In the heart of Florida’s Plant City, “Marvelous” Mykquan Williams, a gem from DiBella Entertainment’s stable, stormed into the ring last week, hungry to unleash a standout performance against Luis Feliciano. And unleash he did, toppling his once-unbeaten rival in a sixth-round whirlwind. Hailing from East Hartford, CT, and honing his skills under the watchful eye of veteran coach Paul Cichon at Manchester Ring of Champions Society, Williams snatched the vacant WBA Continental Americas Gold Super Lightweight Title, boasting an impressive sheet of 20 wins, no losses, and 2 draws, with 9 of those wins ending in knockouts.
Headlining the action on ProBoxTV, Williams, initially the underdog, swiftly flipped the script, commanding the ring. He unleashed a relentless jab and danced around Feliciano’s attempts at offense with cunning footwork. The second round laid the groundwork for Williams’ dominance, sending Feliciano to the mat twice. A sharp jab-right combo had Feliciano wobbling, and a subsequent onslaught saw him kissing the canvas. Rising, only to be sent down again by Williams’ ruthless precision. The 25-year-old continued to apply pressure, weaving together precise combinations and counters. Midway through the sixth, Williams landed a compact overhand right, sending Feliciano reeling into the ropes before a final barrage sealed Feliciano’s fate. Referee Frank Santori Jr. called it—Feliciano was done, leaving with a 17-1 record.
“I felt electric with that win,” Williams expressed, managed by the legendary Jackie Kallen. “Post-fight, I was just swimming in joy, thankful for the chance to flaunt my skills on ProBoxTV against a sturdy, undefeated opponent.”
“It was the right call to end it,” Williams added. “I rattled Feliciano early in the second, then floored him twice. For the next rounds, I was just peppering him, really outclassing him. Then, in the sixth, I cornered him with a jab and a sharp, slicing right hook. I made him stagger, and then pounced, sending him down a third time. It was a stellar night, a solid win. I felt on top of my game and I’m raring for the next challenge.”
Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment, praised Williams’ career-defining display. “Mykquan has shown he’s got what it takes to be a world champ. He’s a powerhouse at 140 pounds. Having been with us from the start, I’ve seen him evolve from a budding talent to a top-contender. In such a competitive division, I’m eager to line up the right chances for him to grasp that world title dream.”
