Φιλαδέλφεια (Ιούνιος 8, 2015)–Αυτό Σάββατο, Ιούνιος 13 one of the hottest names in boxing will be back in action as undefeated Jr. Middleweight, Ιουλιανός “J-Ροκ” Williams (19-0-1, 11 KO του) θα αναλάβει Κακή Ovespyan (14-4, 11 KO του) in a 10-round bout for the WBC Continental America’s Jr. Middleweight τίτλο.
The bout will take place in Birmingham, Alabama and be part of the Deontay Wilder – Eric Molina WBC Heavyweight title card that will be televised on Showtime Championship Boxing.
Williams – Ovespyan will be shown live on Showtime Extreme.
“I wanted a bigger fight but if the other top guys are not available,” είπε ο Γουίλιαμς.
“I can’t just sit around and be inactive. I’m still improving. I still have to work on my craft. I still have to make money. So sitting around is not an option for me. At one time people had high hopes for Ovespyan. He’s not a bum and I’m definitely not overlooking him,” είπε ο 25 year-old. “At one point during camp I thought I was fighting Frank Galarza in Brooklyn so I was locked in. Then I thought it would be Jan Zaveck. Who is an ex world champion and took Keith Thurman the 12 round distance so I was still super focused. I’ve been told I will get a big fight in September maybe even a title shot, so there is no way I will have a let down against Ovespyan because if I don’t win I won’t get what I have been asking for. I haven’t lost a round in 2 years since the Joachim Alcine fight and I want to continue to build on that and perfect my craft.”
Williams has earned the moniker, “Ο κ. Do It All” for his versatility in the ring. Williams has proven to be a master boxer and high quality banger when need be.
Williams is currently ranked #8 από το WBC, #10 by the WBA and #10 by ESPN.com
