Heavyweight Jeremy Williams (19-1, 16 knockouts), on the comeback trail after a loss to Larry Donald, seeks his fifth consecutive victory tonight when he fights Everton Davis (9-4, 7 KOs) in a 12-round bout at the Grand Olympic Auditorium.

The five-fight card will begin at 7.

Williams, of Long Beach, appears to have shaken the affects of his loss to Donald in his 16th fight. He has since changed management teams and has knocked out Andrew Stokes, Bert Cooper, Mark Wills and Levi Billups.
