“He’s a Complete Weirdo”- Liam Williams Verbally Smashes Demetrius Andrade
Following a seven-fight win streak, Liam Williams ‘The Machine’ will challenge Demetrius Andrade for the WBO middleweight title on April 17th. In an intense post-fight ceremony of Estrada vs Chocolatito 2, the middleweight scarp received its official confirmation.
Meanwhile, Williams has already taken verbal shots at his champion rival. Despite Andrade’s impeccable run of 29 wins, Williams doesn’t seem intimidated by the idea of facing him. Moreover, he has vowed to smash ‘Boo Boo’, intensifying their feud further.
Speaking with Boxing Scene, Liam Williams opened up with his thoughts on Demetrius Andrade. As the fight date comes closer, Williams reflected on his game plan and spat some venomous statements.
“I’ve been quite vocal saying I’ll smash him, and I actually am going to. I’ve waited for this for too long now, I’m not going to let it slip through my fingers, I’ll grab the opportunity with both hands,” said ‘The Machine’.

Liam Williams vs Demetrius Andrade will be a fight feast for the fans
While Williams also claimed of being Andrade’s fan in the past, he surely doesn’t feel the same anymore. With an official date on his calendar, ‘The Machine’ is gearing up for a high-voltage title shot. Furthermore, he is doing everything to get under his opponent’s skin.
The Brit said, “I just think he’s a complete weirdo, a very strange man – I’ve watched him for some time, I used to be a bit of a fan of him back then, now I get the chance to share a ring with him and punch his face in and I can’t wait to do it.
“I’m going to punch lumps out of him, nonstop. The first couple of rounds could be tricky, but I believe that I will get on top of him and start beating him up.”

Despite Smith’s confidence, Andrade will be the favorite on paper as he’s been a 2-division champion with 29 wins (18 KO’s)
So, ‘Boo Boo’ will clearly have an upper hand and Smith doesn’t mind being the underdog. While he respects Andrade’s achievements, he will not let them shake his will to win.
‘The Machine’ continued, “I think he (Andrade) might overlook me, possibly. To be honest, maybe he has deserved to get a fight with Canelo, GGG, he’s been World champion for a long time, a 2-weight and 3-time champion, so he’s probably deserved those fights, but his time is up now and once I deal with him, I’ll get those fights.”
There’s no denying the upcoming middleweight thriller will allure the entire combat community. It will also be an important fight for the division, paving the way for several blockbusters matchups in the future. So, fight fans cannot afford to miss the clash.
