Williams-Conquest January 13th British Title Clash - Tickets On Sale Today PhilBoxing.com Sat, 03 Dec 2011 Tickets for the highly anticipated British Cruiserweight title clash between Leon ?Solid? Williams and Tony ?Conqueror? Conquest, which takes place at York Hall in London on Friday 13th January 2012, and broadcast live and exclusive on BoxNation (Sky 456 & Virgin 546), go on sale today on the TKO Box Office website www.tkoboxoffice.com Francis and George Warren?s Queensberry Promotions organisation really have pulled out all the stops to ensure their first event of 2012 is an explosive, all action, extravaganza. The headlining Williams-Conquest perfectly sets the scene, these two are without doubt the two best, most exciting and all action Cruiserweights in the country today an the contrast in their styles guarantees a true Battle Royale on the 13th. Streatham?s Williams, who will be making the first defense of the title he wrestled off long time British and Commonwealth Champion Rob Norton back in October, is a no nonsense come forward power puncher right out of the ?Iron? Mike Tyson mould, something Tony Conquest can readily attest to - Williams knocked him out in just 45 seconds when they fought previously as amateurs. Williams bought that power and knockout reputation with him upon turning pro. His debut bout didn?t even go one round, as Williams dropped Bobby Scott with the very first punch he threw, a violent left hook! Prior to the Norton title showdown Williams stopped both his previous opponents, on his defense of the Southern Area title, in May this year, Williams knocked Danny Couzens out cold after just thirty seconds of the fourth round. Williams followed that with a sensational fifth round stoppage of Battersea?s fighting fireman Nick ?The Ox? Okoth in September. Conquest on the other hand is a fast handed stylish boxer whose fights normally go the distance. His only stoppage to date came in March this year, when he stopped Ghana?s Prince George Akrong in the first minute of the sixth round. Conquest earned the right to challenge Williams for the coveted Lonsdale belt with a superb victory over Toks Owoh in November to lift the Southern Area strap Williams had vacated just a few weeks earlier. Throughout the fight Conquest plain out boxed the former Super Middleweight supremo. Right from the opening bell and for ten rounds Conquest worked at a high pace, peppering Owoh non stop with shot after shot for every minute of every round to earn the win by a shut out 99-91 points margin. The Warren brothers have put together a seriously top class support card for Williams-Conquest, headed by an almighty heavyweight clash between Larry ?The War Machine? Olabamiwo and former Commonwealth Champion Sam Sexton, which without doubt will be yet another highly volatile affair. Also on the card are Williams? TRAD TKO Gym mates ?Saint? George Jupp and Charlie Hoy as well as the highly popular Stetson wearing John Wayne Hibbert, sensational unbeaten Welterweight prospect ?Super? Bradley Skeete, Daryl Williams and John Dignam, all against yet to be named opponents. Leon ?Solid? Williams Versus Tony ?Conqueror?
