Big Danny Williams was in Hameln, Germany, this weekend and was all set to take Gueney Artak for the GBA version of the International German heavyweight title.

Williams weighed in and everything seemed to be fine during fight day as well - or so it seemed.

However, with Artak and the referee waiting in the ring - Williams refused to go through with the fight. He was complaining of headaches and left the crowd of about 1,000 without a main event.

In what became the main event, Granit Stein won the WBU light heavyweight title with a win over Wilmer Gonzales.

In Helsinki, super bantamweight Jose Antonio Lopez Romero (12-0-1) tuned up for bigger fights during 2020 with a six round points win over Dmytro Kostenko.

Lopez Romero, from Spain but based in Finland since a few years, is along with Jason Cunningham co-challengers for the vacant EU 122 lb title. The EBU have set January 9 as deadline for purse bids or agreements.
