Night williams from hereford took up boxing.
Nine years ago, but endured a stop-start amateur career under the banner of south y boxing club, his amateur run contained 13 bouts with seven wins before he followed trainer.
Tony chadwick, a former coach at south y to the city of hereford boxing academy chadwick, will now take him into the pro code, a far cry from williams original sporting aspirations when he was a winger for the hereford-based grassroots football team.
Since fc the father of two who was engaged to be married, works as a mechanical engineer in a factory and he plans to campaign as a super lightweight william said, i wish i’d started boxing when i was younger.
I was 24 when i decided to give it a go just for fitness and i hadn’t really played football since i didn’t take blocking seriously, though, when i was an amateur and i always seem to struggle to get fights, so it’s unfinished business.
For me, it’s a burning question whether i can do this as a pro and seeing the difference from being an amateur.
I think it would have niggled me if i didn’t find out.
I’Ve got charlie, my fiance and my two fantastic kids, my daughter, nyan and son stan.
So it’s a happy life to go along with the boxing, i’m definitely a fighter.
I come forward and i love a tear up, which my coach tells me off about.
Sometimes, we’ve been working on that getting to be getting me to box a bit more.
It’S in my nature to stand in the center of ring and trade, but i’ll have to be smarter than that, particularly in pro boxing.
It’S another learning process.
Yes, it is bcb are also happy to inform us that cliff henry will also be fighting at these side.
Rooms cliff henry will continue to be all thanks to all people.
As his pro boxing journey gathers pace.
He goes again when bcb promotions return to the eastside rooms in birmingham with fight night set for friday april 29th.
He proves that life begins at 40 when he made his pro debut with a flawless points, whitewash victory over ben thomas at the same venue back on april.
Sorry, on february 25th, all the day later, henry was celebrating his 41st birthday, with a decent victory.
To look back on having floored thomas in the first round, registering a 40-35 points.
Call at the final bell.
The jamaican-born light heavyweight who lives in hereford was forced into making the decision of either turning pro or stopping fighting elementary regulations.
State the boxers can only be registered up to the end of the calendar year of their 40th birthday, meaning henry was timed out.
He only took up the sport four years ago, racking up 11 beds with seven wins over a short amateur career spent in the south fly boxing club he’s now coached by tony choni, tony chadwick, out of the city of hereford boxing academy, where pro stablemates include the Aforementioned danny williams and liam o’hare henry by the way, is still serving as an infantry officer in the british army too, and was recently sent to the united states on a short working trip as part of his duties but married father.
Four is just busy at home too, but henry wouldn’t have it any other way, but with boxing another area, where he’s determined to make his mark, he said, i’m obviously a busy man and it can be hard keeping up my training when i’m away, but i’m i Always manage to keep fit wherever i may be and if you go to boxing247.
com website and you see his picture you’ll know that’s a pretty true statement.
This guy looks good as a fiddle.
He said, but there’s opportunity to go out, running and do shadow boxing, press-ups, sit-ups, squats and other forms of exercise which he obviously does a lot.
That makes up to an extent for not being in the gym, and i work very hard when i get back.
Fortunately, there’s always sparring for me too.
I enjoyed my birthday.
We took the day to relax and then i went for a nice meal with my before my birthday, my wife veronica was at the fight, but my kids are too young.
I was happy with my performance.
I stuck to the game plan and the knockdown was pleasing, but i didn’t go out there.
Looking for the stoppage, we were clenching in the corner and i broke free to get my hands back.
It was about timing, really i threw a stiff left jab and he went over, but i knew he was a tough boy.
I followed up with body shots and i’m just head hunting and it was a big night and i didn’t want to do anything silly.
So i just kept working behind a job.
I wanted to make sure that everything i did was calculated and meticulous.
So i think i made a bit of a statement.
I just need to keep on improving now i’m new to the pro game, but i already know there’s plenty left in the tank, so i’m glad to have the opportunity to get there again.
I love to work my way towards becoming a champion and the area title is my target it’s early days, but there’s nothing wrong with having ambition and at the age of 41 i’ll say that’s pretty true.

Today, archie sharp says he has the game plan to cause shakur stevenson problems and he believes the american is worried about fighting him.
Even though stevenson recently said i’m the greatest anyway.
Sharp is backing stevenson to become unified, super featherweight champ this weekend when he faces oscar valdez in las vegas and the sharpshooter wants to be his next opponent.
Stevenson is the wbo title, holder and sharp has been breathing down his neck as the number one ranked contender with the sanctioning body since november, the essex fighter admits he faces a crucial period in his career to turn his lofty rating with the wbo into the position Of mandatory challenger for stevenson, he says a lot of people are running away from stevenson for good reason.
He’S a very good fighter and people are saying, he’s the next big thing, but everyone who’s bought him has come in with the same game plan said the unbeaten sharp.
He is wary of me because i’m so unorthodox and i would cause him problems.
Other people are running away from him, but i’m feeling, but i’m heading directly at him.
I want that fight, but i need to get myself into the mandatory position with a wbo, and so i have to be in good fights.
If i have to wait for stevenson, then get me someone who’s at the world level.
This is a crucial time for me, because i need to keep my number one ranking with the wbo and i can’t afford to lose that spot sharp says.
Wbc champ valdez runs the risk of playing straight into stevenson hands on saturday night i mentioned to see how stevenson deals with the pressure.
If that’s the way, valdez fights added sharp.
He knows he can’t rush stevenson because he’s such a good out he’s a good counterpuncher.
I believe stephen civil will win, but it’s going to be interesting if that dell does turns into a dogfight i’m completely different fighter to valdez.
So my tactically stevenson wouldn’t be to do that, and valdez must know that if you stand still in front of him, he will pick you off.
Sharp has also mentioned the possibility of taking on fellow pro bell fighter, oshaki foster, who won a wbc eliminator in dubai.
