The bankrupt American boxing judge at the centre of the inquiry into the Lennox Lewis-Evander Holyfield fight has over $30,000 in two bank accounts despite declaring herself bankrupt, the Sunday Mirror has claimed.

Williams, who filed for bankruptcy six weeks ago, scored the fight in Holyfield's favour despite many observers believing Lewis had won easily.

Last Thursday, she denied there had been any pay-off conspiracy but told the American state Senate Committee on Investigations that after watching the fight on video she would have scored it a draw.

When confronted by the Sunday Mirror, Williams said: "I've been told I can't say anything. Talk to my attorney." The paper quoted New York State Senator Roy Goodman as saying: "This is stunning news and must be looked into further. Clearly something is not right."
