AMMO: ADAMES FIGHT WILL BE EXPLOSIVE PhilBoxing.com Fri, 20 Mar 2026  Middleweight contender planning to leave everything in the ring in WBC World title showdown Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams has promised to leave everything in the ring as he challenges Carlos Adames for the WBC World Middleweight title on Saturday night at Caribe Royale in Orlando, live worldwide on DAZN. Williams (20-1 13 KOs) was due to meet the champion in New York in January at Madison Square Garden in New York on the undercard of Shakur Stevenson’s battle with Teofimo Lopez, but Adames was forced to pull out of the fight ahead of the weigh-in through illness, while Williams still boxed on the bill, and claimed a ten round win over Wendy Toussaint. Ammo now gets the World title fight he was robbed of due to the unfortunate illness for the champion and will look to build upon his momentum to gain victory in the biggest fight of his career to date. The 29 year old has won four on the bounce over a 14-month stretch, elevating him to #3 in the WBC rankings ahead of his big night, and believes the clash will be action-packed in the Sunshine State. “The technical side will be something that people can appreciate down the line,” said Williams. “How explosive and action-packed this fight will be the main focus for a long time. Everything you can imagine that cuts with action; if that’s blood, cuts, guts, KOs, explosive energy, whatever comes to your mind when you think about an action-packed fight, that’s what it’s going to be. “I knew something was wrong in New York. They had a bunch of fighters coming to do tests and I didn’t see Adames in the room, as soon as I got off the scales, Eddie was right there waiting and I things like that don’t happen unless there’s some news. “At the end of the day it was still a move from his team to get that extra time and preparation. They got to watch me fight, but there’s advantages and disadvantages from both sides. This is my show now at the end of the day and the fight is bigger now, it’s all worked out and I can only be grateful. “We were at the press conference and did a face-off, I looked at him and I thought he was a certain type of person, he turned away and shouted ‘that work, easy work’. And I thought, ‘oh, you don’t really understand what I am here for then’.”  |
