On November 20, welterweight junior middleweight and middleweight contender, Paul Williams, will rematch WBC middleweight king Sergio Martinez in an HBO televised bout from the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. The venue was the site of their first meeting last December, which saw both fighters dropped in the first round, and ending with Williams earning a disputed decision.
When they met the first time, Martinez replaced a withdrawing Kelly Pavlik. Williams has claimed that he didn't have enough time to properly train for Martinez, but this time things will be different because he had a proper training camp.
"The title is just something that I have to take from him now. You know, I've already beaten him once, so, it will be easier beating him again, now," Williams said. "He's going to have to fight me, you know what I'm saying? Because I'm going to stay on him, you know, so he's going to have to fight."
A few weeks ago, Williams took a verbal jab at Floyd Mayweather Jr. Williams said Mayweather would not fight him because "he didn't have a vagina" - an obvious reference to Mayweather's domestic violence and legal troubles. Looking back, Williams regrets making the comment.
"Yeah, I kind of regret saying that, you know. It was the heat of the moment, and everybody was asking me stuff. No more comment on that. Just like everybody else, he's a professional, you know. His personal life is his personal life. But I would love to fight him," Williams said.
"Anything can happen to anybody in their personal life. You could get in trouble being with your friends or something. Something could come off, and, you know, there's no telling."
