WILLIAMS WANTS ANOTHER MIRACLE
Danny Williams has earned the chance to pull off another boxing miracle after landing a world heavyweight title shot.
Williams - who stunned Mike Tyson in Louisville in July - will meet WBC king Vitali Klitschko in America in December.
The Brixton man is relishing the chance to prove his win over 'Iron Mike' was no fluke.
But champion Klitschko is determined to make Williams pay for messing up his own dream date with Tyson.
Klitschko said: "It was always my dream to fight Mike Tyson but now Danny has destroyed that dream with a great performance and I know this will be a very tough fight for me.
"It is much easier to win the title than to defend it. I am sure this will be a great and thrilling bout."
Klitschko claimed the vacant title by stopping Corrie Sanders in April having previously suffered a controversial cuts loss to Lennox Lewis.
As the true champion he is regarded as the man to beat and Williams immediately set his sights on the Ukrainian after gatecrashing the world elite.
Williams said: "This is my reward for beating Tyson.
"After nearly 10 years as a professional I have finally got my chance at a world title and I am going there totally focused on bringing the crown back to Britain.
"Without a doubt Klitschko is the best in the division and it will be a hard fight but I destroyed the myth of Tyson and I will do the same again."
The date and venue for the fight are set to be announced next week, with New York's Madison Square Garden the favourite.
Williams could still appear on an October 9 bill at ExCel in London's Docklands.
Williams had been due to contest the WBU heavyweight crown against Oleg Maskaev.
He is now expected to take on a less risky warm-up bout, with the rest of the bill going ahead as planned.
