Jimmy Williams finally gets his “world title fight”
BOSTON (Ožujak 2, 2021) – New Haven (CT) super welterweight boxer Jimmy “Quiet Storm” Williams will finally get what he calls “his world title fight” tonight against former world champion Jurij Foreman 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.
Foreman (35-3, 10 Kos), boreći se iz Brooklyna, captured the World Boxing Association (WBA) super welterweight World title in 2009, when he won a unanimous 12-round decision versus defending champion Daniel Santos (32-3-1).
“We sparred back when I was a kid when I trained at the Joe Grier Boxing Academy in Patterson, New Jersey,” 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; on je 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! Pobjeda, izgubiti, ili crtanje, 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.”
Williams (16-5-2, 5 Kos) 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,“, rekao je Williams, “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 managerRyan Roach (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’ (svjetski prvakDemetrious 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 (HZZ) 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, Portoriko (Svibanj 31, 2018) – Boksač Kuće budućih Miguel Cotto vjeruje da, za njega, promicanje je još izazovnije od borbe.
Živa legenda umirovljena je prošlog prosinca s nevjerojatnim 41-6 (33 Kos) pro zapis, u kojem je postao jedini Portorikanac koji je osvojio svjetske naslove u četiri različite težinske klase, lagana poluteška kroz srednju.
Cotto je bio 20-6 (16 Kos) u poretku Svjetskog borbama, 16-6 (12 Kos) naspram sadašnjih ili prošlih svjetskih prvaka tijekom njegove slavne 17-godišnje profesionalne karijere, uključujući pobjede protiv Cesar Bazan, Carlos Maussa,Lovemore N’dou, Randall Bailey,DeMarcus Corley, Ricardo Torres,Paulie Malignaggi, Carlos Quintana,Zab Juda, Shane Mosley, Joshua Clottey, Jurij Foreman, Ricardo Mayorga, Antonio Margarito, Sergio Martinez a Daniel Geale.
“Bavimo se promotivnim poslom više od 13 godina, kombinirajući obje uloge (borac i promotor),” Rekao je Cotto. “Sada, u mogućnosti smo posvetiti više pažnje našim borcima u smislu obuke.
“Promoviranje je složenije jer postoje izazovi u vezi sa svim aspektima događaja. Kao borac, koncentrirate se isključivo na borbu, nisu svi detalji uključeni u promociju uspješnog događaja.”
Predstavlja Cotto Promotions Bitka: Acosta vs.. Buitrago, zajedno s H2 Entertainment, u suradnji s DIRECTV Portorikom, Lipanj 16th na pay-per-view, uživo iz Centra Coliseo de Portoriko u Hato Reyu, Portoriko.

“Ova kartica s plaćanjem po prikazu vrlo je važna prilika za predstavljanje velikog događaja,” Dodao je Cotto, “kao i savršen scenarij da Acosta svijetu pokaže tko je svjetski prvak.
“Zadovoljstvo mi je vratiti boksu ono što mi je boks dao. Vidjevši da naša marka raste i razvija se borac, dajte nam do znanja da radimo stvari na pravi način. Cilj nam je nastaviti razvijati najbolje talente u Portoriku i graditi njihove marke i ostavštine.”
27-godišnji Acosta u misiji je postati portorikanska boksačka ikona poput Cotta, Tito Trinidad, Wilfredo Gomez, Hector Camacho, Wilfredo Benitez i toliko drugih velikana s ovog plodnog otoka.
Acostain uspjeh Cottu vraća lijepe uspomene kada je bio u sličnoj situaciji kao mladi svjetski prvak. “Vraća mi uspomene i dokazuje da se naporan rad isplati,” Zaključio je Cotto. “Tito živi san kojeg svaki boksač sanja kad odluči boksati kao život. Sad je za njega najizazovnije poglavlje da proširi svoju vladavinu i izgradi svoje naslijeđe.”
