Arthur James Williams (born November 12, 1964) is an American former professional boxer who competed between 1989 and 2010. He held the IBF cruiserweight title from 1998 to 1999 and challenged twice for the WBA cruiserweight title in 1994.

Professional career

Williams became professional in 1989 and fell short in his first shot at a major championship title, a 1994 split-decision loss to Orlin Norris for the World Boxing Association Cruiserweight Title. Williams was knocked out in the third round in a rematch with Norris later that year. It was not until 1998 that Williams got another shot at a title belt, a 1998 bout with Imamu Mayfield for the International Boxing Federation Cruiserweight Title. Williams lost the belt in his first defense to cruiserweight phenom Vassiliy Jirov in a seventh-round knockout. Williams has since become more of a journeyman than a contender, and has lost in bouts against O'Neil Bell and Kelvin Davis. His current record is 47-17-1 with 30 KO's. In 2010, Williams defeated Valente Tinajero (8-0, 4 KO's) on the Holyfield-Botha Undercard. In December 2010, Williams, 46, lost a ten-round decision to Carl Davis for the vacant USBO Cruiserweight title in Chicago, Illinois, in his last major bout.
