Boxing in Wales is mainly in the larger cities in the south though, recently, a few prospects from the north have emerged like Sion Yaxley and Gerome Warburton.
28-year-old Osian Williams (1-0), is from the market town of Conwy, which has its own ancient castle. Though he has a Mancunian (English) accent, he’s a fluent Welsh speaker.
He trains at Dyffryn in Colwyn Bay, North Wales.
‘Osh’ is an orthodox boxer in the super-lightweight division.
I got into boxing when I was around 12-years-old. I got into a tear-up in school and took a bit of a pasting if Iām honest, so, my dad got me into a boxing gym, the following week and from there I was hooked!
I started in a gym called Palace ABC, as it was known back then, later on, it became Sparta ABC, it was run by ex-serviceman Jack Baker.
I had around 25 amateur fights, most of them out of Oliverās gym in Salford, Manchester, where I only lost two fights. I also had four unlicensed bouts – winning them all.
My favourite fighters were Roberto Duran, Johnny Tapia, Salvador Sanchez, Diego Corrales and Michael Gomez. Anyone who came to have a tear-up!
I turned professional because I owed it to myself, Iāve done this my whole life and it was now or never. Iām a great fighter, Iāve proved it in the past and now itās time to prove it on the big stage, as a professional.
Iām managed by ex-boxer Kieran Farrell from Manchester. Iām trained by Wez Jones at Dyffryn in Colwyn Bay, North Wales.
I love every part of the training, to be honest, it’s a great crack in the gym. Iām a gym rat, always in there. You have to make the most of your boxing career, as itās not a long one and you have to be ready in case the phone rings. The big opportunity, one day, will come up and Iāll be ready, I enjoy training, all aspects, Iām living my dream.
Iām not full time. Iād love to be but, unfortunately, as most professional fighters will tell you. I have a full-time job, Iām an estate agent
Iām a come forward, aggressive fighter and thatās how I love to fight. I come to entertain and put everything on the line!
I loved my debut. Enjoyed every second of it, a dream come true on a great show.
I felt it was a dominant, controlled performance but plenty more to come.
Iād love to be as busy as I can. At the same time, I need to be realistic in terms of fights in a calendar year. Iād like six minimum – nine fights would be great!
My next fight is March the 14th in Bolton, England on Kieran Farrellās ‘Rolling the Dice’ show. Opponent to be announced, no predictions just the win, thatās what counts. If the knockout comes – great! Iāll take the opportunity if it presents itself.
My ambitions are to keep dropping the weight eventually Iāll be a lightweight. Iād love to pick up the Welsh title and kick on from there, Gavin Gwynne (12-1) is a prime example of what you can do.
If anyone wants tickets please message me as they are going fast! Facebook and Instagram. Iāll drop them off or post them, no problem.
