Danial Williams may have earned his reputation in ONE Championship for being a fighter that is always willing to lay it all on the line but his next contest is different.
Having done his part as a late-notice replacement, fighting in multiple weight classes, and under various rulesets, ‘Mini T’ has put more emphasis on his next outing than any previous fight.
At ONE Fight Night 15 on October 6, he will challenge Jonathan Di Bella for the ONE strawweight kickboxing world championship.
While the Australian-Thai striker is no stranger to competing in big match-ups under the ONE banner, this fight is about more than putting on a show.

This is there for the taking if I just stay focused and do the right things and leave no stone left unturned for this kickboxing title match.”
