Joseph “The Widow Maker” Williams, born on October 18, 1993, in Chumuckla, Florida, was raised in Pensacola before embarking on a transformative journey that would eventually take him to Vicente Lopez, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Though he stands at 5’9” and fights out of an orthodox stance, Joseph’s nickname, 'The Widow Maker,' originated from an intense rugby game where, despite being the smallest player, he left a trail of injured opponents. Joseph brings his fiery identity into the BKB arena, introduced as a man shaped by both his hometown roots and international experience.

Williams’ combat journey reflects a deep dedication to the sport. With a bare knuckle record of 2-1, he also holds a 1-0 record in professional gloved boxing, showcasing knockout power. His fighting style, inspired by the classical Soviet school, is defined by elite footwork, discipline, and calculated aggression. He trains under Roman Mikhaylov with teammates Daryl, Gabe, and Carl, and is cornered by Scott Farley and Daryl Bell. While he acknowledges volume punching as an area for improvement, his recent KO victory in gloved boxing proves his evolving skillset. Having started training professionally six years ago, Joseph believes he was born to fight and uses every bout as an opportunity to overcome the hardships of his past.

Fighting in BKB means more than just competition for Joseph—it represents redemption and a platform to express his resilience. Influenced by legendary figures like Vasily Shishov, Roman Romanchuk, and Oleksandr Usyk, he seeks to deliver powerful performances rooted in technical precision. His goals are straightforward yet fierce: to knock out opponents and, eventually, capture a world title. Outside the ring, Joseph finds joy in dancing, watching horror movies, caring for cats, and coaching. With family support from his father Joey and mother Stephanie, he carries a determined spirit into every. As one of the few American fighters trained in classical Soviet technique, he urges fans to 'enjoy the show.'
