The star-studded event takes place inside the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, and will be broadcast live and for free on Amazon Prime Video for fans across North America. The Aussie-Thai fireball understands that Di Bella is undefeated and a World Champion for a reason, and he acknowledges that he has formidable weapons to overcome.

“I think his technique [is his biggest strength], man. His technique is wicked. He’s got a really good lead hook, and he’s got fast kicks. He’s a volume fighter, so the pressure’s there. He’s going to keep striking,” Williams told ONE in an interview. “I just think because he’s just grown up with his dad being a champion, training since two years old. That’s all he knows. I just think his technique is quite flawless, and yeah, he’s obviously undefeated. So, I just feel like that’s all he knows, and he’s destined to do it.”

Di Bella made a memorable debut in the world’s largest martial arts organization when he took out Chinese star Zhang Peimian to win the divisional crown at ONE 162 last October 2022. At the time, ‘Fighting Rooster’ was coming off back-to-back wins and was favored to become the latest teenage titleholder in ONE. However, it was the Italian-Canadian who would lift the coveted strap that night, extending his professional win streak to 11 in the process.

“I feel like [Di Bella] got bumped up to fight for the title straight away, so I don’t feel like he’s fought the experienced guys here. Zhang Peimian is probably the most experienced guy, I feel like, and yeah, that was a close fight. Very close. Head kick. If you didn’t get the head kick, I think they’d have given it to ZPM,” Williams said. “I just feel like he just hasn’t fought someone like me before.”
