“I don’t want to be remembered like that” - Liam Harrison doesn’t want his career to be defined by knee injury

British Muay Thai icon and former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title challenger 'Hitman' Liam Harrison of the United Kingdom believes his storied career is almost nearing its end. That being said, the 38-year-old combat sports veteran wants fans to remember him as a fighter who left it all out in the ring.

Two years ago, Harrison suffered a devastating knee injury in the middle of a world title bout against Thai legend Nong-O Hama. He has since been in recovery and rehabilitation, trying to get his knee right.

Now, 'Hitman' is finally ready to return to action, and he's put things into perspective ahead of his highly anticipated comeback.

​

Harrison told the Sky Sports MMA Club in a recent interview:

"The last thing that I want is to have people to have a last memory of me getting stretchered out of that ring and not walking and I’m (being) stretchered to the hospital. I don’t want to be remembered like that."

Harrison wants to go out on his own terms while doing what he does best. The 38-year-old gets the chance to showcase the skills that made him famous once again when he returns to action in September against another legendary foe.
