Airing this Wednesday night on Showtime
BOSTON (Октомври 5, 2020) – “Тиха буря” planning a Perfect Storm!
Former Southern Connecticut State University football player Jimmy “Тиха буря” Williams is looking forward to shocking the boxing world this Wednesday night (Октомври. 7), when he takes on undefeated, сините чипове перспектива Brandun Lee (19-0, 17 Нокаута) на ShoBox: Новото поколение, airing live on SHOWTIME от Mohegan Sun Arena в Uncasville, Connecticut.
Lee срещу. Williams was originally scheduled for September 19, but it was pushed back until Oct. 7, and will be contested at a 145-pound catchweight. “It’s been a plus to have more time to prepare,” Williams spoke about the change of date. “Това е голяма борба за мен, and the extra time was only a few weeks. I’ve stayed sharp.”
The 33-year-ol Williams (16-3-2, 5 Нокаута), fighting out of West Haven, Connecticut, was a cornerback in college who, as an undrafted player, was invited to NFL tryouts as a free agent by the Raiders, Chiefs, Colts and Falcons.
Насърчавани от Джими Бърчфийлд‘s Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES), Williams will be making his debut as a member of manager Райън Роуч‘s growing Fighter Locker stable.
“I think this is a great opportunity for Jimmy, Roach added. This is a big fight for us and a must win. Jimmy is up for the challenge. We’ve been waiting for this call. He has been working hard every day with his trainer, Dave Forsyth.
“This is our first fight together as a team and I am really looking forward to it. I know Brandun is special, but he hasn’t seen anything like Jimmy before, and he will stop this kid in the later rounds.”
Williams is a decisive underdog versus Lee, a rising star whose goal is to become the first world champion of Korean dissent. The 21-year-old Californian was a highly decorated American amateur: 3-time U.S. National Silver Gloves, 2013 PAL National and 2015 U.S. National Juniors champion. Обаче, he’s never fought past four rounds and Williams will attempt to extend the gifted Lee, taking him into deep water in hopes of making him gas.
“I’m honored to fight on Showtime,” Уилямс каза. “I never thought I’d have this opportunity in my career. My whole life I’ve been the underdog. I love the challenge and that’s what made me who I am today. I overcome things.
“I thank God and my promoter, CES and Джими Бърчфийлд, and my manager, Райън Роуч. I’m truly blessed. This is going to be a great fight and I will give Lee his first loss.”
Williams will be fighting for the memory of his mother, Belinda Jordan Williams, who was strangled to death in 2008, and the case remains open.
