Paul Weir (born 16 September 1967) is a Scottish former professional boxer who competed from 1992 to 2000. He was a world champion in two weight classes, [1] having held the WBO mini-flyweight title in 1993 and the WBO junior-flyweight title from 1994 to 1995.
Weir turned professional in 1992 and captured the vacant WBO mini-flyweight title in his sixth professional fight, with a TKO win over Fernando Martínez in 1993. He defended the belt once against Lindi Memani and relinquished the belt before moving up in weight to challenge Josue Camacho for the WBO junior-flyweight title. He lost the bout, but Camacho vacated the belt and he defeated Paul Oulden for the vacant WBO junior-flyweight title in 1994. He defended the belt once against Ric Magramo before losing it to Jacob Matlala after Weir was unable to continue due to a deep cut from an accidental headbutt in the fifth round. They rematched the following year and Weir lost via TKO in the tenth. [2]
In 2010, Weir returned to boxing as a trainer. [3] Weir's fighters include Craig Docherty, Derry Mathews, and John Simpson.
In 2022 he received the BJJ Black Belt at Entropy Jiu Jitsu from Professor Thabet Al Taher. [4]
