Liam Harrison is returning to action for the first time in two years and he’s not taking an easy path on the road back to the World Title conversation. And his upcoming opponent is a dangerous one who, like him, has a wealth of experience to draw on.
This Friday, September 6, ‘Hitman’ will face the dangerous Seksan ‘The Man Who Yields To No One’ Or Kwanmuang in a 140-lb catchweight Muay Thai bout at ONE 168: Denver. The event takes place inside Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado, and will be broadcast live on U.S. primetime.

While recovering on the sidelines, the British star enjoyed watching ‘The Man Who Yields To No One’ as he tore through the competition with a pristine 8-0 record in 2023. This led him to call for a match against the Thai star, and in a couple of days, it will finally happen in the middle of the ONE Circle.
Speaking to ONE in a recent interview, the Bad Company athlete shared what he expects to see from Seksan and what makes him so dangerous as an opponent.
“He has horrible elbows. The angles he throws them and he just swings in with them. If I’m not careful and I just start swinging all over trying to get rid of him, that’s when he ends up putting people out and knocking them down with elbows,” he said.

What’s your perspective on:
Can Liam Harrison outsmart Seksan's dangerous arsenal, or is he in over his head this time?
Have an interesting take?
“He’s got a lot of dangerous weapons. He’ll throw in all kinds of stuff. I will have to be switched on for the entire fight to make sure that I don’t get caught with anything stupid from him. But, like I said, I probably will get caught with all kinds of stupid stuff so there’ll be a point where my game plan goes out of the window and we just go for it,” he added. But Harrison himself, of course, is among the best fighters in his division.
Harrison’s experience will serve him well in bout with fellow legend
Harrison has made a name for himself by putting on explosive fights with his all-action style that helped him take down some of the toughest strikers around the world. He has won three Muay Thai World Titles with over 100 fights in his illustrious career.

The 38-year-old still has a lot of fight in him, but understands that he is closer to calling it a career than his prime. While winning and climbing up the ranks is important for him, he wants to focus instead on putting on a show for fans against willing and capable dance partners like Seksan.
