Booth's father is Black British, while his mother is White British, making him mixed-race. Booth had high ambitions for himself after moving from Nottingham to be based in Sheffield, to which Booth stated: "I've made a few sacrifices for my boxing to get where I am ... I gave up a nice home in Nottingham to sleep on a few floors in Sheffield so I could be close to the Wincobank gym." When Booth was growing up, he admired Naseem Hamed, Junior Witter and Esham Pickering.Booth began boxing at the Phoenix Amateur Boxing Club in Gedling, Nottingham, before transferring to the Wincobank gym in Sheffield, under the tutelage of Brendan Ingle and his sons John and Dominic.Booth made his professional debut on 29 October 2005 at the Beach Ballroom in Aberdeen, Scotland, with him going the full six-rounds, defeating Donvill Hendricks via a points decision. Referee Paul Graham scored the fight 59–56 in favour of Booth. On 8 November 2005, Booth rematched Hendricks at the Leeds United FC Banqueting Suite, which resulted in referee Mickey Vann scoring the fight 59–56 in Booth's favour. On 27 February 2006, Booth fought Jason Welborn in this third professional fight, with the fighter being a push too far for Welborn and after a tough fight became the first person to stop Welborn, whom was knocked out by a clubbing right-hook in the third round. Welborn later stated that "Booth who was about a stone heavier than me on the night, way too big ... Shortly after, I took a break from boxing ...." Following his destruction of Welborn, Booth won a unanimous decision against Slovakian Richard Turba at Norbreck Castle Hotel in Blackpool. For his fifth-fight, Booth travelled to Lanzarote, Spain, where he lost a close points decision to future Spanish super-middleweight champion, Alexis Callero.
