Airing this Wednesday night on Showtime
BOSTON (Հոկտեմբեր 5, 2020) – “Հանգիստ փոթորիկ” planning a Perfect Storm!
Former Southern Connecticut State University football player Jimmy “Հանգիստ փոթորիկ” Williams is looking forward to shocking the boxing world this Wednesday night (Oct. 7), when he takes on undefeated, կապույտ-chip հեռանկարը Brandun Lee (19-0, 17 Նոկաուտով) վրա ShoBox: The New Generation, airing live on SHOWTIME from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Lee vs. 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. “Սա մեծ պայքարը ինձ համար, and the extra time was only a few weeks. I’ve stayed sharp.”
The 33-year-ol Williams (16-3-2, 5 Նոկաուտով), 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.
Նպաստել Jimիմի Բերչֆիլդ‘s Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES), Williams will be making his debut as a member of manager Ռայան Ռոչ‘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. Սակայն, 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,” Williams - ասել է. “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 Jimիմի Բերչֆիլդ, and my manager, Ռայան Ռոչ. 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.
