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
