Jimmy Williams finally gets his “world title fight”
بوسطن (مارس 2, 2021) – New Haven (CT) super welterweight boxer جيمي “Quiet Storm” ويليامز will finally get what he calls “his world title fight” tonight against former world champion يوري فورمان in an 8-round bout for the vacant American Boxing Federation USA super welterweight championship, at the Kentucky Center for African Americans in Louisville, Kentucky.
رئيس العمال (35-3, 10 كوس), القتال من بروكلين, استحوذ على رابطة الملاكمة العالمية (رابطة الملاكمة العالمية) super welterweight World title in 2009, when he won a unanimous 12-round decision versus defending champion دانيال سانتوس (32-3-1).
“We sparred back when I was a kid when I trained at the Joe Grier Boxing Academy in Patterson, نيو جيرسي,” Williams explained. “Joe was the one who gave me my nickname, ‘Quiet Storm.’ Yuri is a true world champion. I basically have come from nowhere to share the ring with a world champion. What we’re doing is what boxing is all about. It’s not about age; انه 40 and I’m 34. Age doesn’t mean anything. I’m not a top dog, which is probably why they offered me the fight, but I’m a real fighter who will be in with a world champ. This is my world title fight! فاز, فقد, أو رسم, I’ll be fighting a world champion. I’m not scared of anybody. It’s not about money, it’s who I am, and I always step up to the challenge. This is going to be a great fight.”
وليامز (16-5-2, 5 كوس) is proud to be one of the rare football players who has succeeded in boxing. He was a standout cornerback at Southern Connecticut State University and invited to several NFL tryout camps. He came close to making the cut with the then-Oakland Raiders.
“I’ve always been a boxer at heart,قال ويليامز, “so football was easy for me. It was great getting calls from NFL scouts. I walked away from football for boxing. I’m a former Division 2 college football player fighting a world champion. I knew when it was time to leave football, but I’m not ready to leave boxing yet. I don’t need to box. I’m educated, work in the community, and I’m a father. I’m blessed to be boxing and I’ll know when it’s time to hang up my gloves.”
Williams didn’t box until after his mother, Belinda, was murdered in 2008 and her case remains unsolved. He lost his father to cancer.
“This fight for Jimmy is by far the biggest of his career,” Williams managerريان روتش (Fighter Locker) remarked. “It’s a must win to get him back on track. He knows what he has to do. He made a move to Veloz Boxing in Rhode Island and he’s a different fighter from what he was in his last two fights. Just being around ‘Boo Boo’ (بطولة العالمDemetrious Andrade) and those guys there has Jimmy where he needs to be for this fight.”
Williams has been promoted byجيمي بيرتشفيلد’s Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES) since he turned pro in 2013.
“We have a close relationship,” Burchfield commented. “I turned him pro, got him on national television a few times, and even attended his wedding. I’m very proud of him. He’s been tremendously loyal to CES as we have to him. This is a great opportunity. He didn’t hesitate a minute to take this fight. He has a new trainer, Brian Johnson, and Jimmy has been driving bad and forth from New Haven to Providence to train. I think he’s in the top shape of his life, because he knows the importance of this fight. He deserves to have this opportunity.
Something special about his fight tonight against Foreman for Williams, an African American, is fighting at this venue (Kentucky Center for African Americans) in the hometown of his hero,محمد علي.
“I’m paying homage to all people who’ve lived my dream,” Williams remarked. “It is what I represent. We’ve lost a lot of people in the last year. Fighting in Louisville is big for me because it’s the home of ‘The Greatest,’ Muhammad Ali. I look at Ali more for his character and what he stood for than his boxing. He stood for something and lost the prime of his career because of it. I try to be like him in terms of who I am. He gave me the confidence be who I want to be in life. I’ve read every book about him. I refuse to give up like Ali. I’m a throwback fighter.”

SAN JUAN, بويرتو ريكو (مايو 31, 2018) – Future Hall of Fame boxer ميغيل كوتو believes that, for him, promoting is even more challenging than fighting.
The living legend retired last December with an incredible 41-6 (33 كوس) سجل للمحترفين, in which he became the only Puerto Rican to capture world titles in four different weights classes, light welterweight through middleweight.
Cotto was 20-6 (16 كوس) في معارك لقب العالم, 16-6 (12 كوس) versus present or past world champions during his illustrious 17-year pro career, including victories against Cesar Bazan, Carlos Maussa,لوفمور ندو, راندال بيلي,DeMarcus كورلي, Ricardo Torres,بولي Malignaggi, Carlos Quintana,الزاب يهوذا, شين موسلي, جوشوا كلوتي, يوري فورمان, ريكاردو مايورغا, انطونيو مارجريتو, سيرجيو مارتينيز و دانيال Geale.
“We have been in the promoting business for more than 13 سنوات, combining both roles (fighter and promoter),” Cotto said. “الآن, we are able to give more attention to our fighters in terms of training.
“Promoting is more complex because there are challenges regarding every facet of an event. كمقاتل, you concentrate solely on the fight, not all the details involved in promoting a successful event.”
Cotto Promotions is presenting La Batalla: Acosta vs. Buitrago, along with H2 Entertainment, in association with DIRECTV Puerto Rico, يونيو 16عشر على الدفع لكل عرض, live from the Coliseo de Puerto Rico Center in Hato Rey, بويرتو ريكو.

World Boxing Organization Light Flyweight World Champion Tito Acosta 17-1, 17 كوس) will make his first title defense against four-time world title challenger كارلوس “Chocorroncito” Buitrago (30-3-1, 17 كوس), of Nicaragua, في الحدث الرئيسي 12 جولة.
“This pay-per-view card is a very important opportunity for is to showcase a great event,” Cotto added, “as well as a perfect scenario for Acosta to show the world who he is as world champion.
“It is a pleasure for me to give back to boxing what boxing gave me. Seeing our brand grow and fighter development let us know that we are doing things the right way. Our goal is to continue developing the best talent in Puerto Rico and building their brands and legacies.”
The 27-year-old Acosta is on a mission to become a Puerto Rican boxing icon like Cotto, Tito Trinidad, يلفريدو غوميز, هيكتور كاماتشو, ويلفريدو بينيتيز and so many other greats from this fertile island.
Acosta’s success brings back fond memories for Cotto to when he was in a similar situation as a young world champion. “He does bring back memories for me and he proves that hard work pays off,” Cotto concluded. “Tito is living the dream every boxer has when they choose to box as a living. Now is the most challenging chapter for him to expand his reign and build his legacy.”
