In his last two fights, the Minnesotan scored unanimous decision wins over the tough and durable Matt Vanda and, this past June, veteran Jonathan Reid, against whom he captured the NABA Middleweight Championship. He will also be fighting a southpaw such as he is one who has reeled off a string of eight consecutive victories since his first and only loss in 2006. In facing Kolle at middleweight, Williams, a 6-2, Aiken, South Carolina native, will be fighting at his walking-around weight of 160 pounds for the first time since 2001.

I love the support and I’ll give it back to them by entertaining them.” I plan to excite the crowd so it’s worth paying money to watch me. My fans deserve to see action fights and that’s what I’ll give them, no matter what weight class I’m fighting in. If I have to, I’ll move up to 154 pounds all the way to 168 pounds.

“That’s pretty much my walking around weight, but I’m most comfortable at 147 pounds. “I feel good at 158 pounds,” stated Williams. Williams, who is moving up in weight for this fight prior to moving back down for a November defense of his WBO Welterweight title, providing he has a victory in September, declared that this bout at middleweight reflects his earlier commitment that he is willing to fight anyone up to 168 pounds while still intent on defending his welterweight championship. In the scheduled 12-round co-featured bout, undefeated and world-ranked heavyweight Cristobal “The Nightmare” Arreola (24-0, 21 KOs) will take the next step toward his goal of becoming the first Heavyweight World Champion of Mexican descent in over 100-years of prizefighting by making a defense of his WBC Continental Americas Championship against the once-beaten Puerto Rican challenger, Israel Carlos “King Kong” Garcia (19-1, 11 KOs) on the Goossen Tutor Promotions event. The fight will air live on VERUS, a national sports network in more than 73 million homes at 9 P.M. On Thursday, September 25, WBO Welterweight Champion Paul “The Punisher” Williams (34-1, 25 KOs) will back up his claim of accepting every conceivable challenge between 147 pounds and 168 pounds, when he moves up to the middleweight division (160 pounds) to take on tough, hard-hitting middleweight, Andy Kolle (17-1, 12 KOs), in a non-title 10-round bout at the Soboba Casino in San Jacinto, California. Los Angeles, CA (September 3, 2008) – There is an old axiom in boxing: “Don’t talk the talk if you can’t walk the walk.” UNBEATEN WORLD-RATED HEAVYWEIGHT CONTENDER PAUL ‘THE PUNISHER’ WILLIAMS FIGHTS LIVE ON VERSUS
