I expected Williams to pull out and that Sexton would face Chisora. I didn't (don't) think that Danny's heart is really in it anymore. It will be interesting to see if he is willing to face Chisora at short notice.

Ya but you could always put him in and then say he hasn't recovered in time, so he has to pull out.

This is getting a bit silly now, it has now been a year since the British Heavyweight title was defended. Why not bring Chisora in, if Williams pulls out, strip him of the title, let Chisora fight Skelton or Sprott or someone for the vacant belt, the winner fights Fury/McDermott, the winner of that fights Sexton. Sorted.

I agree. Kell Brook won the vacant WW title in those circumstances. Keep the domestic belts active

I'd be more concerned with getting the best British fighters holding the British title, rather than keeping the titles active.

In this instance I agree though.... Williams probably isn't a top 10 heavyweight right now, the days of him beating Tyson or winning with one arm are well and truly over.

Sam Sexton has pulled out of his bid for the British heavyweight title against Danny Williams.

The 25-year-old from Norwich is currently attending his mother's bedside at Addenbrooke's Hospital after she suffered a brain aneurysm.

His management team released a statement on Sunday.

"Sam has been unable to continue his training for the past week and for the foreseeable future until his mother is out of danger," it read.

"After extensive discussion with his trainer it was decided that Sam was not in a fit state of mind for any fight, let alone a championship fight."

Derek Chisora will step in to face Williams at Upton Park on the undercard of Kevin Mitchell's Interim WBO World lightweight title fight with Michael Katsidis.

The 25-year-old said he had sympathy for Sexton who he beat in June 2008, the Commonwealth champion's only professional defeat.

"First of all my thoughts are with Sam and his family at this time and I hope his mother makes a full recovery.

"The opportunity to fight Williams again was presented to me and I took the fight straight away," he said.
