At 38, Harrison is definitely at the twilight of his career and has lost quite a few years because of injury. However, he has now decided to test himself against one of the best in the sport. After failing to make a name for himself in the featherweight division, the 38-year-old amassed two consecutive victories in the bantamweight division. Although he failed to win the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title, he is now desperate to prove himself against Seksan. He also shared a slight warning for the 35-year-old and in a recent interview with The Fullerwatt podcast said, “He’s a legend, and like I said, he’s one of the only ones missing off my list.”
