Lightweight boxer Sid had gone 13 months since his last fight, but took little time to establish command in his contest at a packed to the rafters Hilton Hotel in Bradford on 27 May, as he battled it out for the British Masters and Central Area welterweight titles.

A jubilant Siddique told Leader: "It's a fantastic achievement to win any belt, never mind two and I'd just like to thank all my fans for coming along – they were great."

Williams had already been floored once before Siddique struck the killer blow midway through the fourth round, delivering a thunderous right that sent his opponent flying across the ring and also triggered some ecstatic celebrations from the Golden Boy's fans.

Siddique, who admitted prior to the fight that he hadn't truly tested himself despite a one hundred percent win record from 18 contests, was boxing two divisions above his normal fighting weight, but clearly had enough power to put away his heavier opponent.

It was a dream comeback for Siddique, though he didn't have it all his own way, as Williams, who was always on the back-foot, showed a dogged determination to land a few telling blows of his own.

However, whilst Siddique had a few signs of blood round his nose, Williams entire face was a bloody mess come the decisive fourth round and Siddique's quickness of hand meant he was capitalising on any openings that were on offer.

Williams was down for a good five minutes and needed an oxygen mask after the knockout blow, but appeared to improve after some help from the ringside medical staff.

Siddique, who spent time training with world champion and fellow Bradfordian Junior Witter in the Grand Canary in preparation for the fight added: "I want to fight at least three more times before the end of the year, people are interested now and I want to make a real name for myself.

"I was a little bit ring rusty at first, which was expected, I got caught a few times, but I was always confident – I've been sparring with a world champion, taking shots from the best, so I knew I could do the business."

Also on the night, Bradford middleweight Khurram Hussain breezed to a victory over Pontefract's Peter Dunn and in what was an enthralling spectacle, bantamweight Robert Nelson and Sheffield's Mo Khaled fought out a hard-hitting draw.
