    Yes he's supposed to have made lots of money through real estate. This is why he was talking about retirement at such a young age around the second Martinez and Lara fights.

    I hope this is true, at least he will have the know how on how to make money in another area in life. Thi might be the key in overcoming his injury, as it will take his mind off boxing and potentially stop hi getting hung up on it

    A really sad story. I wasn't a huge fan of his before, but I am now

    All the best to Williams, what a warrior. Luckily, from what I've heard (I think it was Raphael and/or Raskin) Williams has done alright for himself financially too

    Having to drop boxing cold turkey when it's something you did 24/7 must suck too

    Yeah he's in denial but it's good he acknowledged he may (more like "will") not be able to walk again. Truth is, though, on opioids you can look forward to your grandmother's funeral as much as fishing on a boat or Christmas morning.
