"His toughness is unbelievable" - Liam Harrison says Seksan earned one of the coolest nicknames in combat sports
Fifth-ranked bantamweight Muay Thai contender Liam Harrison believes Seksan Or Kwanmuang truly personifies his in-ring moniker.
The Thai legend certainly has one of the coldest nicknames in all of combat sports, since he also goes by 'The Man Who Yields To No One'.
While a fearsome name like that does carry a lot of expectations, Seksan has proven time and time again that he is as tough as they come.
Even his ONE 168: Denver opponent Harrison has grown fond of watching the 35-year-old's unreal grit over the years.
Speaking to the South China Morning Post, 'Hitman' praised Seksan's unyielding determination to withstand punishment.
"You know what, if anyone has earned a right to that nickname, it's this guy, really. He's one of the toughest, hardest warriors that you're ever going to come across. His heart is unbelievable. His toughness is unbelievable. His chin is ridiculous."
Truth be told, we've seen a lot of gimmicky fighter nicknames over the years.
Harrison, though, agrees that Seksan embodies the true warrior spirit of an old-school brawler. He added:
"You won't find anyone on this planet with a bigger heart and bigger determination than him. He's earned that nickname 100 percent."
Don't miss 'The Man Who Yields To No One's US debut at ONE 168: Denver on September 6 at Ball Arena. Tickets for this can't-miss event are available via Ticketmaster.

Seksan grateful to have earned Liam Harrison's respect
In an interview with ONE Championship, Seksan reciprocated Liam Harrison's kind words about his career.
"I'm glad he called me out. He's a legend. I follow him too. He's a heavy hitter. I'm glad he said he wanted to fight a legend from Thailand. I am flattered he calls me a hero."
At the end of the day, there's nothing but respect between these two legends. However, make no mistake about it, Liam Harrison and Seksan will look to tear each other's heads off at ONE 168: Denver.
