When speaking to DAZN, Williams didn’t hold back on his prediction: “Brutal knockout, it will be a brutal knockout.”

He added: “I’m going to take the risks in this fight, I’m going to show my strengths. I know Hamzah hasn’t seen anyone like me, he hasn’t seen anyone who is going to stand up to him and push the fight, push him back, he hasn’t seen that.”
“I’m excited to show that, I’m excited to show my gas tank, I’m excited to show everything that I’ve worked on my whole career, and it will be a brutal, devastating knockout.”
