Comebacks are as entertaining as it gets in boxing. From being down on one’s knees, catching a break from the rampant punches your opponent has landed. To make a pivotal comeback in the fight, boxing has it all. The tension between the two boxers going against each other can’t be expressed in words. One characteristic that makes a fighter stand out is the never give up attitude. And just that can do wonders for the boxer involved. However, boxing is a sport of two arms. But, a boxer once defied the odds and his dislocated shoulder to knock out his opponent.

A recent clip from the famous clash between Danny Williams and Mark Potter has resurfaced on the internet. The fight shows Williams’ tenacity as he makes a stunning comeback after having dislocated his shoulder while fighting his opponent. Williams had once been challenged for the WBC heavyweight and ring magazines titles during his professional career. But he was unable to add his name to the list of world champions.
