Boxing: Williams calls for action over ring controversy.

Byline: BY MARK STANIFORTH

DANNY WILLIAMS will urge the British Boxing Board of Control to take action over the controversial circumstances surrounding his victory over Konstantin Airich in Bilbao on Friday night.

Williams scored a dramatic seventh-round stoppage success despite being knocked down three times and having at least three points deducted by Spanish referee Alfredo Garcia Perez for unclear offences.

Williams recovered and had Germany's Airich in trouble in the sixth only for the bell to ring prematurely.

Television replays clearly showed the round ended over 90 seconds early, implying outside interference.

Williams said: "It was incredible. There were rounds ending early and I lost count of the number of points I had taken away. I knew I had absolutely no chance of winning the fight unless I stopped the guy."

In the latest chapter of his remarkable career, Williams, who famously knocked out Mike Tyson in 2004, did just that, piling on the pressure until the towel came in from the Airich corner.

Williams added: "I've got to urge the British Board of Control to put in a complaint because things have got to change."
