“I got up when many other people wouldn’t” – Liam Harrison would love to be remembered for his inspiring win vs Muangthai
British Muay Thai icon and former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title challenger 'Hitman' Liam Harrison of the United Kingdom wants to be remembered by fans as someone who had no quit in him.
Harrison is the epitome of fighting pride, as the 38-year-old Bad Company representative is known for his incredible toughness and grit.
'Hitman' once got up from two knockdowns against Muangthai PK Saenchai in an April 2022 barnburner. He survived being nearly finished to come back and score a technical knockout victory. All of this transpired in just one round.
After the win, Harrison was awarded a hefty $100,000 bonus for his efforts.
Speaking on a recent guest appearance on Fight Energy Films, Harrison talked about that fight and why he wants it to define his legacy as a fighter.
'Hitman' said:
"As a fighter, remember me from the Muangthai fight. Remember me for that. I got up when I didn't need to. I got up when many other people wouldn't."
Indeed, Harrison won over many fans after that fight, as 'Hitman' proved just how tough he truly is. There is no question that when push comes to shove, Harrison will choose fight over flight anytime.
Luckily, fans won't have to wait long to see Harrison back in action.
