The camp of heavyweight contender DaVarryl "Touch of Sleep" Williamson has issued a response to former WBO Heavyweight Champion Sergei Liakhovich and his manager, Ivaylo Gotzev, regarding their recent public statements. Liakhovich is quoted as wanting to return to the ring against James Toney rather than take the offer of his promoter to face Williamson in what he calls a “meaningless” fight.
“Why don’t Sergei and his team just admit that they don't want to fight me because I'm a much more dangerous fight than a shot James Toney? The ‘White Wolf’ is behaving more like a domesticated dog. They want to say that I was 50% responsible for the most boring fight in heavyweight history? What was his last fight with Briggs? The only excitement came in the last 15 seconds of the fight and that was watching Sergei pick himself up off the scorer's table.
"Don't play games Ivaylo, just man up and admit the truth. Just say that DaVarryl Williamson is TOO dangerous for us, we don't want Sergei getting knocked out again! It's too dangerous a fight to come back to! We can all respect that. James Toney brings a couple dollars to the table, I'll admit that, but don't run around saying that I'm a meaningless fight. You don't want the fight, that's fine, I'll happily move on to someone else that has the backbone to get in with a live dog and fight for a meaningful position in the heavyweight division
