Danny Williams wants rematch with Mike Tyson
Danny Williams still has sleepless nights over his battering by Vitali Klitschko in December.
The 31-year-old Londoner was floored by his Ukrainian conqueror in the first, third, seventh and eighth rounds of the WBC world heavyweight title bout.
Williams has vowed to fight on and earn another world-title shot but first he wants a rematch with Mike Tyson, who he knocked out in July.
He said: “My right shoulder is healing but the main problem is stress. I was up until 4am last night. I wanted that title so badly. I had to go down to the gym and punch the bag to get my mind off it.”
Yet Williams, who still has not been paid for the Klitschko fight, is confident he will get another chance.
He said: “It’s not all over. The other world champions Chris Byrd, Lamon Brewster and John Ruiz are not in the same class as Klitschko.
“Tyson wants to come back in April and I would love to be his next opponent.” -Tysontalk.com
Williams calls for Harrison fight
Williams vows to make return
British heavyweight Danny Williams has called out rival Audley Harrison as he bids to get his career back on track.
Williams, who lost his WBC shot to Vitali Klitschko in December, has ruled out other domestic options, preferring a European tilt or a return to America.
"I'm hoping to box next for a European title or against a named American," Williams told BBC Radio Five Live.
"But I'd lick my lips if Harrison wanted to fight me because I've been calling him out for ages."
"I think that would be a massive fight, but he just keeps turning me down."
Harrison has made it clear that he sees his path to the top involving a series of fights in the USA against American opponents.-bbc
tyson lost cos williams kept hitting him non stop and not cos of tyson's knee!! tyson has no survival instint when hurt. he just stand there (ala the holyfield fight) taking punches.tyson has nothing to gain by fighting williams again (who might beat him a second time !!)tyson might as well fight "softer" opponents and make as much money as he can at this stage of his career. afterall, boxing ia a business.
Tyson beat williams up pretty bad till he did his knee.
i reckon it contributed to his loss against vitali, he had no legs at all or balance.
if tyson regains any type of fitness he destroys williams
nope !! tyson can not do more than 3/4 rounds at this stage of his career. if the opponent is there in the 4th / 5th round, tyson gets beat. williams won cos tyson was "out of breath and out of ideas", nothing to do with his knee.
i hope danny williams shuts up !! he had the chance of a life time 2 fight for the heavyweight tittle and came in "fat" (over 19 stone!! ). Now he wants a rematch with Mike Tyson ( a fighter he already beat).He blew his chance. What has Tyson got to gain by fighting williams?
instead of williams fighting skelton, i'll like to see him with samuel peter or even in with lamon brewster(wbo champ who is no gr8 shakes).A win over skelton (not guaranteed) will do nothing for williams reputation.
Danny Williams is a bum who is just after money right now. He showed the world how full of shit he is by sticking around after claiming he'd retire after "winning the world title"...
I want to see Williams fight James "Lights Out" Toney
"He destroyed my dream of fighting Mike Tyson.."

I think if he faces Tyson he get destroyed. But Audley Harrison is just fighting all the nobodys. He had the oppotunity to fight British champ Matt Skelton and he ran to America
you cant really blame williams for feeling like that but he should really just take the win he was over tyson and leave it as is and go back to fighting people around his rank cause if he fights tyson again tyson is going to floor him within 3 rounds unless tyson hurts himself again
He had his chance of the big fight. I don't think we'll be seeing him any time soon, or at all, in a big main event fight. And I don't think it's pride. He tasted glory by beating Tyson and getting a shot at the WBC belt against Klicthko, and he wants it back. And the fact that he wants a pieace of Tyson, again, even though Williams beat him bad (who goes out there telling everyone he wants a pieace of someone they already beat), shouldn't tell us otherwise. Because he knows Tyson is the only big name fighter he has a chance of getting a fight with.
