Danny Williams will be knocked out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1380\" data-end=\"1639\">That\u2019s Ike. The same Ike who once ruined Chris Byrd\u2019s day and nearly killed David Tua in the ring. The same Ike who then nuked his career, disappeared into a legal black hole, and emerged with nothing but muscle memory and a thirst for one last bloody encore.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1641\" data-end=\"1694\">But hey\u2014Danny Williams is here to help him with that.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1698\" data-end=\"1958\">\u201cIke Ibeabuchi is a legend, and I know he\u2019ll be coming to fight. But The President will not be returning on my timeline. I will come to his hometown, drop the hammer on Ike \u2018The President\u2019 Ibeabuchi and send him back into exile. That will become a fact, mate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1960\" data-end=\"2226\">Bold from a man who\u2019s fought more club shows than Tyson Fury\u2019s dad has hot takes. Williams hasn\u2019t been relevant since he iced Tyson in 2004\u2014and he\u2019s spent the years since collecting losses like parking tickets.

No scorecards. Just two relics swinging sledgehammers with the coordination of a drunk bear on stilts.
