Liam Williams: Gary Corcoran couldn’t knock out a w*nk
Gary Corcoran and Liam Williams came face-to-face today for the first time ahead of their British and Commonwealth light middleweight title fight in Cardiff next month.
The first official press conference for the Boxnation event took place at the Ice Arena Wales in Cardiff, where the bout will be held, this afternoon, and ended with the two needing to be pulled apart.
The event was a heated affair and Wembley-Connaught challenger Corcoran [15(6)-0] claimed that he is not worried by the Welsh beltholder’s much-vaunted punching power, reasoning that “letās be honest, who has he fought?”
“Iāve fought better fighters than him.”
“Heās not a big puncher, heās an average puncher. Everyone seems to think heās Golovkin but nobody has tested him yet.”
“I canāt wait for the fight, he can hit this chin as much as he wants.”
“Iāll let him have a free crack at it as well.”
In response, Williams [14(9)-0-1] took aim at ‘The Hellraiser’ Corcoran’s own power, arguing that “you couldn’t knock out a w*nk, you’re sh*t.”
“Iām not bothered by what heās going to try and do.”
“If he comes to box Iām going to outbox him and he definitely doesnāt want to come and have a fight with me because heās going to get himself hurt.”
