Before the fight, he connected with the fans in the official press conference and reflected the importance of the contest in his boxing career.
“He is a blessing, I know a lot of time the fighters, they act like you know we are super enemies and stuff like that. But honestly, he (Denis Douglin) is a blessing for taking this fight. He is a gateway for me to be a world champion contender seriously. You can’t argue that I am not ready for the real guys after I fight him,” said ‘Ammo’.
The middleweight division has some serious threats, and it can still be a bit early for Williams to go for the A-listers. However, Douglin is a reputed pugilist, and defeating him can actually validate the youngster’s entrance amongst the top-rated ones.
Previewing his future, Austin Williams continued, “If I beat him when I knock him out, what are people gonna say? ‘Ammo’ needs another 10 fights? 5 fights? No. They are gonna say, ‘he took the risk, that jump, he got the fight and he is ready for the next step’.”
