Paul revealed: "His track workouts are absolutely brutal, long runs, sprinting. Not a lot of breaks. It's hot in Puerto Rico and muggy.
"So you really find out who you are, like I said, in those moments and I just have that voice while I'm running that's wanting to quit but you just have to push through that.
"And I think that's the art of fighting and in the ring you have those moments where your body is telling you to give up but you just have to push to the next round and keep going."

"So really it's just the long line and I just need more time but I'm gonna get to all of these names when the stars aligned."

Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
