	Once again, Williams' retirement proved to be short-lived as he fought Denis Bakhtov in Podolsk, Russia on 8 December 2012, losing a close but unanimous decision over 10 rounds. 13 days later his career hit a new low as he was outpointed by 12–19–1 journeyman Werner Kreiskott over 8 rounds. The contest was unsanctioned due to Williams' refusal to take a drugs test after the Hammer fight preventing him from being sanctioned in Germany. In March 2013 he boxed an exhibition vs cruiserweight Mairis Briedis in Riga, Latvia and went over in two rounds as agreed beforehand. This fight was of course unsanctioned though somehow has been counted as a genuine loss on his record. Danny fought American Kelvin Price on the 18th of May 2013 losing a controversial 10 round decision in Russia. Next he fought English hard man Dominic Negus in an unlicensed bout in London, England as a farewell to his British fans, stopping Negus in the 4th round. Next up was 9-0 Marcin Rekowski who stopped Williams in the 4th, followed by a close ten round decision loss to former WBC champion Oleg Maskaev. In December 2013 Williams would fight in Abu Dhabi where he stopped Mazur Ali in 6 rounds. 11 days later Williams would lose a 6 round split decision to 8-45-6 Tomas Mrazek in Prague. 2 months later he got stopped for the first time in his career in the 1st round by 27-1 Polish heavyweight Andrzej Wawrzyk (who was coming off a ko loss to Alexander Povetkin). After 2 knockdowns the referee rightly stopped the fight. 3 months later Williams returned to the win column with a 1st round ko of his own vs Martin Stensky in Czech Republic. Remaining in the Czech Republic, just 7 days later Danny would lose a 4 round decision to 3-4 journeyman Frantisek Kynkal then 3 months later he lost a 4 rounder to debutant Pavel Doroshilov in Russia. In October 2014, Swedish prospect Adrian Granat would stop Williams in the second by TKO in Germany and in December 7-0 Romanian Zsolt Bogdan beat him on a controversial 10 round decision in Budapest.

	Once again, Williams' retirement proved to be short-lived as he fought Denis Bakhtov in Podolsk, Russia on 8 December 2012, losing a close but unanimous decision over 10 rounds. 13 days later his career hit a new low as he was outpointed by 12–19–1 journeyman Werner Kreiskott over 8 rounds. The contest was unsanctioned due to Williams' refusal to take a drugs test after the Hammer fight preventing him from being sanctioned in Germany. In March 2013 he boxed an exhibition vs cruiserweight Mairis Briedis in Riga, Latvia and went over in two rounds as agreed beforehand. This fight was of course unsanctioned though somehow has been counted as a genuine loss on his record. Danny fought American Kelvin Price on the 18th of May 2013 losing a controversial 10 round decision in Russia. Next he fought English hard man Dominic Negus in an unlicensed bout in London, England as a farewell to his British fans, stopping Negus in the 4th round. Next up was 9-0 Marcin Rekowski who stopped Williams in the 4th, followed by a close ten round decision loss to former WBC champion Oleg Maskaev. In December 2013 Williams would fight in Abu Dhabi where he stopped Mazur Ali in 6 rounds. 11 days later Williams would lose a 6 round split decision to 8-45-6 Tomas Mrazek in Prague. 2 months later he got stopped for the first time in his career in the 1st round by 27-1 Polish heavyweight Andrzej Wawrzyk (who was coming off a ko loss to Alexander Povetkin). After 2 knockdowns the referee rightly stopped the fight. 3 months later Williams returned to the win column with a 1st round ko of his own vs Martin Stensky in Czech Republic. Remaining in the Czech Republic, just 7 days later Danny would lose a 4 round decision to 3-4 journeyman Frantisek Kynkal then 3 months later he lost a 4 rounder to debutant Pavel Doroshilov in Russia. In October 2014, Swedish prospect Adrian Granat would stop Williams in the second by TKO in Germany and in December 7-0 Romanian Zsolt Bogdan beat him on a controversial 10 round decision in Budapest.

	Williams defended his British title for a third and final time against Dereck Chisora on 15 May 2010. Williams lost by TKO in round two. Before the fight he promised this would be his last fight, win or lose. The fight was originally due to take place against Sam Sexton in February but was put back to May after Sexton injured his hand. Sexton withdrew from the fight again after his mother suffered a brain aneurysm and Chisora stepped in as a replacement. Williams announced his retirement immediately afterwards.

	Williams returned to boxing after nearly a year of inactivity with a 2nd round TKO victory over German journeyman Frank Kary Roth in Bielefeld on 5 March 2011. He was now being licensed to fight by the Baltic League of Professional Boxing, with the British Boxing Board of Control stating they had concerns about Williams's decline in ability to box. On 9 April, he scored his second KO win since his comeback. He won by a 1st round KO against Hungarian Laszlo Toth. On 25th June Williams suffered a TKO defeat against Manuel Charr. The fight was controversially stopped in round 7 after a barrage from Williams was returned by a short flurry from Charr. It appeared that the referee stopped the fight in Charr's favour as soon as it looked like he may be in trouble. He then won a 6 round SD against former Cruiserweight World champion Alfred Cole on 3 September, in Sweden, Cole returning after two years away from the sport.

	A fight with unbeaten Alexander Ustinov was set to take place in October 2011, but Williams withdrew due to a viral infection. Williams fought the Norwegian heavyweight boxer Leif Olve Dolonen Larsen in Pabellon Municipal, Silla, Valencia, Comunidad Valenciana, Spain on Friday 2 December 2011. Williams was dropped several times by the former NFL footballer and the fight was stopped in the second round. Williams announced his retirement once again shortly afterwards, but a return to boxing was scheduled against 0–3 middleweight Marvin Meyer, leading to various hoax articles claiming that Williams was moving down to middleweight. This fight never happened, and neither did a rematch with Zoltan Petranyi for the Universal Boxing Organisation (UBO) European title, which was called off on the day of the fight after Williams was cut when he fell over in the shower. The two fighters entered the ring on fight night to apologise to the crowd for the incident. A second rescheduling of the fight, which had already been postponed from 2011 due to "personal problems" for Williams, was promised but was never rescheduled.

	Once again, Williams' retirement proved to be short-lived as he fought Denis Bakhtov in Podolsk, Russia on 8 December 2012, losing a close but unanimous decision over 10 rounds. 13 days later his career hit a new low as he was outpointed by 12–19–1 journeyman Werner Kreiskott over 8 rounds. The contest was unsanctioned due to Williams' refusal to take a drugs test after the Hammer fight preventing him from being sanctioned in Germany. In March 2013 he boxed an exhibition vs cruiserweight Mairis Briedis in Riga, Latvia and went over in two rounds as agreed beforehand. This fight was of course unsanctioned though somehow has been counted as a genuine loss on his record. Danny fought American Kelvin Price on the 18th of May 2013 losing a controversial 10 round decision in Russia. Next he fought English hard man Dominic Negus in an unlicensed bout in London, England as a farewell to his British fans, stopping Negus in the 4th round. Next up was 9-0 Marcin Rekowski who stopped Williams in the 4th, followed by a close ten round decision loss to former WBC champion Oleg Maskaev. In December 2013 Williams would fight in Abu Dhabi where he stopped Mazur Ali in 6 rounds. 11 days later Williams would lose a 6 round split decision to 8-45-6 Tomas Mrazek in Prague. 2 months later he got stopped for the first time in his career in the 1st round by 27-1 Polish heavyweight Andrzej Wawrzyk (who was coming off a ko loss to Alexander Povetkin). After 2 knockdowns the referee rightly stopped the fight. 3 months later Williams returned to the win column with a 1st round ko of his own vs Martin Stensky in Czech Republic. Remaining in the Czech Republic, just 7 days later Danny would lose a 4 round decision to 3-4 journeyman Frantisek Kynkal then 3 months later he lost a 4 rounder to debutant Pavel Doroshilov in Russia. In October 2014, Swedish prospect Adrian Granat would stop Williams in the second by TKO in Germany and in December 7-0 Romanian Zsolt Bogdan beat him on a controversial 10 round decision in Budapest.
