CareerAmateurIn an amateur career which he claims began at age nine, Williams says he won 44 out of 49 fights, gaining many awards in Britain and Europe. "I won seven Welsh titles at all age levels, including the 2011 Senior ABAs when I was just 18. I beat Warren Sinden, who’s now a pro, by a wide points margin in the 75KG final."[2] ProfessionalWilliams turned professional as a light middleweight in 2011. Aged 18, he won every round against the more experienced Ryan Clark[3] and won the vacant Commonwealth light middleweight title in November 2014 with a 2nd-round-stoppage win over Michael Lomax.[4] The following year, he added the vacant British national title by stopping Kris Carslaw in the second round of their bout at Manchester Arena.[5] He retained both titles in defeating a previously unbeaten Gary Corcoran at the Ice Arena Wales on 16 July 2016 with an 11th-round stoppage in what has been described as a gruesome grudge match.[6] Williams was controversially defeated by former WBO super-welterweight world champion Liam Smith on 8 April 2017 at the Manchester Arena. Owing to incorrect weight for the bout,[7] Smith was ineligible to inherit the interim WBO super-welterweight world title (held by Canelo Álvarez who is moving to a higher weight and expected to vacate the title).[8] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://boxrec.com/boxer/588275|title=BoxRec - Liam Williams|access-date=4 April 2017}} 2. ^{{cite news |first=Glynn |last=Evans |url=http://www.boxingnews24.com/2012/05/in-depth-with-liam-williams|title=In Depth With Liam Williams|publisher=boxingnews24.com|date=31 December 2014|accessdate=1 January 2015}} 3. ^McRae, Donald.
