Smith-Radosevic Results: Liam Williams Wins, Will Return To Cardiff

By Elliot Foster

Liam Williams set up a Cardiff showdown in a defence of his British super-welterweight title.

The Clydach Vale man, 24, is also the Commonwealth king but he made easy work of his latest outing, exclusively live on BoxNation.

Williams, who is now 14-0-1 (9 KOs), stopped Gustavo Sanchez –– who slips to 12-13-1 (4 KOs) –– inside three rounds at the ECHO Arena in Liverpool, as part of the undercard to Liam Smith’s WBO super-welterweight title defence against Predrag Radosevic.

He will come up against Gary Corcoran, the WBO Inter-Continental champion at the weight, in the first defence of the Lonsdale belt he won against Kris Carslaw back in December in Manchester, on July 16 in Cardiff.

The venue for the showdown has yet to be confirmed, but promoter Frank Warren’s office are expected to make a formal announcement about the card next week.

Meanwhile, Steven Lewis and Josh Leather each secured stoppage victories against respective opposition in the super-lightweight division.

Lewis moved to 11-0, with six early endings, with a final-round finish against Marek Laskowski, the Aberdeen-based Pole who slips to 7-6-1 (1 KO), while Leather, who knocked down his opponent in the first and third rounds, ended the challenge of Henry Janes in that third stanza.

And there were wins for Kevin Satchell and Declan Geraghty.
