McCall and Williamson Open “Struggle For Supremacy.”

Before the heavyweight championship action begins this Saturday night at Madison Square Gardens, fight fans will be treated to an intriguing scrap between former heavyweight champion Oliver McCall and hard-hitting contender Davarryl Williamson. McCall became the WBC heavyweight champion by knocking out Lennox Lewis in two rounds back in the nineties but subsequently lost the title in a subdued effort against Frank Bruno. McCall’s misdemeanours inside and outside of the ring have been well documented. As a habitual drug user, McCall furnished boxing history with one of its most bizarre moments when he seemed to suffer a mental breakdown in the ring in the Lewis rematch, in tears, he was led from the ring a tattered shell. But you do not get the nickname ‘The Atomic Bull’ for nothing. McCall has a granite chin and fists to match that notably helped him to KO Henry Akinwande in a 2001 comeback fight. Williamson is looking to ride the momentum he gained whilst knocking down Wladimir Klitschko before losing the fight on a technical decision when Klitschko was cut. That was only a little over a month ago, This is a crossroads fight that should be entertaining while it lasts. Williamson is not known to have great punch resistance and if McCall can get to him he might have himself an early night.
