In that time he had a highly anticipated fight against Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson, where Daniels won the bout by technical knockout due to a knee injury sustained by Thompson.

Returning right back to the 2009 W.A.K.O. Irish Open, Daniels was able to defend his gold in the 84kg division after winning the rematch with Michael Page.
