Danny Williams - 29th June.
Re: Danny Williams - 29th June.
I decided I’d do a few shows selling tickets and the coach booked for months etc and got a call a day b4 saying can’t find me an opponent so cost me money then that happened again twice more straight after so I just wanted to box and got offered biba - it was on boxrec then etc - I did then think I wana earn a few quid going on the road but the board said no as I’d refused to go to a meeting in Cardiff about boxing on a biba show- I said it would be cheaper me paying a solicitor to go for an hour then take days off work and drive 7/8 hours just for a meeting - I live in the lakes!! They just said u were asked to a meeting and didn’t come so no u can’t get ur license back- but to be honest lee Mcallister manages me and I’m getting fights with out selling tickets - I’m going abroad etc so a good 12 month with Lee and il sale off into the sun set - an underachiever but content mate

Re: Danny Williams - 29th June.
Thanks for the insight Lee. You always come across as a solid boxer who puts on a decent show for the paying punters. Good luck for 29 June mateamirah wrote: ↑31 May 2019, 09:14 I decided I’d do a few shows selling tickets and the coach booked for months etc and got a call a day b4 saying can’t find me an opponent so cost me money then that happened again twice more straight after so I just wanted to box and got offered biba - it was on boxrec then etc - I did then think I wana earn a few quid going on the road but the board said no as I’d refused to go to a meeting in Cardiff about boxing on a biba show- I said it would be cheaper me paying a solicitor to go for an hour then take days off work and drive 7/8 hours just for a meeting - I live in the lakes!!

Re: Danny Williams - 29th June.
I was working with Lee but not official at the time - I was meant to be fighting Matt Ellis but he didn’t show for what ever reason so Lee stepped in - yer I got a ban and big fine but thankfully the board reduced the fine - honestly Ud think I was on footballer money the original fine then thankfully it got dropped to hundreds instead of thousands - thanks for the good luck appreciate it

Danny vs Fres Oquendo would be an intriguing freak show fight.
I can imagine it now REPEAT OR REVENGE

This event was cancelled at the last minute, I assume Williams must have pulled out to take the (presumably) more lucrative job in Kazakhstan?

Re: Danny Williams - 29th June.
Just watched the fight and what a sorry state of affairs Danny has become. Hes basically a human punch bag.
Anyone recognize any of Danny's corner? They should be ashamed of themselves. What a pityful sight

Re: Danny Williams - 29th June.
I know what you mean about the cornermen, but he seems to have a different 'team' with him every time he fights ..

A bit at an argument on here and an actual fight developed - if I remember correctly both lads seemed sound and made up after the fight which was a draw.
Good luck to him, he just wants to box - I bet he could write a book on all the shite that goes on behind the scenes that boxers who are not connected to the top promoters have to put up with

Re: Danny Williams - 29th June.
There is no way he brings a team with him, he just grabs whoever is there on the night and gives them a drink.Higger Tor wrote: ↑06 Jul 2019, 16:58 I know what you mean about the cornermen, but he seems to have a different 'team' with him every time he fights ..

Re: Danny Williams - 29th June.
Though one does wonder why a British bloke just happened to be 'there on the night' on a bill in Kazakhstan?
Re: Danny Williams - 29th June.
I think they just couldn’t afford it all in the end and the arseholes let everyone down at the last minute- I’m guessing they couldn’t afford Danny or any of the fights - they have come up with rubbish like it’s political and the bbbofc made a complaint but it was just to big for them to pull off!! Cost me Monet as well - was very pissed off getting told the day b4 I flew!!
Re: Danny Williams - 29th June.
No co-incidence mate - the mystery British guy has worked in Danny's corner many times over the years and was involved in training Danny in the early daysHigger Tor wrote: ↑07 Jul 2019, 01:54 Though one does wonder why a British bloke just happened to be 'there on the night' on a bill in Kazakhstan?

It's a real bummer when sh*t like this happens mate - wasted your time & money - and no doubt others were the same!amirah wrote: ↑08 Jul 2019, 05:44 I think they just couldn’t afford it all in the end and the arseholes let everyone down at the last minute- I’m guessing they couldn’t afford Danny or any of the fights - they have come up with rubbish like it’s political and the bbbofc made a complaint but it was just to big for them to pull off!!

Easy to come up with excuses to justify why the show got cancelled - but any boxing show takes a lot of work to put on & promote - as this relatively inexperienced / novice promoter, who was putting on Cyprus' first ever Pro-boxing show, found out
Re: Danny Williams - 29th June.
Things happen and I understand that but you hit the nail on the head mate - people with no experience on how to arrange these things or been experience on how to cancel one and give more notice that a few hours

No offense meant, but I'm sure that's been a number of fellow Brits in his corner.Kassel wrote: ↑08 Jul 2019, 06:08

When he fought Pavel Doroshilov I'm sure Jim Evans was his cornerman?
