Terrible news to hear, All I can say is I hope he is able to walk eventually. I’m glad it was not fatal though.
Sorry for him I hope he walk again, this show the cares the boxer have to have with their live and carrers!!! Prayers for you champ!!!!!

Hope he can at least walk again. This sucks. Thought he could could give Alvarez his biggest test. Terrible tragedy. Be strong Paul, our prayers are with you!
as a previous owner of a bike and one that totaled his bike. I forget how lucky I was and how serious the consequences can be. Chico Corrales and now maybe the end of Paul Williams career. Thoughts and hopes for a speedy recovery as well.
Holy shit, this really does suck. Wow. Athletes, you need to be extra careful on bikes. Really hoping he can walk again and live a normal life. Sounds like boxing is over for him……..
