The first successful world title defense of Supelek Kiatmoo9's ONE flyweight kickboxing world title happened in March 2023 against three-sport menace Danial Williams in the headliner of the ONE Fight Night 8 card.
Williams was a late replacement opponent for Superlek, who stepped in on days' notice after Rodtang Jitmuangnon pulled out of the clash with his fellow star due to an injury.
The full fight of this championship match, where 'The Kicking Machine' displayed a masterful performance was reposted by ONE Championship on their YouTube channel recently, with the video's decription:

However, 'Mini T's' second opportunity to capture a 26-pound golden belt was quickly shattered, as Superlek turned up the heat in the second and third rounds, where he showcased his full set of striking arsenals to fend off the challenge from the Thai-Aussie contender. The stoppage came at the 1:55 mark of the third round.
