Williams’ bout proves worth the wait as he reaches final

Cleary’s Gym heavyweight Lewis Williams cruised into the final of the CYP Championships with victory over Perth Green ABC fighter Steve Burr.

Williams showed no signs of fatigue despite having left Leamington at 6am for the 10am weigh-in in Bridlington and then enduring an eight-hour wait before taking to the ring in the 16th bout of the day.

Williams, 16, who was three years younger than Burr, towered over his opponent, using his power, reach and jab to gain a comfortable points success.
