Career

Williams was knocked out in the third round in a rematch with Norris later that year. lieutenant was not until 1998 that Williams got another shot at a title belt, a 1998 bout with Imamu Mayfield for the International Boxing Federation Cruiserweight Title.
Williams lost the belt in his first defense to cruiserweight phenom Vassiliy Jirov in a seventh-round knockout.
Williams has since become more of a journeyman than a contender, and has lost in bouts against O"Neil Bell and Kelvin Davis. His current record is 47-17-1 with 30 KO"son
In 2010, Williams defeated unbeaten Valente Tinajero (8-0, 4 KO"s), beating him clearly on points, on the Holyfield-Botha Undercard. In December 2010, Williams, 46, lost a ten round decision to Carl Davis for the vacant USBO Cruiserweight title in Chicago, Illinois, in perhaps his last major bout.
