Faulks Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Danny Williams has made the bizarre admission that he is "shot" ahead of his upcoming British and Commonwealth title unification fight with Sam Sexton. The 36-year-old British champion is scheduled to return to the ring in February for what Williams claims will be his last fight. But the man famous for a four-round victory over Mike Tyson in 2004 claims his subsequent world title beating at the hands of Vitali Klitschko has left him demoralised and on the verge of walking away from boxing. "I don't think I've been the same since the Klitschko defeat," he told The Times. "I've just been fighting with heart for too long. "I'm going to train hard for this fight for one last time. I'm going to do a course to become a bodyguard for celebrities. I've got to get completely away from boxing or I'll just get dragged back in. "I'm a shot fighter. Others have been saying that about me for years, but when I say it people think that I'm joking. "This will be it, this will be the last time the ring announcer introduces Danny Williams - unless another guy called Danny Williams comes along." http://www.sport.co.uk/news/Boxing/31493/Williams_admits_he_is_shot.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telboy66 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 What a great bit of self advertising who's going pay to see this now he's making the excuses even before the fight why doesn't he just shut the fuck up & retire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faulks Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Im amazed he's come out with this.. If theres no improvemnet from the Prizefighter tourny then im afraid Sexton will eat him alive. Sorry Danners but i try to tell it how it is... I'd be interested to have your take on it???

WelshDevilRob Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 He certainly looked shot against Carl Baker. I suppose he's being truthful, It can't be to lull Sexton into a false sense of security, as the Sosnowski and Baker results confirm Danny's statements.

Brick Top Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I dont know, was this tongue in cheek? Frank Warren seemed to think Williams was being sarcastic because Warren had said he was a shot fighter. Danners spill the beans, was he been genuine?

danners2003 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Right I have to admit he does seem to be shot and he is nothing like his old self. I don't really mind that he is having this fight though as I feel he will be 100% concentrated on this fight. In prizefighter he was aiming at Harrison and looked past Baker, as I feel we all did. Danny said in front of me that he was shot, I dont think he is saying it to get Sexton off game. Don't write Danny off though as I said he should be focused. On the fan site people are saying that he needs to get through the first few rounds, then he'll be fine. I agree. Im going to be their anyway (not with belt this time, Im a bock lol) He's the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemmell100 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 sexton will stop big danny in 5. sad to see williams still fighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otley Snr Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I think the BBB of C should get involved and ban Danny from fighting....its 80% mental attitude and by Danny saying what he said is a really bad advert for boxing. Job Biscuit (But I think Danny is playing mind games)!!! eh eh!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danners2003 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 How could the bbb of c deny Danny of his last fight? I think the heart he is showing is a good advert for boxing, also the fact that it is his last fight wont put people off of going. Bear in mind a 52 year old Larry Holmes fought "the king of the four rounders" ButterBean (known for knocking people out) - I think this was more dangerous and stupid then letting Danny Williams fight Sam Sexton Danny said he is shot, but not once has he said "I'm going to lose this fight" therefore Danny should be allowed to fight this fight... Right now this is something Ive always wondered - whats this Joe Biscuit thing all about? I dont understand. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
