We have knows various instances where a fighter is injured and unfit to take part in the fight. Yet, there is a bizarre tale of how a boxer confirmed that he wasn't up to it.?
Danny Williams informed the fans in attendance that his fight with Gueney Artak was cancelled after making his walk to the ring in civilian clothes.??That is as outlandish as it can get.?
Williams was in line to face prospect Artak for the GBA heavyweight title in Germany on Saturday. However, the British boxer said he couldn't fight due to an illness.? ?
He made his walk to the ring with music blaring out, but the 46-year-old got on the mic and told the crowd he couldn't compete in a very strange moment.?A bizarre sequence of events and something that is unprecedented.??
Williams has a 58-28 boxing record and last fought in September against Kristaps Zutis where he suffered a first round knockout in Latvia.? It never looked like he was up for his 87th fight of his career.?
He just came out casually and told the crowd - he is not going to fight. What a legend.?
