The Champ- Sonny Bill Williams

All Black Sonny Bill Williams wins New Zealand title

World Cup-winning rugby star Sonny Bill Williams is a boxing champion after a first-round knockout over Clarence Tillman.

Williams, who played the final four minutes of New Zealand's victory over France in October, beat veteran Tillman with a second of round one remaining.

The win means Williams has won all five of his paids bouts and also secured the vacant New Zealand heavyweight title.

The 26-year-old gave away 21kg in weight to his American opponent. MORE

We could do with a proper heavyweight boxing champ, would be great to watch a good fight again.

Yes, not this boring heavyweight fights we get where every single bout goes the full 12 rounds of tapping each other

This fight was a joke... NZ boxing very weak if that's the best they got... Sonny Bill hasn't been tested yet (pushed 6 rnds? by guy who was supposedly claiming a disability grant in his last fight)

Nog voor die eerste rondte begin het.

and "Suzie the waitress" will be the ring girl!

Cape Town - New Zealand rugby star and heavyweight boxer, Sonny Bill Williams, will fight South African heavyweight Danie Venter later this year.

The venue for Willliams's fight with the 32-year-old-Venter, who represented South Africa at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney as a Light Heavyweight, is still unconfirmed.

Plans for Williams to fight SA's former world heavyweight champion, Francois Botha, is still on the go - but according to the Beeld newspaper it won't happen in November as initially hoped.

This comes news after it was confirmed on Thursday that Williams will be in action in an international sevens tournament, the 7'sPL, in George in December.

Williams, Welsh legend Shane Williams and Australia’s enigmatic flyhalf, Quade Cooper, will play for the NBM All Stars team.

The 7'sPL tournament, with prize money of R1 million, will see 12 teams, including some of the world’s best rugby players, in action.

The NBM All Stars are the first outfit to make a major announcement regarding the acquisition of players for the tournament.

Sonny better start running now

Maybe not from Danie Venter, but definitely from Francois Botha
