  • Leon Williams (born 6 November 1983) is a British former professional boxer who competed from 2009 to 2012.
  • He held the British Cruiserweight title from 2011 to 2012. Williams won the Southern Area title in October 2010 with a points win over JJ Ojuederie.
  • This was followed, however, by a second round knockout by Richard Turba. Williams became British cruiserweight champion following his controversial defeat of Robert Norton on 21 October 2011.
  • Most observers had Norton comfortably winning the fight.
  • Williams lost the British title in January 2012 when he was stopped in the final round by Shane McPhilbin.
  • This time, Williams was well ahead on the cards and had dropped McPhilbin earlier in the fight, but a late barrage by McPhilbin saw the fight stopped. Williams fought Tony Conquest in July 2012 in an attempt to regain his Southern Area title.
