Thread: Danny Williams vs Oleg Platov on saturday...

Oleg Platov will defend his IBF Intercontinental heavyweight title against Danny Williams on the Abraham-Elcock undercard in Basle on Saturday night. The hard-hitting Ukrainian (26-1, 22 KOs) won the belt from former WBO heavyweight champion Henry Akinwande in November 2006 when he clinched a split decision. He is now eager to prove his class again against another experienced and highly-respected veteran. "Danny Williams is a very strong opponent," 24-year-old Platov said. "I watched his fights against Mike Tyson and Vitali Klitschko. It tells you something about his class. He is very dangerous."

Just a small personal anecdote: Never seen Platov fight either, but went to an Asikainen-card in Helsinki, Finland (where I currently live) in October, and was pleased to see that he was on the undercard. However his opponent, out of Tanzania I think, managed to dissappear completely after the (same day) weigh in, and therefore Platov never actually appeared in the ring. Shame.
