Williamson returns on May 6!

Press Release: DaVarryl Williamson (22-4, 18 KOs) will face Chicago heavyweight Mike Mollo (15-0, 9 KOs) at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts on May 6, 2006. Promoter Don King announced the bout, as well as the fact that he has signed Mollo to a promotional contractt.  Under the guidance of veteran trainer Al Bonanni, Mollo has been training at King's private compound in northeast Ohio.  "Al has me chopping wood, hitting rubber tires with a sledge hammer and doing plenty of work with the medicine ball," Mollo said of Bonanni's regimen.  "He calls it Old School. I call it hard work. There's nothing to do out here in Amish country but train so I am 100% focused."  It will be a do-or-die fight for the 6'4" Williamson, who has fought a number of high profile fights and most recently dropped a twelve-round decision to Chris Byrd for Byrd's IBF heavyweight title.
