Troy Williamson eyes repeat KO
Troy Williamson is confident he can KO Callum Simpson for a second and final time - thanks to his new herbal super power.
Williamson dropped his rival four times last December before stopping him to become British, Commonwealth and European super-middleweight champion. Williamson saw no need for a second fight but Simpson activated his rematch clause and the pair will cross paths again in Leeds on Saturday night.
And the Darlington man believes his new Tongkat Ali supplement - derived from an Asian plant - has given him added knockout strength.
"It's just not just my power; my drive, my focus, my energy have all improved," the ten percent athlete said. "But most importantly my strength has increased. The Tongkat Ali is the best supplement on the market. Obviously as a professional athlete, everything needs to be tested. But everything I take from Ten Percent Club is Informed-Sport tested, which is a bonus."
Williamson admits he was surprised when Simpson demanded a rematch - but is relishing the chance to repeat his last performance.
"I was surprised they asked for a rematch," he added. "But Callum's a fighter at the end of the day. His ego was damaged and he'll obviously want to try and get that revenge. I can see why he wants to fight again, but really, his team, his coach, his manager, even his promoter, should have told him it's time to move on. "They've made a bad decision activating the rematch because when I knock him out again, he's got going to be coming off two back-to-back knockout losses and that's going to be hard to come back from. I want to put it all to bed, put everything behind me and move on towards bigger and better things."
Troy Williamson was speaking on behalf of Ten Percent Club, one of the leading supplementation brands in professional sports. Ten Percent Club work with several professional footballers and athletes, including the likes of Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing.
