“He drowns you with pressure” - Liam Harrison sings praise for Seksan’s relentless aggression ahead of ONE 168 clash
Liam Harrison acknowledged that he must "be careful" at ONE 168: Denver due to Seksan's relentless forward pressure.
Harrison, a Muay Thai legend, hasn't fought since suffering a knee injury against then-bantamweight world champion Nong-O in August 2022. The UK superstar has overcome several setbacks to ensure he could return to action, leading to a legacy matchup on September 6 inside the 'Mile High City'.
Harrison has been matched up against Seksan, a four-time Muay Thai world champion. 'The Man Who Yields To No One' also has added motivation to emerge victorious, as he endured his first promotional loss against Yutaro Asahi in April.
During an interview with ONE, Liam Harrison talked about the aggression from his upcoming opponent and had this to say about being careful:
“He’s willing to take shots to come forward and give it. He drowns you with pressure, so I’ve got to be careful as well.”
ONE 168: Denver will feature two world title fights inside the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado - Jonathan Haggerty (c) vs. Superlek (bantamweight Muay Thai) and Kade Ruotolo (c) vs. Mikey Musumeci (lightweight submission grappling).
Tickets for the highly anticipated event in North America can be found on Ticketmaster.
Will Seksan or Liam Harrison retire at ONE 168: Denver?
Seksan and Liam Harrison don't have anything to prove at this point in their fighting careers. Therefore, fans have questioned if either fighter will retire at ONE 168: Denver, regardless of the result, and end their competitive journeys.
Harrison appears less likely to ride off into the sunset. At 38 years old, the eight-time Muay Thai world champion endured a treacherous journey to bounce back from his knee injury. Since then, 'Hitman' has claimed he's feeling healthy and ready for war, foreshadowing several more potential fights under the ONE banner.
Meanwhile, Seksan's future is uncertain following ONE 168. 'The Man Who Yields To No One' has fought over 250 times and arguably doesn't have another world title run in him.
Things could change depending on how his matchup against Harrison plays out, as an impressive win would be a difference-maker.
