Williams met with reporters on Tuesday to set the record straight on his manager, Columbus-based promoter Al Battle, 10TV's Jerry Revish reported.
Battle, who like Williams has a criminal record, has been criticized recently for his checkered past.
"He was given a second chance and done very well," Williams said. "What other kind of example do I need in my camp to help guide me to my second chance?"

Battle said he is helping Williams negotiate a book, movie and reality show deal in Los Angeles.
"My life was at a low point," Battle said. "However I never lost the desire to transform myself into the person that I know God had intended for me to be."
Williams said he is living in Los Angeles to take advantage of voice-over work.
He said he is in an outpatient program for drug and alcohol addiction.
Williams will do an exclusive interview with the CBS Early Show on Wednesday
