Danny Williams back on the road

[SteveO]

Roy Jones Jr.(American) won the World Boxing Union (German Version) cruiserweight title against Zine Eddine Benmakhlouf(of France, by way of Algeria).

In Moscow, Russia

He defended his German version of the belt against Courtney Fry (UK)

In Riga, Latvia

He defended, once more, his German version of the belt against Hany Atiyo(of Egypt)

In Krasnodar, Russia

Take heart though, lest you think Roy Jones has abandoned the German version of that belt. He recently won it yet again, against the decidedly very-little-or-maybe-not-at-all-German Paul Vazquez of Martinez, California, U.S.A .

In a Pensacola, Florida

Just to clarify - you don't have to be German to fight for the WBU v. (Germany based) world title.

[Fuzzy Warbles]

I think that's taken as read with an American winning a defending against NON German opposition

I know, but I didn't think 'bobbyptsd' had grasped that fact.

I wonder what sort of expenses Danny has these days? Does he actually bother paying a trainer/manager etc? Or does he just train himself & hire cornermen on an ad hoc basis? If so, he's probably doing alright financially from these sort of fights without all the typical overheads to worry about. (Not that I'm saying it's a good idea, mind you)

I think he's basically 'trained' himself for years now and I've noticed that he seems to have different corner men for virtually every fight.

What about this, one of Danny's old opponents Zsolt Bogdan won the Hungary Heavyweight Title last time out beating (are you ready?) a FRENCH Cruiserweight

He'll just pay someone to "hand up".

Who's WBA Baltic Champion?

Surely Brit Danny Williams is a mandatory!!!

Danny Williams won again last week, that's 2 on the bounce - would like him to retire on a minor high but at least he's fighting soft opposition!

I wonder how much he is getting per fight these days, this last win surely he cant get more than £500 take away travel and hotels etc where is he making a living on boxing?

And the answer to what he spends that money on is hidden within your post!

Who did he beat last week?
I thought his last outing was in June against Pavel Siska.

Danny W v RJJ

Who'd win?

Not boxing, obviously. But I'd seek it out on Youtube.

According to this, Danny is going to fight Luan Krasniqi in a charity event.

Oh, and I am fairly certain he hasn't fought since his win in the Czech Republic in June.

[TheWigwam]

Sorry guys I got my dates mixed up, thought it was the 26th of July - surprised it was so long ago and I didn't hear about it!

[PredatorHayds]

Hope Floyd gets the big man on his undercard.
PPV would go through the roof

[ronster]

Luan tried tapping up my bird once... I should have hit him. She didn't tell me until later.

Williams vs. Toney next please...

[jamesmcdonnell]

Williams vs. Toney next please...

This is a joke right?

[ILikeBeer]

Williams vs. Toney next please...

Would that be at flyweight?

[wesshaw1985]

Williams vs. Toney next please...

This is a joke right?

Instead of fighting US and Eastern European bums why not just face each other.
A veterans league could be fun. These guys are gonna keep fighting whether we like it or not...

well, not if boxing got it's stinking act together - this is the problem, that fighters are not properly tested, Toney clearly should not be able to get a license to fight - of course he might end up fighting unlicensed, but there's nothing you can do to stop people fighting in some form or another, however, it's bad for the image of boxing to have brain damaged fighters, way way past their prime, still fighting on licensed shows.

Williams vs. Toney next please...

I bet there be a few quid in for both of them.
