Went from a gangster to politically correct cry baby know it all

Physically tough but mentally like an wet ice cream cone

At 56 yrs old i learnt long ago that.the Dangerous guys are the quiet unassuming looking ones..........

Gloryfying what an absolute prick I actually am !!!!! Should definitely be the title 😂😂💯

*I’ve been training MuayThai & Kickboxing for 5 years & been to Thailand 3 times & fought there. His talk of being a “K1 Champion” is massively exaggerated. I’ve watched his kickboxing fights & they are very low level fights, club level with a mickeymouse belt on promotions nobody has heard of in a club somewhere* *He’s a big fella so if he lands on you he’s hurting you but he’s no world level kickboxer, if he was he’d be fighting on OneFc for 20X the money he’s getting on bkb* *Talking about being known in Jail & people from Liverpool & Manchester knowing of you just screams ego maniac 🤚🏻*

Undefeated in low level K1 Leagues

Stop lying he has never been the toughest anywhere 😂

Not even the hardest in boro, never mind the north 😂

Lee Duffy 😂😂😂 The kid was a total helmet

Absolute jackanory

Hardest in the school at 13 😂😂😂

hardest man in the north britians toughest doorman hes an ex junkie who found god gt on the roids and does bareknuckle againt no marks yawn yawn

He is not the most feared man on the streets 😂

Narcissism dressed up as humility. Don't call him out on anything he'll have a tantrum

So hes the toughest man in the uk .? Says who? Please stop it .

This guy is not the hardest man in the north or Middlesbrough he fears Liam Hartley. He is just good at public relations and playing a character.

Biggest grass in the north. Ask anyone

Jimmy Saville wants his shell suit top back 😂😂😂

1 minute in,talks about stabbing someone.Weapon!

He’s a white collar fighter, he’s never fought in any good organisations. Absolute weapon.

I've known Paul forever and he is a hard man, he is doing so well !! He is just high on life BUT Deserves to be after all he has achieved !! Well done paul keep moving forward.....

Hardest man on the streets what 😂

Defo didnt get a bit o yayo up his beak before this interview lol, this is like that scene in Trainspotting when Spud took speed before a job centre job interview.

Great podcast, it was good to see that side of Paul where he’s open on why he was the way he was. A lot of people online speak badly of Paul but if you listen to his story and what he’s actually saying you’ll hear the remorse the shame in his voice but you have to salute how he’s turned his life around. It’s because of paul men like me have been able to turn their life’s around he shared his story and it’s helped so many people. We are from the same area but Paul doesn’t know me however he still replied back to my message when I was asking for guidance and that guidance helped me get clean, and now expecting my first child with my wife. So thank you Paul, keep the good work up.

One fight and hes the most feared in bare knuckle wake up smell the coffee

Absolute amazing turn around , keep your eyes focus on your saviour though , I've been through the exact same experience only here in northern Ireland ❤

Ask him about The Sayers Chew UP THE BOYS 😂😂😂

No one is scared of this guy , he’s a total Walter Mitty , lied about all his kickboxing accolades etc . Embarrassing

Shook hands with a known convicted s.o because he greased is palm with a ton . No real gard man would do that .

Not known outside of his own street lol

These comments are wild 😂... the highlight 😂 "Brian Cockerill of T side"

I went through sort of the same mentally I new I never fitted in when I was younger. My best friend was a girl did not get in with lads always fighting the older lads. This made me think back to my childhood. Bad. Memories but I'm stronger now.

Loved this podcast. Becoming more a fan of Paul after this

nearly got done in his last fight

As if hardest man got run out is own area for selling white lmfao

A don’t care what anyone says on this, takes a real man to say the stuff he said on here, been through real trauma and came out the other side ❤️

Dumbbo Venis

Paul Respect takes a man to tell his story and as he is helping people by doing this video ,people need to know there aint many of these old school left .turn xboxes of telly radio and phones train be healthy be haply .just like dont let the system bring u down be strong learn from men like him as he opened is heart to the public in a youtube videlo which its impossible to tell your life story in a hour.us kind always help there friends as they cause the trouble us kind end it .my story is simlar i lost my wife my kuds have grown up there cool but when u get older u see most friends aint real .great story good health and respect .

Embarrasing knob end

Listen a guy puts his heart out there and has changed his life like that and people still find the negatives give ur heads a wobble

Liam Hartley and Michael Ferry are his bosses

55.12 venna turned into a scouser 😂😂

Big mick Terrell and Micheal ferry are 2 of the hardest in Britain that’s the fight we all want to see when Micheal gets out the jail

Ability to fight or overcome fear is a gift and a curse at the same time When it mixes with pride and ignorance, it’s poisonous to everybody around you and yourself

Jason Statham’s scary big brother 🤣

That jewellery though 🙈 Tell you what, used to like Paul, but what turned me off is the fact that if he was made if chocolate he'd eat himself. The only guy that would make 5 minute video about his daughter and autism, spends 50 seconds talking about that, then five minutes bigging himself up 🙈 Robbing drug dealers, but was loud and making noise around town? Middlesbrough's own Brian Cockerill 😳💩 So his dad told him to stab someone in neck, then was stopping moving cars on a bridge weeks after the event? Ok mate 👌🏻

but won’t fight Bret may

Great podcast! I've been watching Pauls content for a while now. It's always an interesting watch. You'll also find most of these negative comments are from the same couple of individuals behind many accounts.

I love Paul. He is inspiring me to get clean. Only a weed addiction but its still something id love to get clean from. Great interview ❤

Massive respect Paul it takes a real man to sit there and open up about mental health stay strong brother keep doing what you are doing 💪👊 🙏

Who labelled him the toughest man?

Terrible.fighter if you go off his last fight and ive seen fellas fight outside the pub with more go about them with no training....another person hyped by Chinese whispers and rumour that there like mike tyson in his prime Couldn't be further from the truth

Love The Podcast But Venis And Christie Made Their Name Off The Back Of Deccas . Know Loads Of Tough Sunderland Lads Would Put The Pair Of Them To Bed .

I'm from the next town to him and I know a ton of ppl in both towns. Never heard of this guy

Shat it from Brett May. Shat it from Liam Hartley. Known grass. Shat it from the Sayers. Punches random crackheads and no marks in white collar fight organizations. Paul Venis is a legend inside his own mind only, and certainly not the hardest man in the North 😂😂😂

The hand of God is on you Paul and I can clearly see that you will serve the Lord and preach the gospel. The fight that you participate will be spiritual to destroy the kingdom of darkness by proclaiming Christ as the King. The good news is the Christ has given us the victory on the cross defeating sin and death so we enforce his victory. I can see that both your parents have been praying for you. May you plant a church in Middlesbrough!

Why all the hate for Paul? Sooo many negative comments, he seems like a thoroughly decent chap to me. Made some big errors and is now trying to fill his life with things he enjoys. Admittedly I'm not from the area but he seems pretty cool to me.

Ive only seen him ref or talk about sparring, nobody watches kick boxing

That was like an NA meeting for me/thank's. Paul is so right addiction is a family illness & l am grateful to survive it Amen.

Great interview seems a nice lad god bless him & his family

Are you joking me 😂😂😂😂😂 oh my god the toughest man 😢😢😢 brett may had him shitting him self what a joke

Quazzy 🍊🍊🍊🍊

Awesome podcast mate and god bless Paul all the very best mate

Wtf is this lol

People saying paul fought no one ,stiff blah blah blah .. it takes balls to stand face to face with someone who is intent on hurting you .and to do it with others watching to take the piss etc 🤔 instead of mocking people look at yourselves and ask if you have the balls ?? And if you do post your skills or just stop insulting people.

Should have asked him about "sneaker gate". Wouldnt trust this guy after seeing how he treated a customer. These guys shouldnt get a platform.

Title of the video does him dirty it's bound to bring negative comments from the trolls on Paul.

Paul is a very hard man. But micheal ferry the best in the northeast

Come on you tube most feared man in North? 😂real hard men never talk ,who's this man kidding ? Decca would put him asleep he's a good dad yes but hardest man he bought a ring out of his first bare knuckle against a cherry picked opponent a gold boxing ring cheap crap fake diamonds come on for god sake someone tell truth good luck to man but hardest man in North decca would flatten him

Imagine Venis trying to fight Overeem or Badr Hari 😂

Why is everyone picking on Paul? He never said he was toughest. He said when he was 13 he will grow up to be as tough as his local toughman Duffy. He said he did low level crime stuff and served time in jail. Why is everyone up in arms over this, i have no idea.

Doin well ow allways good to see no matter what you have done and tiur tryi g to turn your life around and even better trying to help others from goin down the same route saving lives is good to see. Yea yiu done what you have done but look at you now people should be hapoy you ha e as your life and peoples lives around tou would be different or you or many others could have lost their lives stayin on that path people should look upto you and be inspired because where you ha e come feom , gone throug and where your at now. Keep up the good work.

There's a lot of comments here, but, I doubt most here would say that to him in person. Also, actually it takes strength to overcome addiction, and falling into it doesn't make you weak, people just don't get it

Stories are true what Paul saying. I was there for a lot of the mad seshes . I’m the same my party days are done now 😁 there is more to life now 😁 ya doing well Paul love ya brother ❤

The title is totally off he's from round my way he's known as a washed up junkie that fights 🤷‍♂️

Something nice about the 1985 retro shell top

So much hate in the comments....wow! Keep looking through the cloud's at the sunshine and focus on what's important to you Paul.

Great story pv, ignore the haters you the man bro🎉

Yes lad mint podcast

Used to like watching venis until I made a comment and he told myself what a prxxk I was, I thought he clearly doesn’t like being told so that was the end of him

17k views mate well done!

Paul ya not all tht!!!-stop actin the bigman

Toughest man in the North? North what? Hemisphere? North of Europe? North of the UK? North of England? North of the North East? North of Middlesbrough? North of his street? Some fckn statement that lads. I know some real hard fellas in the UK so to say he’s the toughest in the North is some statement like. Whose opinion is that by the way? Toughest in his weight class? Considering the UK has some real high level, elite fighters here too…

Love Paul’s message, 👍🙏 from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪

Comes across very well, anyone who says he can’t fight haven’t a clue. Just watch his last bare knuckle fight, takes balls and KO power. But ferry is the most feared man in the north by far

Jesus love's you Paul and thanks for using your testimony and thanks to @contesntcast for putting these amazingly real stories of genuine people

Always somebody better then u. Always.. doesn't matter who u r.

Nice 1 Paul happy for you mate

Great interview. Like venis me and how he speak about things that are hard to talk about. Alot of hate on here but they couldnt fight like this man.

New to the channel impressed sweet man alike t

who said he was the hardest man? dont tell me Paul.what a melt

Danny christy shadow he just Danny's boy

The hardest guy on the streets lol, probably the biggest bully

This blert wouldn't last a week liverpool, proper helmet la

Fantastic podcast. Paul your an inspiration. You keep it real. And how you've moved your life onwards Paul. And for the better. Well done.

Get in a bare knuckle with ferry see how that ends

3:50 why was you beating up paul ?

Who else thought title was a genuine joke or troll regardless it didn't half make me laugh

paul do you think lee duffy smashed cockrill in that fight they were ment to have ?

Ferry is scary Paul isn’t not saying he can’t fight either but Ferry is the one who has the reputation.
