"Definitely one of my biggest matches" - Liam Harrison sizes up Seksan fight at ONE 168: Denver
Liam Harrison believes his upcoming fight against Thai legend Seksan Or Kwanmuang could go down as one of his greatest duels ever. The Leeds slugger goes toe-to-toe with the striking veteran when the promotion makes its hotly anticipated return to the United States – ONE 168: Denver – inside the Ball Arena on September 6.
Speaking to The FullerWatt Podcast before he graces the Circle in Denver, Colorado, Liam Harrison said:
"Yeah, this is definitely one of my biggest matches because of who he is. He's also one of the most entertaining and famous Thai fighters from the last 15 years. He's a legend, and like I said, he's one of the only ones missing off my list."

Given their similar appetite for non-stop aggression and penchant for putting on a show, 'Hitman's' theory is perfectly accurate.
Seksan ripped through every opposition before his first setback at ONE Friday Fights 58 this past April. He competed eight times in 2023, winning all, including a pair of awe-inspiring knockouts over Irishman Sean Clancy and Spaniard Isaac Araya.
As for the Bad Company megastar, he reeled in a pair of highlight-reel victories against Mohammed Bin Mahmoud and Muangthai PK Saenchai throughout his campaign on the global stage.
However, he hasn't competed since suffering multiple injuries in his ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title matchup against then-kingpin Nong-O Hama in August 2022.
Liam Harrison expects a "crazy fight" against Seksan in Denver
After overcoming a grueling recovery process, Liam Harrison is ready to fire on all cylinders when he makes his return in the Mile High City against a man with the same insane ability to produce ridiculously good fights.
Breaking down how his fight against 'The Man Who Yields To No One' will unfold, the Leeds resident told Yokkao:
"I think we'll be able to produce something really special for the crowd because I think it'll just be a crazy fight."
