(Uncasville, CT) – Looking for something to wager on?
Tonight, Saturday, August 1st 2020 Showtime presents the undefeated Tramaine “The Mighty Midget” Williams, sponsored by
GamblingSiteFinder.com, against the undefeated super bantamweight Angelo Leo after Stephen Fulton was ruled out for testing positive for COVID-19.
When: AUG 1st, 2020 At 9PM ETWhere: Showtime (30-Day Free Trial, $10.99/month)The 27-year-old Williams (19-0, 6 KOs, 1 NC) replaced Fulton as Angelo Leo’s opponent Wednesday night. Fulton (18-0, 8 KOs) tested positive for COVID-19 earlier Wednesday.
Showtime will televise Leo-Williams as the main event of a tripleheader Saturday night from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT). Williams was supposed to face Ra’eese Aleem (16-0, 10 KOs), who now will meet Marcus Bates (11-1-1, 8 KOs) in the co-feature, a 12-round, 122-pound rematch.
“Opportunities come far and few between, and when they come knocking you’ve gotta open the door,” Williams said. “You’ve gotta be ready for ‘em, be ready to take the risk, jump in face-first.”
The 26-year-old Leo (19-0, 9 KOs), of Albuquerque, New Mexico, is ranked second by the WBO in the 122-pound division. Williams is ranked sixth by the WBO.
“I know he’s trying to win a world title,” Williams said. “He’s a talented fighter, 19-0, beat a couple decent fighters. So, it’s not gonna be a cakewalk. I’m ready for him.”
The skillful southpaw from New Haven, Connecticut, considers Leo, who is promoted by Floyd Mayweather, more of a threat than Las Vegas’ Aleem.
“He’s a sharp fighter,” Williams said. “He’s gonna be in shape. He’s gonna be ready to come in to fight, throws decent body shots. We’re just gonna take that away.”
Williams isn’t the least bit uneasy now that he has been thrust into a title fight so suddenly.
“I’ve been preparing for this my whole life, so it’s regular for me,” Williams said. “I’ve been here since I was 9, 10 years old. So, the last 24 hours is actually what I’ve been preparing for my whole life, or two-thirds of my life.”
