Jeremy Williams (born August 19, 1972, Fort Dodge, Iowa) is a professional boxer and mixed martial artist.

Professional Boxing Career

He has won the WBC Continental Americas Heavyweight Title twice. He is known as a knockout artist, with two of his 35 knockouts coming before 30 seconds of the first round -- he KOed Arthur Weathers in 10 seconds on March 19, 1996 (the fastest KO in California boxing history) and KOed Louis Monaco 28 seconds into their second meeting on March 17, 2002 (Williams had knocked Monaco out in 3 rounds 6 years earilier). Williams always seemed to be on the cusp of attaining greatness, but his only challenge was for a minor title. That challenge was for the lightly regarded IBC heavyweight crown. In that bout Williams lost via tko to Denmark's Brian Nielsen. While on the rise as a young pro, Williams lost his first fight via majority decision to Larry Donald. After the loss to Donald, Williams reeled off another streak of knockouts, only to get KO'd by Henry Akinwande. Williams again began a new streak of KO victories until he again was defeated by decision by perennial spoiler Maurice Harris. Williams last run towards a title shot ended when he went up against power punching Sam Peter, who ended Williams night, and career, quickly with a vicious KO in the second round. In 2003, he upset heavyweight prospect Andre Purlette by decision.

Williams also competed Cedric Kushner's Thunderbox Heavyweight Tournament, "Fistful of Dollars", but lost.
