Danial Williams (Thai: แดเนียล วิลเลียมส์, born June 13, 1993), is a Thai-born Australian professional Muay Thai fighter, kickboxer, and mixed martial artist currently signed to ONE Championship, where he competes in the Strawweight division.
Background
Williams was born on June 13, 1993, in Phan district, Chiang Rai province, Thailand to an Australian father and Thai mother. He came to Australia when he was eight months old.
Williams was a shy child whose mixed heritage always made him feel like a bit of an outcast. He wasn't like his school friends in Australia, or like his family in Thailand, and he struggled to find his place.
