38-year-old Liam Harrison is a veteran of nearly two decades in the kickboxing and Muay Thai world. He’s set to return to the ring against Seksan Or Kwanmuang at ONE 168: Denver on September 6th at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. This marks his comeback after a two-year absence because of multiple setbacks.
Despite reaching the tail end of his career, Harrison shows no signs of slowing down. This is evident in his recent Instagram post featuring a highlight reel of knockouts. He captioned the video, “Ain’t anyone from the UK who can send you for an early bath with 1 shot like I can. Done it consistently for over 20 years and looking forward to adding a few more KOs to the list before I retire,” showcasing his intent to continue fighting for some time.

The multiple-time Muay Thai World Champion has knocked out plenty of fighters in his storied career, including Mehdi Zatout, Anuwat, Jaroensap, Tetsuya Yamato, and a 2022 ONE Muay Thai Fight of the Year winner over Muangthai P.K Saenchai. Over the past couple of decades, Liam Harrison has fought over 100 bouts and won 90 of them.
He joined the world’s largest martial arts organization in 2018, but a couple of setbacks at featherweight led to him moving down a division where he has since thrived. He scored back-to-back wins in Bantamweight, which led to a ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title Fight against Nong-O Hama at ONE X in March 2022.
