However, the undefeated prospect fought through the injury and secured the unanimous decision victory. Judges Mark Consentino, John Pturaj, and Justin Rubenstein all had Williams in the lead. The referee was Shawn Clrk. Williams, the "2019 Rookie of the Year" Briscoe Award winner, improved to 8-0, with 5 KOs. Johns lost for the second time and slid to 4-2, 3 KOs.
