Julian Williams returns on June 13 against Armen Ovespyan in Birmingham, Alabama PhilBoxing.com Tue, 09 Jun 2015 Philadelphia (June 8, 2015)--This Saturday, June 13 one of the hottest names in boxing will be back in action as undefeated Jr. Middleweight, Julian "J-Rock" Williams (19-0-1, 11 KO's) will take on Armen Ovespyan (14-4, 11 KO's) in a 10-round bout for the WBC Continental America's Jr. Middleweight title. The bout will take place in Birmingham, Alabama and be part of the Deontay Wilder - Eric Molina WBC Heavyweight title card that will be televised on Showtime Championship Boxing. Williams - Ovespyan will be shown live on Showtime Extreme. "I wanted a bigger fight but if the other top guys are not available," said Williams. "I can't just sit around and be inactive. I'm still improving. I still have to work on my craft. I still have to make money. So sitting around is not an option for me. At one time people had high hopes for Ovespyan. He's not a bum and I'm definitely not overlooking him."said the 25 year-old "At one point during camp I thought I was fighting Frank Galarza in Brooklyn so I was locked in. Then I thought it would be Jan Zaveck. Who is an ex world champion and took Keith Thurman the 12 round distance so I was still super focused. I've been told I will get a big fight in September maybe even a title shot, so there is no way I will have a let down against Ovespyan because if I don't win I won't get what I have been asking for. I haven't lost a round in 2 years since the Joachim Alcine fight and I want to continue to build on that and perfect my craft." Williams has earned the moniker, "Mr. Do It All" for his versatility in the ring. Williams has proven to be a master boxer and high quality banger when need be. Williams is currently ranked #8 by the WBC, #10 by the WBA and #10 by ESPN.com Williams of Philadelphia has been credited for willingness to take step up fights such as wins over former world champion Joachim Alcine (32-4) Orlando Lora (29-4-2), Freddy Hernandez (30-6), Michael Medina (26-4-2), Eliezer Gonzalez (14-0), Jamar Freeman (13-3-2) and Joey Hernandez (24-2-1). Williams was also dominating undefeated Hugo Centeno (19-0) before the fight was stopped due to a cut and ruled a no-contest.  |
