"I'll be like this until the day I retire" - Liam Harrison says he'll fight with the same "intensity" to the end
A leopard never changes its spots. The same can be said for Liam Harrison, who vows to pack the same aggression and firepower until he draws the curtain on his glorious career.
The Leeds slugger is set for his promotional return at ONE 168: Denver on September 6. There, he squares off against Thai striking legend Seksan Or Kwanmuang in a 140-pound catchweight Muay Thai duel.
Before he laces the four-ounce gloves once more after a two-year spell on the sidelines, the Bad Company striker touched on his style of fighting and whether he'd plan to tone it down with him being at the tail end of his career.
The 38-year-old, unsurprisingly, doesn't plan on putting a stop to his fan-friendly flair.
Liam Harrison had this to say during a recent chat with Yokkao:
"I'm sure you've watched me train, and you can vouch for me that I've still got that intensity. I've still got that power. I'm still 100 percent focused on just getting in that fight by training hard. And I'll be like this until the day I retire."
Find out if he can return to winning ways against 'The Man Who Yields To No One' in The Mile High City on September 6. The card will be topped by three massive world title tilts.
