“I come forward” - Liam Harrison plans on bringing the fight to Katsuki Kitano
British Muay Thai icon and former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title challenger 'Hitman' Liam Harrison can't wait to step back inside the Circle and do what he does best.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Harrison says he is planning on maintaining the same exact fighting style that made him famous.
'Hitman' stated:
"That’s what I do. I come forward. I’m an aggressive pressure fighter. Obviously, I’m going to have to be on my guard."
'Hitman' Liam Harrison is set to lock horns with Japanese standout Katsuki Kitano at ONE 167: Tawanchai vs. Nattawut II on Prime Video.
The event broadcasts live from the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
