Austin Williams Sees WBC Gold, Keeps Door Open For Hamzah Sheeraz Runback

“Didn’t want to finish Hamzah,” Williams said, revisiting Adames’ split-draw with Sheeraz (115-114, 118-110, 114-114). “Safety-first…duck-and-cover,” he added, insisting the champ could’ve “put the icing on the cake” late. Williams challenges Adames for the WBC middleweight belt Jan. 31 at MSG, chasing a Sheeraz rematch if he wins. He warned, “Go and really make that statement—don’t leave it to judges.”
