Paul “The Ultimate” Vaden won the I.B.F. World Jr. Middleweight Championship in August 1995, beating Vince Pettway by a TKO in the 12th round. In his next fight he lost to Hall of Famer Terry Norris by decision in a unification bout. In 1999, Paul was involved in a boxing tragedy when his opponent Stephen Johnson died 15 days after he lost a fight to Vaden. Johnson was fighting while under suspension from a previous TKO loss in Canada earlier that year. Paul retired after one more fight after the Johnson tragedy with a stellar 29-3 professional in 2000. Recently Dave Selwyn had the opportunity to have a conversation and catch up with Paul “The Ultimate” Vaden. [details]
