By Queensberry Promotions

Williams v Smyle

Super-Middleweight rivals Darryll Williams and Jahmaine Smyle will clash in a must see rematch on July 8

Darryll Williams claims he should never have defeated bitter rival Jahmaine Smyle in their first fight. He beat the Leicester man on points in April to capture the English Super-Middleweight title and they clash again at London’s Copper Box Arena on July 8, live on BT Sport and BoxNation. Despite serving up a Fight of the Year contender, Williams insists he shouldn’t have been in the ring that night let alone being victorious after ten action packed rounds, Williams, 27, said: “I’m not taking anything away from Jahmaine, but to be honest the camp I had was probably the worst I’ve had as a boxer. “I was feeling really rough the week of the fight, and sometimes I think, ’How did Jahmaine lose?’ “I am quiet surprised it went the way it did, but I’m a guy who cannot pull out. I would rather go out on my shield. “I never told anyone, but I was in a terrible way before. I had an ear infection and I was in a bad, bad way.” Unbeaten Williams insists that Smyle is in for an even tougher time next month, warning: “He hasn’t seen anything. “If I did that in that condition he hasn’t got as clue what is coming to him in July. “I don’t mind the immediate rematch because I won’t be ill like I was. Let’s see what he’s really made of.” Williams who is in Manchester training under Ricky Hatton added: “Ricky is very in-depth with what he says and we’ve gelled. Williams V Smyle 2 “He is more technical than he looks. He and Blain Younis are very good on the pads. “To me it doesn’t matter who I fight. I am just happy to go back in there again.” Tickets for Williams v Smyle 2 priced £40, £50, £100, £150 and £250 are available from: www.eventim.co.uk www.seetickets.com www.ticketmaster.co.uk
