নিউ ইয়র্ক (মার্চ 15, 2016) – Former two-time world champion পল উইলিয়ামস, মে মাসে মোটরসাইকেলের দুর্ঘটনার পরে যখন তিনি কোমর থেকে পক্ষাঘাতগ্রস্থ হয়েছিলেন তখন তাঁর পেশাটি হঠাৎ এবং করুণ পরিণতিতে এসেছিল came 2012, is back in boxing as a trainer.
The popular Williams will work the corner of once-beaten জাস্টিন DeLoach (13-1, 7 কস) when DeLoach faces undefeated super welterweight and local favorite ডিলন কুক (16-0, 6 কস) in the opening eight-round bout of what is now a ShoBox: নতুন প্রজন্ম quadrupleheader উপর শুক্রবার, মার্চ 25, বাসশোটাইম (10:30 বিকাল. এবং/পিটি, পশ্চিম উপকূলের বিলম্বিত) থেকে বাফেলো চালান ক্যাসিনো মধ্যে মিয়ামি, OKLA.
DeLoach is the first boxer to be trained by Williams, the former 154-pound southpaw who has been confined to a wheelchair since the accident.
“I guess I was being selfish at first,” Williams said. “I didn’t want to deal with the fight game. I wanted to be the one fighting. But that changed.”
Williams was reluctant to train fighters for a long time. এটা ছিলGeorge Peterson, who managed and trained Williams from the time the boxer was a skinny kid with little amateur experience until his career ended, that helped persuade “The Punisher” to return to the ring. Williams trains his pupil at a private gym in his hometown of Aiken, S.C.
“You know me, I really didn’t want to do this,’’ Williams said. “But finally after three or four years of George practically begging me to try and do it, this opportunity came along and I decided to give it a shot.
“Everything is about timing. I started thinking about it, George kept asking me and messing with me about it, one thing led to another, and I finally said I’d take a stab at it.
উইলিয়ামস, who is enjoying his new job description, admits there are some pre-fight jitters.
“I’m scared all over again, like this is my first fight. এখন, I have to think about everything that Mr. Pete was thinking about when I was fighting. I have to try and teach Justin what I knew how to do.
“George and I accomplished a lot. He made me a world champion; before that, no one knew who he or I was. We were just a couple of guys from Aiken, S.C. We gave fans fights to remember.
“I was the fighter the press labeled as ‘Most feared in boxing.’ But that’s over for me now. I’m jumping into a whole new thing. It’s been an adjustment but I’m glad I’m doing it.’’
In his role as a trainer, Williams’ mindset has changed drastically from his fighting days. “Look, I always feel good,'' তিনি বলেন,. “What’s happened has happened. এটা কি হয়. This is my first time stepping back into the world. আমি বক্সিং প্রেম.
“What I don’t want to see is a fighter getting hurt. This is a hard sport. I know when I was in there I was always going for broke. But I want Justin, all fighters actually, to come out of the ring the same way they came in. বা জিত, I don’t want to see anybody get hurt.’’
On DeLoach, উইলিয়ামস বলেন, “He’s a good fighter and now he’s in the spotlight. I want to do my best in the training world to get him at his peak. I hope he does his best. I’d love to one-up George with Justin.’’
Becoming the best takes strenuous work on a daily basis, and Williams was no stranger to putting in the hours.
“I never took a shortcut,'' তিনি বলেন,. “You take shortcuts, you know what’ll happen. I took the long road home when I was fighting and fans, যোদ্ধাদের, everybody knew what to expect when I stepped in the ring.
“Justin isn’t like this, but one thing I know is that fighters think they’re slick. ভাল, you can’t pull anything over me. আমি সেখানে ছিলাম, seen it all.’’
এবং, হিসাবে সবসময়, he’ll have George Peterson by his side.
“I’m just helping Paul,’’ said Peterson, who will serve as Williams’ assistant trainer. “So far, he’s doing great.”
It will be the ShoBox এবং 2016 আত্মপ্রকাশ — and toughest fight to date — for both DeLoach and Cook.
DeLoach was a top amateur, competing in the USA Boxing National Championships in 2012. He won a National Silver Golden Gloves title when he was 13.
The 22-year-old DeLoach, আগস্টা, গা।, has won three in a row since suffering his lone loss to Cesar Villa ফেব্রুয়ারি. 6, 2015. That was before he started training with Williams.
“This has been a total blessing, and I say that every day,” DeLoach said. “Thank God. He’s the one who brought the two of us together, that’s the main thing. Paul loves it, just to be back. I think he was scared at first, his reputation was at stake and so was mine.
“But he’s been so helpful – just in the mental side of things. I was already a good boxer but he’s taken me to another level mentally. He’s been pushing me, criticizing me, giving me instructions and picking my brain.”
DeLoach and Williams grew up just 30 minutes down the road from each other.
“Me and Paul, we’ve known each other our whole lives,’’ DeLoach said. “I’m from Augusta, গা।, and he was right across in Aiken. We knew each other when I was coming up as an amateur. He came to my last pro fight that was in San Antonio. When I saw him, I got so excited. We started to talk and I said something like, 'আরে, পল, wouldn’t it be cool if we got together?'
“Once I came home, we started working together and he’s been training me since. I think we’re going on about three months now. It’s an unbelievable feeling to be able to work with one of my favorite fighters.”
তার শেষ ভ্রমণ মধ্যে, DeLoach won a shutout four-round decision overSantos Benavides গত ডিসেম্বর. 12. DeLoach, a pro since March 2013, fought six times that year and four times each in 2014 এবং 2015.
“I’m really looking forward to fighting for the first time for him,” DeLoach said. “I’ve gone crazy waiting for my break and an opportunity like this to fight on SHOWTIME. I know it’s not easy fighting in your opponent’s backyard, but with Paul, George Peterson and me and my skills, we are confident it will be a good fight.’’
রান্না করা, 25, is from Seneca, Mo.,, which is located about 20 minutes from Buffalo Run Casino where he has fought six times.
