Professional career

Known as "Mr. Hollywood", Williams began his professional career in 2001, and in 2005 challenged the IBF super middleweight title holder Jeff Lacy, but lost via TKO. In 2007 he drew with contender Antwun Echols. After this fight he was sporting a record of 29-2-1.

Since then, Williams has been on a long losing skid, currently, as of 2018, owning a 29-33-1 record as a professional boxer.[1][2] Despite evidence to the contrary, he claims to be a World Champion.[3]

The Contender

Williams was one of the featured boxers in Season 3 of the boxing reality TV series The Contender, which premiered September 4, 2007 on ESPN. He was eliminated in the first episode.

Mixed martial arts

Williams was defeated, by submission (kimura), in his MMA debut against Kazushi Sakuraba on Dream 11 on October 6, 2009.
