Danny Williams Keeps British heavyweight title
The British Boxing Board of Control met today (Wednesday) and decided the 36 year-old from London should keep the belt – despite his shock defeat in this month’s ‘Prizefighter’ competition to underdog Carl Baker.
Manager Mickey Helliet said: “This is such good news. I didn’t think it would be right to strip Danny of the title because he lost a three-round fight.
“He has been a great ambassador for British boxing and deserved better than that.
“Danny was going to carry on boxing anyway and this news has put a spring in his step.”
Williams is scheduled make his next title defence against the winner of the Sam Sexton-Martin Rogan Commonwealth title rematch in Belfast on November 6.
