Paul Buchanan (born October 23, 1981] in Newcastle, England) is a professional boxer, fighting out of West Denton. He turned pro on January 31, 2001.
Buchanan has faced strong opposition early in his career, winning a controversial decision over Jason McKay in 2004 -- Buchanan's gloves touched the canvas in the 5th round, according to published reports, but the referee neglected to score the knockdown -- and his lone draw against Wayne Pinder in 2005.
After a nearly year-and-a-half layoff, he is scheduled to box in The Contender Challenge: UK vs. USA, facing Jerson Ravelo.
