The two winners of the opening round, Dion Jones (7-0, 6 Kos) болонElijah Williams (9-1, 3 Kos) face off in an eight-round junior welterweight fight. Both fighters edged out decision wins in September onBOXFEST X.

“It feels good to be back with Red Owl Boxing, fighting on DAZN as the co-main event,"Уильямс гэж хэлсэн. “This is a big deal for me and a big deal for my city. I am from Newburgh, Нью-Йорк, the bottom of the bottom. All I know is pain and I’m going to show the world better than I can tell them this Friday.”

The fight will mark the first eight-round bout for the 21-year-old prospect who turned pro in 2021 and Jones will be the second undefeated fighter Williams has faced in his young career. Despite the step up in competition, the New York native is confident he is built for the moment.

“I never ever sleep on any opponent and I won’t start now. I look at everyone like they are ‘him’ so that I am mentally strong and prepared,"Уильямс гэж хэлсэн. “With that being said, I am going to keep it real – Dion Jones is not on my level. My blood, sweat and tears have been spilled in the sport of boxing for moments like this. I am going to take him to deep waters, places he has never been before and see how he functions when the tide gets rough.”

Williams began boxing at a young age and was ranked as high as third in USA Boxing’s Junior Division as an amateur. Younger than Jones by five years, “The Bully” enters the Shadow FightGoods 140-pound tournament final with advantages in amateur experience and height.

“Dion Jones has never been in the ring with someone like me,” noted Williams. “I promise you, I don’t see it going past the sixth round and that is being generous. Stay tuned to this one on Friday night. The whole world will see who ‘The Bully’ is!"
