ХАРТФОРД (Октомври 27, 2021) – Unbeaten super lightweight prospect „Чудесен“ Микуан Уилямс (16-0-1, 7 Нокаута) has been on a long, strange trip in 2021, starting with his career-defining victory to date last January, за съжаление, 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. "Това е, което правя; Аз съм боец. 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, да се надяваме, early next year. Сега, I have to build-up my wrist, strength-wise.”

Williams was in a car accident this past March 5тата, 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 седмици, until the pins were removed May 15тата. 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 20тата at a venue to be determined.
“We’re hosting the show to help kids at our gym, Manchester ROCS (в CT),” 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

Оставете коментар

МАНЧЕСТЪР, Кон. (Март 23, 2020) – Like most professional boxers, unbeaten super lightweight prospect„Чудесен“ Микуан Уилямс (15-0-1, 7 Нокаута) 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 (CT) 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 withТре’Шон Уигинс, in which Williams retained his World Boxing Council (WBC) САЩ (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 към 60 percent shape and then finish off training on schedule for my next fight.”

“I know Mykey has still been running,” Williams’ head trainerПол Чишон added. “We’re going to be back training soon. I believe everything happens for a reason. Mykey and me had a conference call with (мениджър) Джаки Kallen и (промотор) Lou DiBella, 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, съставяне на 45-13 любителски запис, 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, в момента, 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.

Известният мениджър Джаки Кален прогнозира непобедения Микуан Уилямс да бъде шестият й световен шампион

Оставете коментар

МАНЧЕСТЪР, Кон. (Февруари 12, 2020) - Пионер на женитеДжаки Kallen, първата и може би най-успешната жена мениджър в историята на бокса, силно вярва на непобедения 21-годишен„Чудесен“ Микуан Уилямс (15-0-1, 7 Нокаута) ще се превърне в шестия й световен шампион.

Williams, боеве от Източен Хартфорд, CT, е управляващият Световен съвет по бокс (WBC) САЩ супер лек шампион.

„Майки има много качества като някои от големите в бокса,- каза Кален. „Той има част от светкавицата и скоростта на бойците като Ray Leonard, и тренировъчните навици и отдаденост на Thomas Hearns и Майк Тайсън. Той също има убийствена усмивка и изглежда добре Хектор Камачо, Sr.

„Mykey може да стигне чак до световна титла. Той има скоростта, поведение, и сърце, заедно с изключителни боксови способности. Той е поддържан перфектно от своя треньор, Пол Чишон, който е запазил Mykey верен на своя стил, работи усилено, за да усъвършенства уменията си. Mykey тренира усилено, яде правилно, и приема играта сериозно. "

„Джаки е много опитен и знаещ в бокса,- отбеляза Уилямс. „Тя е работила с някои страхотни, бойци от световна класа, така че тя знае маршрута, по който да отида, за да стигна дотам. "

Добави Cichon, „Потърсих Джаки като наш мениджър заради любовта й към спорта, както и знанията за това, което тя носи на масата. Тя е много уважавана, както тя със сигурност заслужава да бъде. "

Боксът се е променил драстично, откакто Кален отразява първата си битка за ежедневник в Детройт през 1978 г. Картата показва Хърнс иМики Гудуин.  Тя незабавно стана фен и редовно пише за бокса. Легендарен треньор / мениджър със седалище в Детройт, Емануел Стюард, я наел като публицист за прочутия си Kronk Gym. Някои от най-добрите й приятели и до днес са бойци, с които е работила тогава. Тя и Хърнс все още се събират.

След като служи като публицист на Kronk в продължение на десетилетие, Кален реши да се разклони и тя започна да управлява бойци. Първият й клиент беше в тежка категорияБоби Хиц, който днес е успешен организатор и ресторантьор в Чикаго. Тя продължи да ръководи група бойци Who’s Who, включително световни шампиониJames Toney, Бронко Маккарт, Том „Бум Бум“ Джонсън, Pinklon thomas иNonito Donaire.

Кален, които преодоляха сексизма в боксовата индустрия, е най-известен, може би, за работните й отношения с Тони, до голяма степен защото животът й през този период е вдъхновение за популярните 2004 филм, Срещу въжетата, В ролитеМег Райън като Кален.

„Боксът днес е съвсем различно животно,- обясни тя. „Това не означава, че е по-добро или по-лошо, просто различно. По-рано във всеки град имаше повече фитнес зали, тежки аматьорски програми, много предавания по телевизионните мрежи, и достатъчно местни клубни шоу програми, за да поддържа млад боец ​​активен. Тогава имах момчета, които се биеха 8 към 10 пъти в годината, който, разбира се, е почти невъзможно в 2020.

„Нямаше толкова много информация и за опонентите. Ако имаше късмет, можете да си купите лента. Ако боецът не беше по телевизията, въпреки че, нямахте късмет. Нямаше интернет, така че нямаше нищо като BoxRec за проверка на записите на противниците. Просто трябваше да повярваш на свата. Имах бойци, които очакваха да се бият с 14-4 човек, който разбра на претеглянето, че всъщност е 16-0. "

Бокс, вероятно втората най-стара професия, продължава да оцелява, макар и често на влакче с влакче в увеселителен парк.

„Днешните бойци не са толкова бързи да се бият помежду си, както бяха по времето на Хърнс / Хаглер / Леонард / Дюран,- отбеляза Кален. "Тогава, бойците искаха наистина да се борят, за да бъдат най-добрите, които могат да бъдат. Виждам днес бойците да са по-аналитични и да рискуват по-малко.

„Днес има и повече санкциониращи организации. Тогава това беше най-много WBA, WBC и IBF. Да не говорим, че никога не е имало човек, който да управлява десетки и десетки боксьори едновременно. Играта определено се е променила!"

Кален, въпреки че все още е много инвестирана в спорта, който обича. Уверен Уилямс ще бъде следващият й световен шампион, мечтата й е да бъде въведена в Залата на славата с Тони.

„През 1992 г.” Заключи Кален, „Бях обявен за„ Мениджър на годината “и любовта ми към спорта никога не е отслабвала. Стига да има талант, който се нуждае от напътствия, Ще остана активен. ”

Unbeaten Mykquan Williams learned invaluable lesson for future

МАНЧЕСТЪР, Кон. (Ноември 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 “Чудесен” Mykquan Williams, a disputed decision that tarnished his perfect pro record.

The 21-year-old Williams, сега 15-0-1 (7 Нокаута), was recently on the short end of a highly disputed eight-round draw with Тре’Шон Уигинс (11-4-3, 6 Нокаута), в “Broadway Boxing” 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, още, 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.

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

Neither Williams nor his head trainer, Пол Чишон, was pleased when the judges’ scores were announced – 77-75 in favor of Williams, 76-76 два пъти – 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. “Бях изненадан,” той призна,. “Mykye was the champion and I thought that he (Уигинс) 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, след всичко, той е само 21, but that 2020 should be an active, career-changing year for the East Hartford (CT) боец.

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

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

“I was very proud of Mykey,” Williams’ мениджър Джаки Kallen коментира. 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.”

МАНЧЕСТЪР, Кон.

“Everything went very well,” a happy Williams said. “All the kids got a backpack and had a good time. My team made it possible for me to do it. Shout out to DiBella Entertainment, Wet Paint and Capital Bail Bonds. I did this event to give back to the community but, по-важно, help parents who may have a little bit of difficulty getting everything their kids need for school.”

Уилямс е на тогавашния World Boxing съвет (WBC) САЩ супер лек шампион, който е класиран Не. 5 от САЩ асоциация Бокс (USBA), и Не. 12 от Северна Америка федерация по бокс (NABF).
