This week on Texasfighter, I had the opportunity to have a one-on-one with Light Heavyweight Champion Antwon Williams. We, touched on different subjects regarding his past, present, and future.
RR: This fight was suppose to happen 5 months ago, but due to an accident, it was cancelled. How did you feel about getting your title match?
AW: I was excited. I was glad that they were going to have me in the match again.
RR: Now, you did have a fight between your accident and the title fight for TAMMA, how did you do?
AW: I won the Kansas Light Heavyweight title, 2 months after the accident.
RR: Fight Night, you walked into the lions den, the crowd really dug your intro. But, Michael Martinez tore the house down coming out to “Volver”, did the crowd affect you in any way?
AW: I was nervous before the fight, but I got through it. The crowd was excellent, it was more than what I thought it was going to be. I love San Antonio, can’t wait to fight there again.
RR: Your leg kicks were devasting in the fight, was it your game plan to stand up?
AW: The fight could have gone anyway, standing or ground, I had heard that Michael had a great stand up and could go the distance.
RR: You won the match by stoppage, how did you celebrate?
AW: I went and got a Cheeseburger from Burger King, I had not had one forever.
RR: Odell Pantin is the number 1 contender, but he is going to fight for the Heavyweight title first. Would you prefer a rematch with Michael or wait for Odell?
AW: I’ll fight whomever, I feel I have to defend the title once before I can call myself the champ, A rematch with Michael would be great, I think next time we go at it he’ll be a different fighter.
RR: Well, congratulations on your victory and I can’t wait to see you in San Antonio again.
AW: Thank you, hope to see you again.
