Who is next for Danny?
Will he be classed as too dangerous now by the belt holders, will he be forced into fighting the likes of Monte Barret now, which could bring higher risks?
Evander Holyfields name has been thrown up, but this whilst seeming as a easy job could turn out to be risk also.
It would be a step back to fight for the British or European after he took the risk and got rewarded.
So who is next?

What next for Danny?

South London Press

NOBODY knows what lies in store next for Britain's boxing hero Danny Williams - not even the fighter himself!

The Press speculation has gone into overdrive since Brixton star Williams' four-round demolition of Mike Tyson.

And Williams said: "I really don't know where I go from here. There's been talk of a Tyson rematch, Evander Holyfield fight, or even a world title shot. But that's yet to be sorted out.

"Either way it'll be a big day that will set me up - but I'm looking further than that now. I'm at the top of the tree now and I aim to fight to stay there.

"I don't want to be remembered as a one-fight wonder. I don't want to be the guy that knocked out Tyson and then disappeared.

"It was a great performance. I must have watched the fight 2,000 times and it just gets better every time. The finish was unbelievable.

"But I want to use this as a springboard to further success. Yes, I can make money now but I've been in boxing since I was eight because I love the sport.

"I want to achieve things and win belts. I want to be remembered as a great heavyweight boxer."

Certainly no-one will forget Williams in a hurry - even those critics who wrote him off completely.

"I've got no axe to grind with those people," said Williams.

"I'd have made myself underdog going into this fight just because it was Mike Tyson in the other corner. But now I'm in the driving seat."

Hmm, I notice a slight incongruity here. Danny claims he has been boxing since he was 8 because he loves the sport, before the fight he said he was forced into boxing.

Minor point, just niggling really.

I think Danny should fight the likes of Guinn, Barrett or Mesi, if Danny really believes he is that good, these guys would be no problem to him, and if he ever wants to be world champ, then these fights have to be taken, aviod no one.

It’s the past now, but was Tyson biting off a little too much from the beginning of his latest comeback.
As proved now Danny was too good, all right most of us didn’t expect him to produce what most of us knew he could. But Danny was even to the most unobservant armchair expert an active big heavyweight, Whilst Tyson had been out of the ring for a long time.
And his next fight would have been a very awkward Vassiliy Jirov, again a tricky fighter, who whilst being small for a heavyweight, is also an active and proven quantity.
Was Tyson being given a too harder route back?

Thats obscene, K1 at its best.
But who won.
I saw Bob Sap fight once, hysterical, 20 seconds came out bulling and winging away and then was totally exhausted, be could barely hold his gloves up for the remainder of the round, but the other fella being about 15stone lighter did not hit hard enough to put him down..K1 total crap :TU:
