His transition to boxing has yielded Midlands and English honours, Williams vacated both belts after landing an opportunity against British champion, Kash Farooq, in April. Sadly, Williams suffered a first career loss on that night in Glasgow.
Williams returned to winning ways with a routine victory over Jose Aguilar in July and is now ready for a shot at a fringe world honours.

“I’ve progressed quickly and I’m staying motivated, because I believe in myself and what I want to achieve.
“I’ve had my comeback and it was a comfortable win. I’ve been in camp ever since so I will be ready for this shot when it comes around.”
