10 Craziest Boxing Press Conferences
8. Danny Williams Vs. Audley Harrison
Danny Williams is best known for his spectacular knockout win over an extremely over the hill Mike Tyson. Following the sensational win, Williams was rewarded with a championship match against Heavyweight Champion Vitali Klitschko - losing within eight rounds by TKO.
On his comeback trail Williams was matched up against domestic rival - and Olympic gold medalist - Audley Harrison. At the weigh-in for the match, Williams got a little too close for Harrison’s liking, prompting a shove from the Olympian, which escalated into a scuffle - with some woman screaming in the background for extra effect.
The high point of the fracas came after the actual altercation had calmed down. Williams - now dressed - stalked Harrison to the hotel lobby, where the much bigger man, still shirtless, hid behind the reception desk, while Williams leaned against the counter like a disgruntled guest trying to check in as the two calmly explained how they planned to cave the other man’s head in come fight night.
