Kilbane and Williams eyed for featherweight title bout
Promoter talk centers on a Kilbane versus Williams featherweight title fight in California. Kilbane, long battered by abuse from critics, seeks a worthy challenger after losses of two purses totaling about ten thousand dollars. Williams, a bantam standout moving up, has shown decisive wins and may fit as an era defining foe. If staged in Los Angeles, the match could set a new high mark for battles between small fighters.
