'Mini T' Danial Williams feels like he could take on the whole world. The Thai-Australian fighter spent years competing in MMA and is now returning to his home in Muay Thai.

Upcoming in the ONE circle, 'Mini T' will look to make a triumphant return to the sport he loves when he battles Rui Botelho later this week. The Muay Thai war is booked for March 24 at ONE Fight Night 8 on Prime Video. All ONE Fight Night events are broadcast live and for free in North America via Prime Video.

On his return to Muay Thai, Danial Williams is feeling very confident. In an interview with ONE Championship, he explained:

"I just said the word focus, man. That's the biggest thing. When I'm focused, I feel unbeatable. So I feel the focus has been there after that last fight, getting the injuries recovered and coming back in."

In preparation for his fight at ONE Fight Night 8, Williams lived in the gym. He continued:

"I'm not missing training, not distracting yourself, and just keeping the body healthy. The main thing is just making sure you're training as much as possible, resting as much as possible and sticking to what I need to do to be able to win the fights."

Danial Williams seeking ONE gold after Rui Botelho fight

'Mini T' Danial Williams is looking to defeat Rui Botelho on March 24 and take a step closer to his dream of holding a world title in ONE Championship. His division currently has Muay Thai king Joseph Lasiri holding the crown.

Williams explained his timeline in an interview with ONE Championship. He said:

"I really want the Muay Thai title shot. That's my goal. I want to take this fight, hopefully, get the title shot after this one. That's my plan right now. It's sort of my main focus, but hey, if ONE chucks me in an MMA fight, I want that rematch with my last fight, so if that gets thrown at me, I'll tell you in a heartbeat."

Despite having ONE gold on his mind, Williams first needs to get the win over Portugal's Botelho later this week. Fans are anticipating a highly exciting war at ONE Fight Night 8.
