Danny claims this was his retirement fight. Let’s see if he pops up again. For anyone desperate for some high quality fight action, this is not it…

Probably still at uni tho.

Not unless they are lecturers

Let's hope he stays retired.

Its in a bloidy gymnasium. What did he get for that fight, 50 quid and a fish supper?

He looks really skinny there.

Please god, call it a day.

He looks in great shape but he can barely stand up. It’s a shame that he is still doing this, I’d really like to know the reason why (it’s not money).
The organisers here couldn’t even be bothered to take the punch bags down. I remember seeing a video of Robert Stieglitz fighting in a floor mounted ring with a couple of people leaning against the wall in what looks like a small gym on a high street literally one fight after boxing Abraham in an arena for the WBO World Championship

It's sad to see, he looks old and expressionless. I can't work out how he's making money out of these fights either, he can't be getting a lot for them and by the time he's paid travelling and other expenses there won't be much left.

I actually think he looks quite bad, he seems to have lost a huge amount of muscle mass.

Clearly his balance is gone, and has been for some time - neurological damage, or maybe damage to his inner ear, which is not unheard of.

Another thing - how fcking big is that ref - he makes Danny and the other bloke look like middleweights!

Danny is 6 foot 3 from memory, he must be 6 foot 7 or more than ref,

Ah right, no it was the camera angle it's filmed from.

This thread was started in September 2020 when Danny announced his ‘retirement’ (which certainly wasn’t the first time even then). I really do hope he finally means it now.

Really hope this is Danny’s swan song.
Good guy
Super talented as a youngster
Total belief wasn’t there. He had all the tools but confidence in himself was lacking.
Jimmy Mc tried to get him there. Just didn’t stick.

The Potter fight though is still a fav of mine.

Forget the Tyson fight. That is just a highlight reel moment. A shell of the man.

Saw Danny a few times. Great night at York Hall. Think he beat N’Gou.
Martin Power was on the card. Kevin Mitchell, Lee Beavis, John McDermott and a Turkish fella, Kazaz. His supporters were rocking it in the mezzanine.
Great night. Jim Watt and Johnny were absolute gentlemen mixing with the fans.
Great memories.

Good retirement Danny and thank you

He is much slimmer than ever before but his figure looks good

I guess at his age he's lost a lot of muscle mass, but it does look quite drastic, Danny was always a big man.

Anyway, he really really needs to jack it in, I'm sure quite a lot of damage has already been done, but if he ships any more punishment at this stage, his deterioration will accelerate rapidly.

Indeed, anyone booking or boxing him now is taking advantage in a very dreadful way and nothing good is coming from any contest.

When you find yourself trapped in a corner, Danny Williams 6foot three. Shipping lots of right hands. Let it be.

And in his hour of darkness, he got knocked clean out by Auderley. Shipping lots of left hands, let it be.

Let it be. Let it be. Let it be. Let it be.

That first knock down it looked like the guy went down on purpose. Then Williams hurt him bad for making it look like crap.

The journey continues tomorrow in Estonia, Danny boxing a guy 8 - 0 with 8 by stoppage, who gives a license at 50 years old ???

he now fights in gymnasiums
before a crowd of maybe 3
for fecks sake Danny Williams
let it be

I think I've already said in this thread I remember watching him coming up when I was a kid, I'm late 40's now.

How much can he be getting paid for these fights though? Surely be better getting a job in london.

But you can make 5-600 a week just as a security guard in a shop or office block, without getting hurt, surly that would be a better option

I imagine he works too
