I thought i've give my Boxrec brothers an early shout about a Danny Williams exhibition & Q&A.

It's happening at the Ring Gym (Cityboxer) 70 Ewer St, Southwak SE1 0NR on Thursday 15th November.

Danny will be doing 2x short exhibitions against Kevin Mitchell & Keith Long then the best of his fights will be shown on a big screen followed by a question & answer session.

There's a fully licensed bar & the doors open at 6.30.

£30 ringside, £20 outer ringside. Capacity is i'd guess around 100.

There will be an ad in tomorrows Boxing News but if you want to make sure you get in pm me.

I take it you mean the cruiserweight Kevin Mitchell rather than the super-feather!

I for one would be delighted to see what Danny can do with oils.

Although he strikes me more as an acrylics man...

Will there be free booze, like a "proper" art event?

Is Danny going to carry on with his career?

a muslim and a fully licenced bar......the 2 dont go together do they?

are there any bacon butties?

That did occur to me but i didn't point it out, maybe there'll be ringcard girls wearing burkas to balance things out.

It's the cruiser Mitchell fortunately/unfortunately depending on your point of view.

Spencer tells me that Danny's weight is little over 17 so he must still have some ambition to have kept Mr Kipling at bay for this long.

After some of the states he's turned up to the ring in in recent years he should be doing things like this for free to give something back to the fans!

Really?

After slagging off Danny Williams for most of his career, would it look hypocritical if I then went to the event?

Mmmm beer.

its halal beer.....so thats ok..

With all due respect to apparently one of the nice guys of boxing..... but really - why would anyone want to pay to see this? We're hardly talking about Muhammad Ali here.... and highlights of his fights?

What being Ko'd by AUdley HArrison for goodness sakes. Sure he beat Tyson, but so did Kevin McBride.

I'm afraid WIlliams is an average heavy, even at British level - Sprott, Harrison, Francis beat him, and he got battered by Klit and Sam...

The first question should be "why in Allah's name do you think you deserve a tribute night?"

I know, I mean, Danny's a nice bloke, good luck to him, but the idea of shelling out to watch him box exhibition bouts is frankly bizzare, he's just not enough of a big deal to Warrant it. Big Frank perhaps, the guy won a world title, but Danny never got to even European level.

answer: hes a nice guy... i met him briefly before and he was very very genuine

Bruno has had the dough, not our fault if he has spunked it.

Why couldn't Danny get a space on Saturdays bill?
is he no longer dealing with Warren?

Actually this is rather interesting - I thought the BBBC only allowed one name to be used by only one pro. This was the reason Michael Gomez didn't call himself Michael Armstrong....

Have they change this? Or did I just imagine this rule?

Yes, so I hear. But George, the local pisshead in my local is a genuine nice guy and funny to boot. He is also a world class drinker....

BUt I wouldn't want to pay £30 to watch him throw them back.

It hasn't changed, cruiserweight Mitchell retired before featherweight Mitchell came onto the scene.

There are a few cases of same names at the moment Andrew Lowe and SR Russell being two of them and of course Gomez and Spartacus.

Keith Long still fighting?

Jon, will there be an unlimited supply of cherry bakewells?

That much to watch 2 exhibitions against retired pros?? Pure exercise at someone nicking a few quid

Exactly. I'd think long and hard about spending that much to watch Williams in a real fight after some of his previous debacles.

Possibly but you'd need to get there early. Even then i'd question the wisdom of risking the chance of finding yourself Between Danny & a stack of Cherry Bakewells.

Hey he's not looking too far from his fighting weight....I thought that Danny would've blown up more....

Something leads me to suspect that Spencer Fearon could be involved somewhere along the line.

To be fair, this is surely aimed at the fans and supporters of Danny Williams, and over the years Danny has provided plenty of entertainment for them. It sounds like they are being realistic with the seating capacity...100 odd places and not hiring out an oversized arena. I hope everyone who does attend has a good night, despite his off nights, Danny is a great guy and a good boxer.
