British icon Liam Harrison emerges as heavy fan favorite over Thai legend Seksan ahead of ONE 168 super fight in Denver
ONE Championship is set to deliver an action-packed night of fights at ONE 168: Denver on Sept. 6 inside the Ball Arena, which features the clash of Muay Thai legends Liam Harrison and Seksan Or Kwanmuang.
The world's largest martial arts promotion conducted a fan poll on Instagram, where 65 percent expect of voters 'Hitman' to come out on top when he trades leather with the Thai megastar in Denver.
Check out the graphic below:
Harrison last fought in Aug. 2022, when he challenged then-ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O Hama. The Thai icon ended his hopes of winning his first ONE world title with a leg kick that severely injured his knee.
While the British icon was recovering, Seksan went on an insane eight-fight win streak to kickstart his promotional career in 2023, including finishes over Sean Clancy and Isaac Araya.
However, 'The Man Who Yields To No One' suffered his first loss under the ONE banner at the hands of Japanese star Yutaro Asahi this past April at ONE Friday Fights 58.
Seksan guarantees exciting showdown with Liam Harrison at ONE 168
Despite being two of their generation's most iconic Muay Thai fighters, Liam Harrison and Seksan have never crossed paths. That is, until their Muay Thai battle at ONE 168: Denver on Sept. 6 inside the Ball Arena.
Speaking to the South China Morning Post, Seksan explained why it will be a must-see fight:
"I think it would be very fun because we both share the same exciting style, always moving forward, explosive action, and I think it's going to be like an absolutely explosive fight."
