“I’m not going to back down” – Danial Williams wants to tackle Lito Adiwang’s all-out approach head-on

Former two-time world title challenger ‘Mini T’ Danial Williams has set the record straight for his upcoming fight with Lito Adiwang – he is not going to back down.

Williams and Adiwang will be part of the stacked ONE Fight Night 19 on February 16. They are scheduled to compete in a strawweight MMA match inside the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Ahead of their match, guaranteed to be a barnburner, ‘Mini T’ declared that he wouldn’t be intimidated by ‘Thunder Kid’s' signature pressure and power during their fight, thus matching him blow-by-blow.

Danial Williams revealed this in his most recent ONE Championship interview by saying:

“I just want to be busy, have a higher work rate, and when I hit him, hit him hard. Show him that if he hits me, I’m not going to back down.”

The 30-year-old Aussie-Thai athlete is fresh off a unanimous decision loss to Jonathan Di Bella at ONE Fight Night 15 in October 2023, where he missed the opportunity to win a world title for the second time.

Williams’ first crack for a world title occurred in March 2023 at ONE Fight Night 8, when he challenged Superlek Kiatmoo9 for the ONE flyweight kickboxing world title.
