Jimmy Williams bekommt endlich seinen "Weltmeistertitelkampf"
BOSTON (März 2, 2021) - Neuer Hafen (CT) Super Weltergewicht Boxer Jimmy "Quiet Storm" Williams wird heute Abend endlich das bekommen, was er "seinen Weltmeistertitelkampf" gegen den ehemaligen Weltmeister nennt Yuri Foreman in einem 8-Runden-Kampf um die vakante Super-Weltergewicht-Meisterschaft der American Boxing Federation USA, im Kentucky Center für Afroamerikaner in Louisville, Kentucky.
Vorarbeiter (35-3, 10 KOs), Bekämpfung von Brooklyn, eroberte die World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Weltergewicht Weltmeistertitel in 2009, als er eine einstimmige 12-Runden-Entscheidung gegen den Titelverteidiger gewann Daniel Santos (32-3-1).
„Als ich ein Kind war, haben wir uns an der Joe Grier Boxing Academy in Patterson ausgebildet, New Jersey,Erklärte Williams. „Joe war derjenige, der mir meinen Spitznamen gegeben hat, "Quiet Storm". Yuri ist ein wahrer Weltmeister. Ich bin im Grunde genommen aus dem Nichts gekommen, um den Ring mit einem Weltmeister zu teilen. Was wir tun, ist, worum es beim Boxen geht. Es geht nicht um das Alter; er ist 40 und ich bin 34. Alter bedeutet nichts. Ich bin kein Platzhirsch, Das ist wahrscheinlich der Grund, warum sie mir den Kampf angeboten haben, Aber ich bin ein echter Kämpfer, der mit einem Weltmeister zusammen sein wird. Dies ist mein Weltmeistertitelkampf! Sieg, verlieren, oder Unentschieden, Ich werde gegen einen Weltmeister kämpfen. Ich habe vor niemandem Angst. Es geht nicht um Geld, Ich bin es, und ich stelle mich immer der Herausforderung. Das wird ein großartiger Kampf. “
Williams (16-5-2, 5 KOs) ist stolz darauf, einer der seltenen Fußballspieler zu sein, denen das Boxen gelungen ist. Er war ein herausragender Cornerback an der Southern Connecticut State University und wurde zu mehreren NFL-Testcamps eingeladen. Er war kurz davor, mit den damaligen Oakland Raiders den Schnitt zu machen.
"Ich war schon immer ein Boxer im Herzen,Sagte Williams, „Fußball war für mich also einfach. Es war großartig, Anrufe von NFL-Scouts zu bekommen. Ich ging vom Fußball weg, um zu boxen. Ich bin eine ehemalige Abteilung 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 managerRyan Roach (Kämpfer-Schließfach) 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’ (WeltmeisterDemetrious Andrade) and those guys there has Jimmy where he needs to be for this fight.”
Williams has been promoted byJimmy Burchfield’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,Muhammad Ali.
“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, Puerto Rico (Mai 31, 2018) – Future Hall of Fame boxer Miguel Cotto believes that, for him, promoting is even more challenging than fighting.
The living legend retired last December with an incredible 41-6 (33 KOs) pro Datensatz, 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 KOs) in WM-Titel kämpft, 16-6 (12 KOs) versus present or past world champions during his illustrious 17-year pro career, including victories against Cesar Bazan, Carlos Maussa,Lovemore N'dou, Randall Bailey,DeMarcus Corley, Ricardo Torres,Paulie Malignaggi, Carlos Quintana,Zab Judah, Shane Mosley, Joshua Clottey, Yuri Foreman, Ricardo Mayorga, Antonio Margarito, Sergio Martinez und Daniel Geale.
“We have been in the promoting business for more than 13 Jahre, combining both roles (fighter and promoter),” Cotto said. “Jetzt, 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. Als Kämpfer, 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, Juni 16th im Pay-per-View-, live from the Coliseo de Puerto Rico Center in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico.
Integrierte Sports Media wird die Verteilung La Batalla: Acosta vs. Buitrago card in the United States on cable, Satellit und digitale Pay-per-View über die Nachfrage, Vubiquity, DIRECTV, DISH and live-streamed worldwide (excluding Puerto Rico) am FITE.TV App und Website (www.fite.tv), ab 9 p.m. UND / 6 p.m. PT, für einen empfohlenen Verkaufspreis von nur $34.95.
World Boxing Organization Light Flyweight World Champion Tito Acosta 17-1, 17 KOs) will make his first title defense against four-time world title challenger Carlos “Chocorroncito” Buitrago (30-3-1, 17 KOs), of Nicaragua, im 12-Runden-Hauptevent.
“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, Wilfredo Gomez, Hector Camacho, Wilfredo Benitez 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.”
Additional June 16th PPV fights will soon be announced. Alle Kämpfe und Kämpfer sind Änderungen vorbehalten.
