Upon his return to the Bahamas Williams made his eight consecutive victory on April 18, 2007, defeating Wade Lewis with a first round KO. On January 22, 2011 Williams fought against Evander Holyfield at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Holyfield started the bout slowly and in the second round, he was cut in the left eye following an accidental clash of heads. In round three as he took several combinations. After the end of the round, Holyfield told his corner that he was unable to see due to the cut. Consequently, the bout was ruled a no contest.
