British heavyweight Danny Williams has told the BBC Sport that he would like a rematch with the returning Mike Tyson. Williams feels that a rematch with Tyson can once again shoot his career in the spotlight. Williams was a household name after a shocking 4 round KO win over Mike Tyson in 2004. The win even got Williams a shot at heavyweight gold when he stepped in the ring with Vitali Klitschko last December. Klitschko crushed the dreams of Williams by unleashing a round by round beating with several knockdowns, the referee eventually stopped the fight in the 8th round.
"I've put out a challenge on my website and on US magazines and hopefully he'll take it up," said Williams
Williams also said that talks have taken place to stage a fight against the younger Klitschko, Wladimir. Apparently, Wladimir Klitschko has interest in facing Danny Williams. While Williams does have power, he is very easy to hit and the younger Klitschko brings his own brand of power to the table.
While Williams is hoping a bout can be made with either Klitschko or Tyson, he admits that he will most likely end up fighting fellow European fighter Matt Skelton. While Williams knows Skelton is a step backwards, he has to keep winning fights in order to grab a top spot in the heavyweight pecking order.
"We have to discuss money , but me and Matt may get it on in the summer time. But I'm only going to fight Skelton if the two other fights don't come off - he's a last resort. Skelton would be a backwards step, especially after fighting the number one in the world (Vitali Klitschko)"
