Danny Williams-Derek Chisora conference call quotes
By Terence Dooley
Danny Williams, 41-8 (31 early), takes on Derek Chisora, 12-0 (7), in a hastily arranged match on the undercard of Michael Katsidis versus Kevin Mitchell at Upton Park, London next Saturday night. Williams was due to have a dual title showdown with Commonwealth boss Sam Sexton only for Sexton to withdraw in order to be with his sick mother. Step forward Finchley’s ‘Del Boy’ Chisora, who was set to feature in an eight rounder but has now been boosted into the biggest fight of his career.
Williams’ career highlight was an in-ring lowlight; he was brutalised over eight one-sided rounds by Vitali Klitschko when challenging for the Ukrainian’s WBC heavyweight title back in 2004. Danny, however, can look back fondly on a British and Commonwealth title-winning career that was boosted by an away day upset win over Mike Tyson in July 2004.
