Poor kid seems to be having mental health issues

I haven't seen or heard anything about "Retiring" or any of this stuff, provide links or something but yes the fight is off! Maybe just too fast of a turn around for Ammo after a physical fight with Douglin in which he did take some big shots during that fight. To jump right back in after that fight in May Seems way too fast after a fight like that.

Weird. But hey man I'm sure plenty of guys have straight quit boxing despite success they just didn't have social media to announce it. Anyone remember Jamel Hinton? That kid was for sure a future champ, but poof he just up & quit.

Sh^t man Ryan might quit to. He actually can make more money long term outside of boxing than in it with far less risk to his health.

Thanks! WOW! Found this too, he is acting very strange indeed

Do people not realize that Ammo Williams is upset with the pay he is getting? He is flaming on Hearn about what he said he’s worth. Many boxers are undergoing pandemic protocol for paycuts and I guess guys like Ammo Williams can’t handle the pressure for the money he’s getting or being told to be getting while under Matchroom.

with all the drama of high profile boxers complaining about pays or splits it’s natural that a talent like Austin Williams feels this way.

he’s going through the Mikey Garcia effect and many before under Top Rank. The difference is that Austin is venting early and over-evaluating himself too much for noise he hasn’t accomplished yet. This is reasonable because Ammo is a very good fighter and has potential as a contender, easily. He probably thinks he’s top 10 without a doubt. Therefore, he wants to be compensated with purses before the pandemic. Eddie is saying it’s not possible, and that’s the nature of his contract and won’t settle for less. That’s the reason why he’s venting hard and losing it. With post ***, new shootings, pro LDBC, covid… many are losing their mind and these are vital years (age) for a boxer to get proper fights..

I wonder if this dude is alright.

If I were Ryan, I'd quit and do something else.

Well he seems to be acting strange too, not just venting about his worth

but if it is about that, he’s obviously overestimating his value. He’s still an undercard fighter lower down on the bill right now.

Also, say what you want about Hearn, You almost never hear any complaints from fighters he’s worked with regarding payment and contracts. He seems to be very straight in that respect.

if Ammo does have complaints, he should deal with it professionally with his team, rather than act difficult in public, attacking the promoter on social media and probably burning his bridges before he’s even achieved anything.
