ONE strawweight kickboxing world champion Jonathan Di Bella has a massive first title defense assignment against sturdy challenger Danial Williams in the co-main event of ONE Fight Night 15.
And because ‘Mini T’s' highly aggressive has made him an instant hit on the promotion’s roster, the Canadian-Italian slugger is even more determined to show that he is a must-watch athlete.
Di Bella revealed this through his interview with Karyn Bryant on her YouTube channel, as he claimed that he can match the excitement that ‘Mini T’ brings to every match by saying:
“With Danial Williams, I think he’s been fun to watch. But at the same time, I’ve really brought excitement into fights, and I’m going to show that I can just be as entertaining and exciting as him.”
