(L-Р) – Mykquan Williams & Пол Cichon


HARTFORD (Кастрычнік 27, 2021) – Unbeaten super lightweight prospect «Дзівосны» Mykquan Williams (16-0-1, 7 КО) has been on a long, strange trip in 2021, starting with his career-defining victory to date last January, на жаль, followed by a car accident resulting in a wrist injury, leading to the entrepreneurial launch of his “Marvelous” merchandise and products, and last Thursday he became a father for the first time.

“It’s been very frustrating,” Williams said about his injury. “This is what I do; Я баец. At times it has been hard, and I’ve been frustrated the entire time. I’m eager to fight again, but I need to be patient. When the time is right and I’m back 100-percent, I’ll be back in the ring, hopefully, early next year. Зараз, I have to build-up my wrist, strength-wise.”

Williams was in a car accident this past March 5й, in which he suffered a dislocated right wrist, popped into place that evening in the trauma unit. The next morning, Williams underwent surgery to insert four pins, which left him in a splint for 11 тыдняў, until the pins were removed May 15й. Therapy and exercises were all he could do, no boxing at all, until he returned to training, and he threw his first punch only three weeks ago.

When a boxer suffers a serious injury to his hands like Williams, it often leaves questions about his or her boxing future. No different for “Marvelous” Mykquan, as he admits.

“Personally,” Williams explained, “I worry about coming back close to where I was, but I keep faith and keep working. People have been very supportive. Sometimes I think about not being able to box again, but I try not to think about that, but that is positioned in my mind.”

“We’re in no rush,” Williams’ head trainer Paul Cichon noted. “We’re doing exactly what his doctors are saying. I believe he’ll be back stronger, and more focused than ever now that he has a son to consider. I think he’ll be back strong in 2022.”

Williams has taken advantage of his downtime to launch his “Marvelous Chili,” as well as a “Marvelous” clothing line and gear, and he’s also looking into purchasing property.

His is life was dramatically altered this past Thursday, when his girlfriend, Zuleyma, delivered his son, Attikus Williams, who weighed in at, as a ring announcer would say, a fit and ready 9-pounds.

As he prepares for his comeback, Williams and Cichon will promote an amateur show November 20й at a venue to be determined.
“We’re hosting the show to help kids at our gym, Manchester ROCS (у КТ),” the DiBella Entertainment promoted Williams remarked. “We want to do a couple a year.”

The 23-year-old Williams has already overcome the murder of his father when Mykquan was only one, in addition to having his family house burned to the ground 10 years later. A dislocated wrist has no chance of making him less than “Marvelous.”

Unbeaten Mykquan Williams staying in boxing shape as much as possible under pandemic conditions

Пакінуць каментар

МАНЧЕСТЕР, Канэктыкут. (Сакавіка 23, 2020) – Like most professional boxers, unbeaten super lightweight prospect«Дзівосны» Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 КО) is making the most out of a challenging situation, as he prepares for his unknown future in boxing.

The coronavirus has shutdown boxing worldwide. Events are suspended indefinitely, boxers restricted in terms of training, and the immediate future remains tenuous at best.

Unable to train at his gym, Manchester ROCS, which is closed due to a Connecticut state order, the 21-year-old Williams is handling this pandemic in a mature manner that belies his young age. No whining, no ‘poor me’ feelings.

”This is a difficult time for everybody, including those of us in boxing,” East Hartford (Канэктыкут) resident Williams said. “There’s no boxing on TV, nobody can compete, and everybody is isolated. It’s just unfortunate, but I’d rather be safe than sorry. Health concerns are and should always be the top priority.”

Williams hasn’t been in action since last October 24th, when he fought to a questionable eighth-round majority draw withTre’Sean Wiggins, in which Williams retained his World Boxing Council (WBC) ЗША (USNBC) super lightweight title. Most observers felt that Williams deserved a win by decision.

Since the beginning of 2020, Williams had been training for an expected fight in the first third of the year, and he’s still training to stay in shape, albeit it not the same way as if he had a confirmed fight date.

“I’m still doing some training,” Williams explained. “I need to stay in shape for when the call comes after boxing returns. I’m in decent shape and when I get my next fight date, I won’t have to go from zero to get ready. I want to maintain 50 для 60 percent shape and then finish off training on schedule for my next fight.”

“I know Mykey has still been running,” Williams’ head trainerПол Cichon added. “We’re going to be back training soon. I believe everything happens for a reason. Mykey and me had a conference call with (менеджэр) Джэкі Каллен і (прамоўтэр) Лу ДиБелла, and we trust that, as soon as possible, Mykey will be back in action.”

Because Williams doesn’t turn 22 until this April 6, in addition to already being a pro boxer for nearly four years, his young boxing career figures to resume quicker and stronger than for many older boxers. Losing six months shouldn’t hinder a prospect like Williams as much as a veteran who may not have nearly as much comparable quality competitive time left in the ring.

“I’m not sure if age is that big an advantage,” Williams countered. “If some fighters were getting burned out because they were fighting a lot, taking time off, whether it’s due to the virus or not, a break may help them come back better and stronger than when they last fought.”

Williams was a five-time national amateur champion, кампіляцыі 45-13 аматарскія запісы, highlighted by three Ringside World titles, in addition to gold medal performances at the National PAL and National Silver Gloves championship.

“I don’t know when boxing will return,” Williams concluded, “but boxing will never die. People will always want to see guys punching each other in the face. Boxing is a sport rich in tradition and, прама зараз, there is still a lot of talent coming up.”

And Mykquan Williams will be right at the head of that next wave when the boxing ban is finally lifted.

МАНЧЕСТЕР, Канэктыкут. (Лютага 12, 2020) - піянер жанчын уДжэкі Каллен, першы і, магчыма, найбольш паспяховыя жанчыны-менеджэр ў гісторыі бокса, цвёрда верыць непераможны 21-гадовы«Дзівосны» Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 КО) будзе развівацца ў яе шосты чэмпіён свету.

Уільямс, змагаюцца з Іст-Хартфард, Канэктыкут, якая пануе Сусветная баксёрская рада (WBC) Злучаныя Штаты Амерыка супер лёгкі вага.

«MYKEY мае шмат якасцяў, як некаторыя з вялікіх людзей у боксе,»Сказаў Каллен. «У яго ёсць некаторыя ўспышкі і хуткасці знішчальнікаў, як Рэй Леанард, і навучальныя навыкі і адданасць Томас Хернс і Майк Тайсан. У яго таксама ёсць забойца ўсмешка і добры знешні выгляд, як Эктар Камачо, Sr.

«MYKEY можа прайсці ўвесь шлях да сусветнага тытула. Ён мае хуткасць, стаўленне, і сэрца, нароўні з выключнымі здольнасцямі бокса. Ён быў дагледжаны выдатна яго трэнер, Пол Cichon, хто захаваў MYKEY верны свайму стылю, прыкладаем усе намаганні, каб удасканальваць сваё майстэрства. MYKEY цягніка цяжка, з'ядае права, і прымае гульню сур'ёзна «.

«Джэкі вельмі дасведчаны і дасведчаны ў боксе,»Адзначыў Уільямс. «Яна працавала з некаторымі вялікімі, сусветнага класа знішчальнікаў, так што яна ведае маршрут, каб узяць для мяне, каб атрымаць там «.

Cichon дадаў, «Я шукаў Джэкі ~ d, як наш менеджэр з-за сваю любоў да спорту, а таксама веды аб тым, што яна прыносіць да стала. Яна карыстаецца вялікай павагай, так як яна, безумоўна, заслугоўвае таго, каб быць «.

Бокс рэзка змяніўся з тых часоў Каллен закрыла першы бой для штодзённай газеты Detroit ў 1978. Карта прадэманстравала Хернс імікі Гудвін.  Яна імгненна стала фанатам і пісаў пра бокс на рэгулярнай аснове. Легендарны трэнер / менеджэр грунтуецца ў Дэтройце, Эмануэль Сцюард, наняў яе ў якасці публіцыста яго славутай Кронк Gym. Некаторыя з яе лепшых сяброў у гэты дзень байцы, якія яна працавала з тады. Яна і Hearns ўсё яшчэ збіраюцца разам.

Пасля службы ў якасці публіцыста Кронка на працягу дзесяці гадоў, Каллен вырашыла пашырыцца, і яна пачала кіраўнікі баец. Яе першы кліент быў цяжкавагавікBobby словы, які сёння з'яўляецца паспяховым прамоўтэрам і рэстаратар ў Чыкага. Яна працягвала кіраваць групай Хто ёсць хто барацьбіты, у тым ліку чэмпіёны светуДжэймс Тоні, Bronco McKart, Том «Boom Boom» Джонсан, Пинклон Томас іНонито Донэр.

Каллен, які перамог сексізм ў індустрыі бокса, з'яўляецца самым вядомым, магчыма, для яе працоўныя адносіны з Тоні, у значнай ступені таму, што яе жыццё ў той перыяд была натхненнем для папулярнага 2004 фільм, супраць Вяроўкі, у галоўнай роліМег Райан у Каллен.

«Бокс сёння гэта зусім іншае жывёла,»Патлумачыла яна. «Гэта не азначае, што лепш ці горш, проста розныя. Там раней было больш спартыўных залаў у кожным горадзе, праграмы цяжкія аматарскія, шмат паказаў на тэлевізійных сетках, і досыць мясцовы клуб шоу трымаць малады баец актыўна. Я, хлопцы, тады хто біўся 8 для 10 раз у год, які, вядома, практычна немагчыма 2020.

«Там не было столькі інфармацыі, якая маецца на суперніках небудзь. Калі вам пашанцавала, Вы можаце купіць стужку. Калі баец не быў на тэлебачанні, хоць, Вы не пашанцавала. Там не было інтэрнэту, так што не было нічога падобнага Boxrec праверыць запісу апанентаў. Вы проста павінны былі верыць свацця. Я байцы чакаў змагацца 14-4 хлопец, які даведаўся на узважванні, што ён быў на самай справе 16-0 «.

Бокс, хутчэй за ўсё, другая найстаражытная прафесія, працягвае выжываць, хоць часта на паездку амерыканскіх горак.

«Сённяшнія байцы не так хутка, каб змагацца адзін з адным, як яны былі ў дні Hearns / Hagler / Leonard / Дзюран,»Адзначыў Каллен. "Тады, байцы хацелі сапраўды змагацца, каб быць у лепшым выпадку яны маглі б быць. Я бачу байцоў сёння з'яўляецца больш аналітычным і прымаючы менш шанцаў.

«Там таксама больш санкцыянаванне арганізацыі сёння. Тады гэта было самы большы WBA, WBC і IBF. Не кажучы ўжо ніколі не было адзін чалавек, якому ўдалося дзесяткі і дзесяткі баксёраў у той жа час. Гульня вызначана змянілася!"

Каллен, хоць па-ранейшаму актыўна ўкладвацца ў спорце яна любіць. Упэўнены Уільямс будзе яе наступным чэмпіёнам свету, яе мара быць уведзены ў Залу славы з Тоні.

«У 1992 годзе,” Каллен заключыў, «Я быў названы" Менеджэр года ", і мая любоў да спорту ніколі не аслабла. Пакуль ёсць талент там маючы патрэбу кіраўніцтва, Я буду заставацца актыўным «.

Unbeaten Mykquan Williams learned invaluable lesson for future

МАНЧЕСТЕР, Канэктыкут. (Лістапада 4, 2019) – The true test for a genuine boxing prospect is how he or she responds to adversity, whether it included a loss, cut, knockdown or, in the case of “Цудоўны” Mykquan Williams, a disputed decision that tarnished his perfect pro record.

The 21-year-old Williams, зараз 15-0-1 (7 КО), was recently on the short end of a highly disputed eight-round draw with Tre’Sean Wiggins (11-4-3, 6 КО), у “Брадвей бокса” main event held at Generoso Pope Athletic Complex on the campus of St. Francis College in Brooklyn.

Nobody claimed the questionable decision was highway robbery, яшчэ, most non-partisan fans at the show, or those watching live on UFC FIGHT PASS®, felt Williams rightfully deserved to have his arms raised in victory. Despite having a blemish placed on his pro record, he didn’t suffer a loss, and did retain his World Boxing Council (WBC) United States super lightweight title.

Уільямс’ opponent was a southpaw with a five-inch height advantage. Once he felt Williams’ магутнасць, especially in the liver, Wiggins went into survival mode, clutching and grabbing every time Williams got close.

Neither Williams nor his head trainer, Пол Cichon, was pleased when the judges’ scores were announced – 77-75 in favor of Williams, 76-76 двойчы – for a majority draw. Never-the-less, both feel that this developmental lesson will pay dividends down the road.

“The plan was for me to work inside,” Williams said after the fight. “The first and second were feeling out rounds and then I’d adjust. I didn’t feel from the start that he could hurt me. I wanted to get inside and beat him with body punches. I did that but I think I played to the crowd a little too much. I’d change that if I could go back. And I would have let my hands go more, but I won this fight because I landed the harder, cleaner more effective shots throughout the fight. He just wanted to hold.

“I’m disappointed because I was defending my title, but I didn’t lose the fight and I still have my belt. I ll have a lot to learn and I’ll be back in the gym soon to fix errors I made so that I won’t have those issues my next fight.”

Cichon felt that Williams won five if not six rounds because he was the aggressor throughout the match. “Я здзіўлены,” ён прызнаўся,. “Mykye was the champion and I thought that he (Уиггинс) would have needed to win convincingly to win rounds. He didn’t. Mykye started using his double jab to get inside and then he killed his opponent’s body. The body shots brought Wiggins’ hands down. Mykye stalked and hurt him a few times.

“Mykye learned a valuable lesson like not letting the crowd get to him, and never letting up on the gas.Wiggins was smart. Every time Mykye got close to him, he grabbed him, especially after he felt Mykye’s powerful body shots. It may have been ugly, but he fought smart.”

Team Williams agrees that there’s no sense rushing Williams, пасля ўсяго, ён толькі 21, but that 2020 should be an active, career-changing year for the East Hartford (Канэктыкут) fighter.

“I’m ready to fight at the next level,” Williams concluded. “Time will tell. Styles make fights but I hurt him (Уиггинс) several times.”

“We’ll jump back in the ring in early 2020,” Cichon дадаў. “We’re looking to fight opponents with winning records, but not another six-foot southpaw.”

“I was very proud of Mykey,” Уільямс’ менеджэр Джэкі Каллен пракаментаваў. It was a learning experience that will make him an even greater fighter. He is still undefeated and one of the top young prospects in the 140-pound division. The next year will be a pivotal one for him.”
