Danny Williams (born July 13, 1973, London, United Kingdom) is a British professional heavyweight boxer. William's trainer is Jimmy McDonnell and his manager is Frank Warren, who is arguably one of Europe's most important boxing managers. On July 31, 2004, in Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky, U.S., Williams knocked out Mike Tyson in the fourth round.
During this time Danny Williams, was part of an angle that nearly got out of hand, in British professional wrestling promotion Frontier Wrestling Alliance which started when FWA star and company head, Alex Shane, informed the crowd that Danny's agent had banned him from taking part in any sort of wrestling angle in the company, Alex Shane then claimed he was going to grab as much publicity as he can and began to insult Danny and his entourage, Williams genuinely appeared to lose his cool when, as he walked away, Shane called him "gay boy" and spat at his teenage brother-in-law, inciting a pull-apart brawl. The fracus, that nearly ended up in disaster at the FWA show made it to the Daily Mirror newspaper and national news programmes.
On December 11, 2004, he lost to WBC world Heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko for the title, by an eighth round knockout.
