked a disabled bloke with a weapon once. Horrendous human being - best forgotten.
Re: Paul Sykes - British & Commonwealth title contender
I never understood how he made it to Singapore and about 5 other countries between being released in 84 and going back in 85. All in his same pumps... passport? Money?.....reason?
If that doesn’t sound outlandish - he claimed to have swum the straits between two of those countries
He never sounded bonkers either.

Have you watched the Forty Minutes doc called 'Dangermen'? It's on YouTube. Paul appears in that too as well as some other interesting characters.
