Heavyweight Sherman “Tank” Williams has been kicked out of the training camp of heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. According to Williams, Klitschko’s trainers had to intervene to prevent the champion from being punished by Williams’ bodywork during sparring. “Every shot I’ve hit him with was clean body shots,” Williams told AAP. “I’ve hit him with vicious liver shots and he’s bawling, claiming he’s getting hit on his nuts. At the moment, I think he’s ready to be beaten. He’s ready to be knocked out. If Alex [Leapai] is prepared physically and he’s mentally and spiritually together, the Aussies can have a new champion come next week.”
In other “Tank” news, Williams has pulled out of his bout with unbeaten New Zealand prospect Joseph Parker (7-0, 6 KOs), which was to be the co-feature on the Klitschko-Leapai undercard this Saturday in Oberhausen, Germany. The Parker camp isn’t happy about the late scratch considering all the trash talking Williams did in the build-up, but they have now lined up Marcelo Nascimento (17-5, 15 KOs) as a replacement.
