Three-sport superstar Danial Williams refuses to make excuses after coming up short in his ONE world title clash with Jonathan Di Bella at ONE Fight Night 15.
After sharing the Circle with the likes of Superlek Kiatmoo9 and Rodtang Jitmuangnon, ‘Mini T’ looked to parlay his experience into a world title-winning performance against ONE strawweight kickboxing king Jonathan Di Bella in October. After five rounds of intense action, Williams did a brilliant job of attacking the champ’s lead leg, but in the end, it wasn’t enough to walk away with the victory.
The Canadian-Italian titleholder came out on top via unanimous decision, keeping his undefeated record intact.
Looking back on his performance against Di Bella, Danial Williams made no excuses and recognized that on that night, the defending champion was simply the better fighter.
“Like I was saying before, weight was a big issue, but the skills weren't,” Williams said. “No excuses man, to be fair, I just lost to the better guy. That's just a better kickboxer and I think I need a little bit more time in that area, focusing on it rather than the two months leading up to it. ‘Alright, let's do some boxing now’, kind of thing.”
