From sportinglife.com:

Danny Williams knocked out Mike Tyson in round four of a heavyweight fight in Louisville.

Danny Williams was first into the ring for his clash with Mike Tyson at Louisville's Freedom Hall.

There were no obvious signs of nerves on the face of Williams who warmed up while his opponent was introduced.

Tyson was given a rapturous welcome by a near sell-out 17,000 crowd and prowled about in his trademark all-black shorts as announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr made the introductions.

Williams' immediate goal was to avoid a fast first round exit - a fate which had befallen almost half of Tyson's previous 50 victims including the last - Clifford Etienne - who hung around for 49 seconds last year.

Williams threw first with a left that missed and was unfazed when Tyson bullied him back into a corner to trade.

The underdog managed to land a good right-hand before getting out of danger and attempting to get to the centre of the ring.

But Tyson landed a crashing four-punch combination which ended with a left hook which wobbled Williams.

The Briton did brilliantly to hold on under more Tyson pressure with Tyson almost entirely reliant on crashing left uppercuts.

Williams wobbled his way back to the corner at the end of the first round but he had already exceeded many expectations.

That was not enough for Williams who went on the attack early in the second and landed a superb straight left which briefly stopped Tyson in his tracks.

As the crowd roared their approval Williams then came off equal again following a frantic exchange with his back against the corner post.
