Danny Williams’ one-arm knockout of Mark Potter in October 2000 is one of boxing’s most iconic moments. During the fight for the British heavyweight title, Williams suffered a dislocated right shoulder in the third round, rendering his arm useless. Despite the severe injury, he displayed incredible heart and determination, fighting with just his left hand. In the sixth round, Williams delivered a devastating left uppercut, knocking out Potter and claiming victory in what remains a testament to his resilience and grit.

Tragically, Mark Potter passed away in November 2022 at the age of 47, following a battle with stomach cancer. He was widely remembered as a tough competitor and a beloved figure in British boxing circles.

After defeating Potter, Williams continued his career, achieving significant milestones. In 2004, he stunned the boxing world by defeating Mike Tyson with a fourth-round stoppage, catapulting him into the spotlight. Later that year, he faced WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko but was stopped in the eighth round. Williams fought numerous times afterward, with a career spanning over 20 years, though his later fights were marked by inconsistency.

Danny Williams’ victory over Potter remains a legendary moment, symbolizing the courage and unpredictability that make boxing so compelling.
