Danial Williams is in perfect health ahead of upcoming fight at ONE Fight Night 8

The 29-year-old contender is injury-free and feeling good ahead of his bout with Rui Botelho, telling ONE:

“I had a really good rest after the last fight. I let a lot of things heal -- the best thing I've ever done. Just the deload phase. I'm feeling really good now.
"There's no little injuries or anything. There are a few things I still have to be careful of, just with my hand and that, but nothing where it's like going to be an issue in the back of my mind where I have to alter my training massively. So I'm doing a lot of skills training, which I need. I'm super happy with this camp at the moment.”

Danial Williams is 3-1 inside the Circle, with victories over Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke, Namiki Kawahara, and Zelang Zhaxi.

ONE Championship's strawweight Muay Thai division is currently headed by Italy's Joseph Lasiri, who attained the world title by beating Prajanchai PK Saenchai last May.

'Mini T' is feeling 100% healthy and motivated in the lead-up to his upcoming bout against Botelho, who has won just one of his five matches inside the Circle.
