Middleweight destiny beckons and beacons “Charlie” and “Jules”

Interim WBC Middleweight Champion Carlos Adames will face former champion Julian “J-Rock” Williams in the 12-round main event of action live on SHOWTIME Saturday, June 24 from The Armory in Minneapolis in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Adames (22-1, 17 KOs) has become a force in the middleweight division and is ready to face the top names on the 160 Division. Adames scored a career-best victory by overcoming top contender Sergiy Derevyanchenko in December 2021 and followed that up by knocking out Juan Macias Montiel in the third round to capture his interim belt last October.

Philadelphia’s Williams (29-3-1, 16 KOs) became a unified world champion at 154-pounds in May 2019 when he upset Jarrett Hurd in one of the year’s best fights, winning a close-quarters brawl by unanimous decision.

He most recently returned to his winning ways last November, dominating Rolando Mansilla at The Armory on his way to a unanimous decision.

Today both contenders presented at the official weigh-in, claiming to be ready for this very important match.

Adames: 159.5 Lbs.

Williams: 159.3 Lbs.
