"He's got so much more room to grow" - Danial Williams stacks praise on 17-year-old phenom Johan Ghazali

According to former two-time world title challenger Danial Williams, the sky is the limit for ONE flyweight Muay Thai contender Johan Ghazali, and who barely scratched the surface of his full potential.

In an interview with Sportskeeda MMA exclusive, Williams said that he likes watching Ghazali because he has the makings of a future superstar. Also, he has identified all the great attributes that the 17-year-old phenom possesses, which makes him a must-watch fighter.

'Mini T' explained:

"I'm a massive fan of his. It's in his blood, that knockout power, that trait to best the best. That's why I'm a massive fan of him. He's still young, and it's scary to think what more he can achieve. He's got so much more room to grow."

Ghazali currently rides a five-fight win streak under the world's largest martial arts organization since making his promotional debut in February 2024 at ONE Friday Fights 6.

The Malaysian-American star defeated the likes of Padetsuk Fairtex, Tai Sor Jor Piek Uthai, Samurai Seeopal, and Temirlan Bekmurzaev. His most recent victory was against former ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title challenger Edgar Tabares in December 2023 at ONE Fight Night 17, where he scored a 36-second knockout of the Mexican contender.
