Sonny Bill Williams’ next boxing opponent has done ‘zero training in the last few years’

SONNY BILL WILLIAMS will step into the boxing ring for the seventh time as a professional on 31 January but once again, it doesn’t look like his opponent is in the prime of his career.

American Chauncy Welliver will square off against Williams in Sydney next month, and by his own admission, he has done almost no training for his last few fights.

“I’ve taken a few fights this past year with little to no training,” Welliver said to fightnews.com.

Williams’ last fight was against former world title challenger Francois Botha and although SBW was victorious, many thought he was unconvincing.

Welliver shares that view.

Welliver, who has weighed in at over 21st for some of his recent bouts, says he is ’1000%’ confident of victory.

Here are the two challengers in action.
