Danial Williams (Thai: แดเนียล วิลเลียมส์, born June 13, 1993), is a Thai-born Australian Muay Thai kickboxer and mixed martial artist currently signed to ONE Championship, where he competes in the Strawweight division.

Background

Williams was born on June 13, 1993, in Phan district, Chiang Rai province, Thailand. His father is Australian and mother Thai, when he was 8 months old, they came to Australia to live here for a better life.

Williams was a shy child whose mixed heritage always made him feel like a bit of an outcast. He wasn't like his school friends in Australia, or like his family in Thailand, and he struggled to find his place.[2]

Muay Thai & Kickboxing career

Early career

Williams faced Aaron Leigh for the CMT Super Bantamweight Championship at Caged Muay Thai 3 on July 6, 2013. He won the fight by a fourth-round knockout.[3]

Williams faced Shota Takiya in the 2015 K-1 World GP 2015 Super Bantamweight Tournament quarterfinals, held on April 19, 2015. He lost the fight by majority decision.[4]

ONE Championship

Williams made his ONE Super Series debut against ONE Flyweight Champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon in a non-title fight at ONE on TNT 1 on April 7, 2021.[5][6] Williams lost the back-and-forth bout by unanimous decision.[7] The fight was later named ONE Super Series Fight of the Year by ONE Championship.[8]

Williams was scheduled to face Rui Botelho on March 25, 2023, at ONE Fight Night 8.[9] However, Williams replacing Rodtang Jitmuangnon faced Superlek Kiatmuu9 for the ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Championship.[10] He lost the bout via knockout in the third round.[11]

Williams faced Jonathan Di Bella for the ONE Strawweight Kickboxing World Championship on October 7, 2023, at ONE Fight Night 15.[12] He lost the bout via unanimous decision.[13]
