Liam Robert Paro (born 16 April 1996) is an Australian professional boxer.

Early life[]

Paro was born and raised in Mackay, Queensland to a family of Italian descent. His first sporting interest came in the form of rugby league where he played for the North Mackay Magpies in the local junior competition.[1] At 13 years of age, he was introduced to the sport of boxing[2] and gave up playing rugby league to focus solely on pursuing a professional career in boxing. In pursuit of higher levels of training, Paro moved to Townsville at 17 years of age[3] before settling in Brisbane as a 20-year-old,[4] where he would regularly train with the likes of future world champion Jeff Horn in the lead up to his monumental victory over legendary Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao.[5]

Professional boxing career[]

Paro vs. Álamo[]

In his international debut, Paro travelled to Tampa where he was victorious over undefeated Puerto Rican Yomar Álamo via split decision on the Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley II undercard.[6]
