Austin “Ammo” Williams is set for his next fight against Patrice Volny on March 15 at Caribe Royale Orlando in Orlando, Florida. The pair square off in the scheduled 12-round bout at middleweight. The event airs live on DAZN.
28-year-old Williams (17-1, 12 KOs) of Milwaukee, Wisconsin won his previous bout last November via fifth-round TKO against Gian Garrido. With the victory, the Houston, Texas-based southpaw bounced back from his first career defeat via 11th-round stoppage against Hamzah Sheeraz.
“Ten years ago, I was blessed with a dream, a dream that spelled out boxing in strobe lights,” Austin Williams said. “At that moment, I committed myself to existence through this medium. Every ounce of my focus and energy has been dedicated to achieving this goal. And here we are, announcing the premier of the ‘Ammo Show’.”
“The greatness I exude in my shows will serve as inspiration to the global community. The supernatural abilities displayed will allow the wanderer to wander. The viewer will be assured that the unbelievable is possible. March 15 marks the beginning of my life, the art I brought into this world is now ready to be displayed.”
Volny (19-1, 13 KOs) targets his fourth win in a row. In 2024, the Montreal, Quebec-based 35-year-old stopped Steven Butler and DeAndre Ware in the ninth and 10th round, respectively.
“This is a fight I specifically asked my team for,” Patrice Volny said. “I want to thank Matchroom for making it a reality. I believe it’s a great fight and a logical next step in my career to get where I want to be.”
“It’s a great opportunity for me, and on March 15, I intend on seizing that opportunity and showing that I belong at the top of the middleweight division. I will make him pay every second of this fight. Time to go to war.”
