This is Julian Williams' fifth win since his lone defeat, a fifth-round knockout by Jermall Charlo in December 2016.

Julian Williams went toe-to-toe with the bigger, physically imposing Jarrett Hurd to sweep the International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Association super welterweight world titles.

Williams sent Hurd to the canvas for the first time in his career on the way to the victory in an action-packed bout in Fairfax, Virginia, not far from Hurd’s home turf in Maryland. One judge scored the bout 116-111 and two others saw it 115-112 for Williams, who improved to 27-1-1 with 17 knockouts. Williams pummelled Hurd again in the third before the champion began to assert himself in the middle rounds.Hurd was cut around right eye in the eighth but came back hard in the ninth as both pressed the action to the end.
