Paul Sykes from Lupset near Wakefield, died aged 60 in Pinderfield's Hospital from Pneumonia & Cirrhosis of the Liver. He fought for the British & Commonwealth Heavyweight Boxing Titles, wrote the award-winning book 'Sweet Agony' and by the age of 44 he had spent 21 out of 26 years in 18 prisons! On the tenth anniversary of Paul's death I released 'Sykes-Unfinished Agony',which went on to be a best seller on Amazon and was a collection of fifty different interviews from people who knew Paul. I was contacted by so many people about Paul but there had to be deadline for the first book and for various reasons I couldn't get to everybody who wanted to share their memories of him, good, bad or indifferent. This played on my mind, there were some gritty stories that I just couldn't leave untold and when Paul's closest friend, Delroy Showers and other infamous names such as Chris Lambrianou agreed to give me interviews, I just couldn't leave it there so, I just had to write another book.
