The hard-knuckle Australian-Thai fighter Danial Williams has been enjoying good times and unbelievable fights in various sports throughout his journey in ONE Championship.

Although he has undeniable skills, the former two-time world title challenger said he is ready to take off from kickboxing and mixed martial arts to focus himself in one sport: Muay Thai.

In an interview with Sportskeeda MMA, Williams said:

"Yes, that's exactly it man. But really, it's been a good learning curve. Trying out different sports, everything here at ONE over the last four fights. And now that I've had my experience, I really know what I want to narrow my goal towards, just focus on one sport, just stay in one gym instead of trying to do several trainings and visits, going there going here, it gets tiring."
"So yeah. Pumped. I'm still waiting for a strawweight Muay Thai fight," Williams added.

WIth that in mind, it is very interesting to see what lies ahead for Williams, a three-sport superstar, who consistently remains a fan favorite by dishing out action-packed bouts each time he steps into the Circle.

As a three-sport superstar Danial Williams seems to have a certain interest on a young, phenomenal fighter from Malaysia.

ONE flyweight Muay Thai contender Johan Ghazali, who will face Vietnamese powerhouse Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat, is indeed in the making of becoming a superstar.

That is not without reason, as the teen possesses all the attributes needed to become the center of attention, both in and out of the ring, as stated by Williams in an interview with Sportskeeda MMA:

"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."

With a five-win streak ahead of the blockbuster event at Bangkok's Impact Arena, will Ghazali be able to continue his journey?

ONE 167 is available live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in North America in U.S. primetime on June 7.
