Paul Hodkinson Biography

Paul Hodkinson is one of the most popular and richest Professional Boxer who was born on September 14, 1965 in United Kingdom.

Paul Hodkinson first caught the eye as an amateur bantamweight in the 1984-85 season with a series of good displays for young England and later for the full international side; but John Davidson a hard hitting and mature Northerner proved a little too rugged for him and Hodkinson’s ABA title campaign came to an abrupt finish in the first round.

With the 1986 Commonwealth Games taking place in the summer, Hodkinson was an automatic selection and in most experts’ view a clear favourite for the featherweight gold. Hodkinson had other ideas, he had already decided to turn pro. His amateur days ended in acrimony with him being ‘expelled’ from the games panel for failing to report for training. He was in America where he was given the chance to spar with some of the top fighters in the world. Hodkinson had sparred with six world champions in the shape of Sot Chitalada, Hilario Zapata, Bernardo Pinango, Barry McGuigan, Brian Mitchell and Antonio Esparragoza.

Hodkinson then defended his European title against rugged Frenchman Farid Benredjeb. Like Peter Harris the ‘teak-tough’ Algerian had never been stopped or been on the canvas before meeting Hodkinson and his French handlers, the Acaries brothers considered Benredjeb to be un-stoppable. Showing what an exciting fighter he is, Hodkinson put on a display of powerful combination punching with great accuracy and hand speed to stop the challenger. Hodkinson had outclassed the best in Europe and was ready to fight at the highest level. In March 1990 at the G-Mex Manchester Hodkinson fought in a world title final eliminator when he stopped Mexican Eduardo Montoya in three rounds, but not before he was on the canvas himself for the first time in his professional career. In the first round Hodkinson had the Mexican down twice and moved in to finish when Montoya was apparently there for the taking. Carelessly Hodkinson was caught by a sucker right hand and paid the penalty. The Mexican wasn’t in as much trouble as he appeared to be in, and Hodkinson, misjudged the situation as did everyone else in the audience.

Perhaps the best performance of Hodkinson’s career was to stop Ricardo Cepeda in the fourth round (February 1993) for his third defence. Cepeda came with a good reputation, having failed on points to beat Villasana 18 months previously, a decision which was hotly disputed at the time. However Hodkinson never allowed the Puerto Rican to settle, hitting him with a barrage of combination punches until the referee intervened.
