Professional fighters come from different spheres of life and try to find happiness outside the sport after retirement. Nevertheless, this cannot be said particularly for Liam Harrison. ‘Hitman’ has started to dip his toes into a prominent role by starting his own United Kingdom-based promotion: Hitman Fight League. Together with ONE Championship, the promotion aims to discover some rising talents in the UK.

Harrison has always been vocal about supporting the local fighters and works behind the scenes to get things done. The 38-year-old is confident that his fight league is going in the right direction. During a recent video posted on Instagram by the Hitmanfightleague page, Harrison shared his honest opinion about his new venture. Let us find out what he had to say. 

Liam Harrison shares his honest opinion about his fight league 

Harrison has carved a legacy for himself in the world of Muay Thai and has high hopes for his fight league. The 38-year-old during the video pointed out the things he has been working on since its inception. He said, “We’ve only been around about 15 months. We’ve done about 4 or 5 shows now. But every single show we put on now it’s just steadily growing growing and getting bigger and better. And the production is getting bigger and better. The fight cards are getting bigger and better.”

Harrison further pointed out how ONE Championship is helping them grow as well. He further added, “We’re working alongside people like ONE Championship now. And I think that’s always got to be done if you want to grow and produce a really special show. And I think that’s what we’re doing at the minute.” Hopefully, their fight league can grow in the near future as it’s fairly new. Let us now shift our focus from the fight league and focus our attention on the fighter. 

‘Hitman’ is all set to take on Seksan Or Kwanmuang on his return on September 6 at ONE 168: Denver. It’s been more than two years since Harrison has featured in a fight and has shown great determination to recover from his injury. However, his next opponent is no pushover and the fans are super excited to witness the clash. Let us take a closer look at the fight.

Liam Harrison suffered a devastating injury during his last fight against Nong-O Hama for the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title at ONE X in March 2022. However, the 38-year-old has finally recovered from the injury and is super excited about his upcoming fight. Talking about his Seksan, the 35-year-old is one of the most lethal fighters in the division. He has well over 200 fights in his career and is known for his high pace fighting style. While Harrison was out of action for quite some time, Seksan was more than active since he made his debut at ONE Championship last year, going undefeated in eight fights in 2023.

However, he faced the first loss of his ONE career when he took on Yutaro Asahi at ONE Friday Fights 58 earlier this year. The 35-year-old has moved on from his loss and is all geared up for his upcoming challenge in a 140-pound catchweight bout. In a recent interview with the South China Morning Post, Seksan issued a warning to Harrison and said, “Yes, I want to send this message to Liam. So please 6th September let’s go all out I have trained so much for this fight you know. Like all your weapons like punches,  elbows, kicks just like come throwing at me. I will be throwing at you too. Let us make this a legendary big fight. So let’s go.”
