The promoter Eddie Hearn wants to position Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams for an opportunity for the title in the medium weight, but must win its headline against Patrice Volny this Saturday, March 15. Williams (17-1, 12 kos) and Volny (19-1, 13 kos) meet in the main event of 12 rounds in the Caribbean Royale in Orlando, Florida. The event will be shown Live in Dazn.

Hearn blames some of Williams’ less impressive performances for not having the ideal preparation. It has been “indifferent” in the camp and not completely “mentally” ready. His defeat by knockout at Hamzah Sheeraz last year could be what Hearn is talking. In that fight, the ammunition made Sheraz hurt early, but could not go for death. Losing to HYP work like Sheraz was disappointing because it was a very liveable fight if the ammunition had set foot in the accelerator.
Hearn vision
Volny, 35 years old, can hit and he has knocked out his last three opponents. If Williams cannot get it out of there, he could be at risk of being stopped for the second time. That would spoil Hearn’s plans to get an opportunity for the title, obviously, and could have to rethink his career goals for him.
“The problems of ammunition in the past were not that it was not good enough, it was that its preparation was not good enough. Sometimes, it has not mentally 100% there. Sometimes its camps have been a bit indifferent,” said Eddie Hearn to Dazn boxingSpeaking about the fight of Austin ‘Ammo’ against Patrice Volny this Saturday night in Orlando, Florida.
Williams, 28, has only lost once in his six -year career, but has not faced any murderer, except Sheraz, who is deeply defective. The other 17 boys that the ammunition has fought were not names of which most fans have never heard.
“This is one of the first times that has had a strong and decent camp. This is a hard fight. Volny is a big guy, and it is a serious medium weight, “said Hearn.” He is a good fighter. The history of Williams ammunition is quite incredible. I look back in his professional debut, and he was this young and excitable child. Then you pass through the list of everywhere where he is in cash and everything he has done. “
Volny’s threat
Volny is a really big guy. Standing next to the ammunition, it looked like a super medium weight. It is difficult to believe that tomorrow will make weight because it looks huge. Williams looked short and skinny to his side.
“The fact that he is still here after all those problems and problems he had, but you must make him count,” Hearn said about ammunition. “The stories are good, but if you rhythms you, there is only much you can do with a story. When you compare people with ammunition, it is a roller mountain ride. Let’s not make him twist to think that it is fine to lose. It is never good to lose, but you can certainly return from him. “
There is only much that a promoter can do, building a fighter when telling his life story. That doesn’t work with fans if the fighter does not win. They will not care what a fighter has happened in their lives to get where they are. If they don’t win, fans will not bother pay attention.
Forced fight
“The reality is that, in this sport, if you are not good enough, you will not win. That’s all. If you are not good enough, you can look in the mirror. As long as I gave everything, you can go again, “Hearn said.
“You have many quality fighters, but you have many fighters who do not have massive profiles looking for opportunities against good names in exciting fights,” said Hearn when asked about what possibilities there are for Austin Williams in the medium weight if he is victorious against Volny on Saturday.
“You have the OMB champion (Janibek Alimkhanuly). I think he will rise at some point (up to 168). You just saw (CMB champion) Carlos Adames beat Hamzah Sheeraz. She is a good fighter, but she didn’t surprise me. Then you have (Amb Erislandy champion) Lara. He is a great fighter, but he is continuing (41 years).
“Listen, we want to throw the dice for the World Medium Weight Championship with Williams ammunition, but must win on Saturday,” said Hearn.
