Heavyweight contender Danny Williams (36-4) has said that if rival Matt Skelton (19-1) plans to fight dirty in their rematch, he will return fire with his own batch of dirty tactics. Williams remembers the constant fouling by Skelton during their first meeting in February, where Williams handed Skelton the first loss of his career by way of a split-decision.
The two fighters meet this coming Saturday at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium in Wales. Unlike their first meeting, Williams predicts a knockout victory before six rounds.
"If Skelton does anything dirty again then I'll give it back - I'm not going to stand for it again. I can dish it out if he tries any of that business on Saturday. I'm ready for him and I can only see a Danny Williams stoppage. It's going to be really hard for Matt Skelton to get past the sixth round," said Williams to the UK's Daily Mirror.
In response, Skelton has said that Williams was just as dirty in the first meeting and hopes the referee help keep the fight clean.
"In the first fight, Williams kept turning his back on me so much that I thought he was leading me back to his changing room," Skelton said.
