Professional career

[edit]

Williams' first notable win after turning pro in 1997 came in 1999 when he won against the previously unbeaten Frank Wood in two rounds.[citation needed] In 2000, he fought against Jameel McCline in a match that ended in a 10-round draw. He followed this up with a six round decision against Cisse Salif. He won the WBA FEDECARIBE Heavyweight title on December 6, 2003. Two years later, Williams won the WBC CABOFE on December 5, 2005, defeating Willie Perryman in the undercard match of the Winky Wright/Sam Soliman Middleweight bout.[citation needed] This was followed by the NBA Heavyweight title on March 31, 2006. On July 28, Williams defeated Josh Gutcher 71 seconds into the first round. Upon his return to the Bahamas Williams made his eight consecutive victory on April 18, 2007, defeating Wade Lewis with a first round KO. On January 22, 2011 Williams fought against Evander Holyfield at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.[citation needed] Holyfield started the bout slowly and in the second round, he was cut in the left eye following an accidental clash of heads. In round three as he took several combinations. After the end of the round, Holyfield told his corner that he was unable to see due to the cut. Consequently, the bout was ruled a no contest.[1] Williams admitted his frustrations to the press, telling them that after the fiasco he was considering taking fights in Europe. In 2012, he pulled off an upset win over Chauncy Welliver, before losing to Robert Helenius. In June 2013, he was outpointed by Gerald Washington.[citation needed]
