He's taking time off for mental health.

Middleweight prospect Austin “Ammo” Williams says he’ll be taking some time to take care of his mental health and wellness. This comes one week after Ryan Garcia withdrew from fight with Javier Fortuna to focus on mental health. Health is always first!Last edited by jabuppercut; 04-29-2021, 10:38 AM.Comment

My fear is that these ****ing fighters are doing it for publicity, which totally devalues the real issues with mental health.
Following the Tyson Fury model, who has almost certainly profited from his demons.Comment

He has profited sure but it was genuine. He was talking about his mental health long before the Wlad fight.
A big thing with young fighters today or anyone in general Is I don’t think everyone is equipped to deal with what it takes to be a famous person today, Or even relatively well-known.
In the past you could be famous but detached from the public, now you have your name plastered all over social media non stop every day and everyone has an opinion about you, often negative and it’s visible to yourself and everybody. You can never escape it, everyone has a voice. You could remove your social media but people are still there talking about you either way. It’s a constant stream
I don’t think some people are mentally equipped for that. A lot of people actually.Comment

yes, Fury did talk about suicidal depression when he was real young. he was saying 'one min im fine and the next i want to kill myself'.
my issue with it is that he's absolutely used and abused it. he just won't stop. now he's got fat andy on it and ryan garcia etc. they will all release self-help books later and make money. mark my words andy ruiz will have a self help book one day
"jehhh maynn...hard wurk, dejicayshunz"
i hate andy ruiz man, can't stand the sleazy talking weirdo. i dont understand how mexicans like him. he's so fkin weird.

How much money is he supposed to be getting at this level?
How much money he getting for anyone that knows? I suspect he'd doing better than most folks with a handful of fights. Still seems like a situation where dude is a lil off right now or going through some sh^t & cuz of social media its more out there than it usually would be. Someone needs to go talk to this mofo &/or get him some assistance of whatever sort he needs. And I doubt its money help.
