Former ONE world title challenger and multi-sport phenom ‘Mini T’ Danial Williams is keeping training camp for his upcoming opponent close to home. It’s a simplicity that is more than welcome, according to the Australian-Thai dynamo.

Williams is set to lock horns with Filipino firecracker and former Team Lakay standout ‘Thunder Kid’ Lito Adiwang at ONE Fight Night 19: Haggerty vs. Lobo on Prime Video. The event will be broadcast live from the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on Friday, February 16.

Speaking to Southern Cross Combat in a recent interview, Williams expressed how grateful he is to be able to train at a gym so near his house for a change.

‘Mini T’ stated:

“I get to train really close to home, so training can go a lot easier because Scrappy MMA Gym is like three minutes away from my house. So being able to walk there, ride there, and just keep things a lot more simple. Just being able to do the hard session but not have this long drive to get everywhere and waste all this time, I’m really grateful for that as well.”
