Fans are hyped up for Jonathan Di Bella's first ONE Championship world title defense later this week.

In October 2022, Di Bella made his ONE debut with a professional kickboxing record of 10-0. Due to his status as an undefeated fighter, the Canadian-Italian’s first fight with the promotion was against Zhang Peimian for the inaugural ONE strawweight kickboxing world title.

After five rounds of action, Di Bella emerged victorious by unanimous decision.

On Friday, October 6, the 27-year-old world champion returns for his first world title defense. Di Bella has been matched up against three-sport athlete Danial Williams, who plans to pull off an upset inside the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium.
