Arthur James Williams (born November 12, 1964) is an American former professional boxer who competed between 1989 and 2010. He held the IBF cruiserweight title from 1998 to 1999 and challenged twice for the WBA cruiserweight title in 1994.

Professional career[]

Williams became professional in 1989 and fell short in his first shot at a major championship title, a 1994 split-decision loss to Orlin Norris for the World Boxing Association Cruiserweight Title. Williams was knocked out in the third round in a rematch with Norris later that year. It was not until 1998 that Williams got another shot at a title belt, a 1998 bout with Imamu Mayfield for the International Boxing Federation Cruiserweight Title. Williams lost the belt in his first defense to Vassiliy Jirov in a seventh-round knockout.

In 2010, Williams defeated Valente Tinajero (8-0, 4 KO's) on the Holyfield-Botha Undercard. In December 2010, Williams, 46, lost a ten-round decision to Carl Davis for the vacant USBO Cruiserweight title in Chicago, Illinois, in his last major bout.
