Paul Bunyip

Background
Paul Bunyip grew up in Cape Town, South Africa, but he moved with his parents to Perth, Australia at the age of 13. While he considers himself more of an Australian than an African, Bunyip does own an African ox for a pet, which he affectionately named "Aweemawhey."

In his spare time, Bunyip is a lumberjack. He enjoys chopping down trees by hand with his sturdy axe that he was given as a high-school graduation present by his parents. Bunyip even participates in lumberjack competitions, most of which are outside of Australia since there aren't many trees in the Outback that aren't protected by the government. He has close to a dozen lumberjack trophies in his home on the outskirts of Perth.

He will not play the didgeridoo, Randy.

Paul is very good friends with current HCL Heavyweight Champion Jorgi Magumbo.

On June 12, 2016, it was announced that Paul Bunyip would be the Most Glorious Invitation to the 2016 93kg KUMITE Tournament, beginning in August. This indicated the end of his HCL contract.
