As ONE 168: Denver approaches, excitement is building for the stacked card. One of the most anticipated fights features Liam Harrison, ranked #5 in the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai division. After overcoming numerous setbacks, Harrison is finally set to return to the ring after a two-year hiatus. He’ll face Seksan Or Kwanmuang in a catchweight Muay Thai bout (140 lbs) on September 6th at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado.

Determined to make a successful comeback, Liam Harrison recently shared an Instagram video showcasing his intense striking session with five-time world champion Andrew Howson, who is also his cousin. While they exchange smiles during the session, the video ends with a playful collapse by Howson. The video caption reads, “With a combined record of nearly 200 fights and combined age of 163 @andybadco1 should know better than trying to left knee me.”

A living legend in Muay Thai, 45-year-old Andy Howson is a former ONE athlete with a storied career spanning two decades. Known for his aggressive fighting style, Howson followed his cousin Liam Harrison to ONE Championship. However, his debut fight ended in a loss, and he hasn’t fought for the organization since. Despite this, he remains a strong supporter, recently backing Superlek Kiatmoo9 against Jonathan Haggerty, who is going to fight on the Denver card.

The training video makes it clear that Liam Harrison is leaving no room for excuses and is dedicated to making his return a fruitful one against his 35-year-old opponent. However, this intense training session has also captured the attention of fans, who couldn’t resist sharing their opinions in the comment section.
