Nicknamed "The Truth", Carl is best known for having fought and lost to Mike Tyson in a battle for the unified heavyweight championship. The first round knockout loss to Tyson in 1989 was a devastating defeat, having come about without Williams having landed a punch in the fight. Williams immediately launched a mild protest to the official and ringside jodges but to no avail. He believed that the fight was stopped too early and was not given more of an opportunity to deomstrate to the official that he was not disoriented after the knock-down. In a post fight in-ring interview, Williams appeared to be uninjured, spoke clearly, and expressed his disappointment that he was not given the opportunity to "show my stuff." Williams also called for a re-match, however this never occurred. After the defeat to Tyson, Williams became a journeyman heavyweight. His other notable fights with include losses to Larry Holmes, Jesse Ferguson, Tim Witherspoon, Tommy Morrison, and Frank Bruno and wins against Bert Cooper and Trevor Berbick. Williams retired in 1997 with a professional record of 30-10-0 with 21 knockouts.Presented here is a signed and inscribed photo of Williams.
