Austin Williams and Chordale Booker will dispute the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) Continental middleweight belt next Saturday during the main event that will feature Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano at Madison Square Garden, New York.
The opportunity comes for both boxers at a great time and in an ideal arena to make themselves known to the world. Both fighters have a lot of experience and are looking to make a breakthrough, and a win would help them a lot in their goal.
Williams is younger. The Milwaukee native is 25 years old and has good knockout power, a tool he will try to impose on the ring.
Booker has a little more experience in terms of number of fights and is 30 years old. Although his knockout percentage is lower than his opponent’s, he also has power and wants to take advantage of his experience.
Both fighters are southpaws, which will make the fight a nice clash. Williams has 10 wins and 8 knockouts, while Booker has 17 wins and 7 knockouts.
