“I was born to do this” - Liam Harrison responds to critics who question his abilities after lengthy injury lay-off

British Muay Thai icon and former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title challenger 'Hitman' Liam Harrison of the United Kingdom is coming off a nearly two-year layoff due to injury.

The 38-year-old veteran suffered a harrowing knee injury at the hands of legendary Thai fighter and former world champion Nong-O Hama in mid-2022. Harrison has been in recovery since.

Now, 'Hitman' is all but ready to step back inside the Circle for his highly anticipated return fight. But some fans question his ability to return to form.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Harrison responded to his critics and reassured fans they are getting the same 'Hitman' they all know and love.
