Danny Williams has pulled out of his British heavyweight challenge against Scott Gammer, scheduled for the Afan Lido, Port Talbot on 13 October.

Former holder Williams, a Muslim, has withdrawn because the date coincides with Ramadan, claiming that he would not be in a fit condition to box.

The show will go ahead, with London's Micky Steeds replacing Williams.

Promoter Paul Boyce still hopes to stage a fight between Gammer and Williams at a later date.

Gammer, 29, who claimed the vacant crown when he halted former victim Mark Krence at Carmarthen Showground in June.

Southern Area champion Steeds, a 22-year-old prospect from the Isle of Dogs, dropped a six-round points decision to Gammer in Brighton 18 months ago, but that remains his only loss in nine fights.

Gammer has 16 wins (9 KOs) and one draw to his name since turning professional in 2002.


I really don't see how he could be in any worse shape than his last 3 or 4 efforts

Not fit? When has that stopped him?

One of the lads at my boxing club was fasting when he had his 2nd or 3rd bout... all he'd be doing was drinking water... I think because of praying or something he had hardly slept, one if but he was practicly dead after wards... looked like he'd been 12 rounds, not 3 :P

glad he got it though, nice lad

Yeah you would think if he was such a great muslim he would have known well in advance.

I mean I don't even go to church but if someone wanted to book a fight on Dec 25 I would know straight away that it was Christmas Day.

Danny seems to be just as much a fraud as a muslim as he is as a boxer
