“I’m very excited” - Superlek chomping at the bit to witness Liam Harrison’s return at ONE 168: Denver
Superlek Kiatmoo9 can't wait to see Muay Thai legend Liam Harrison step back inside the Circle this summer.
'Hitman' has been sidelined for the last two years after going down with a devastating knee injury in the first round of his ONE world title fight with then-champion Nong-O Hama at ONE on Prime Video 1.
In the time since, Harrison has undergone extensive surgery and fought his way through a harrowing recovery process to once again find himself fully healed and ready to make one more run on martial arts' biggest global stage.
Harrison's long-awaited return will go down on Friday, September 6 when he heads to The Mile High City—Denver, Colorado—for ONE 168. There, the 'Hitman' will square off with Muay Thai sensation Seksan Or Kwanmuang.
Speaking about Harrison's highly anticipated return to the Circle this year, ONE flyweight kickboxing king Superlek shared his excitement, telling the promotion:
“I’m very excited for his return. I’m happy for him that he’s recovered. I believe so many fans are waiting to watch him. I’m looking forward to seeing him in action!”
'The Kicking Machine' will join Liam Harrison at ONE 168: Denver as he looks to add another 26 pounds of gold to his collection.

After securing a big win over rising Thai prospect Kongthoranee Sor Sommai at ONE Friday Fights 68 in Bangkok, Superlek will now turn his attention toward his next task—taking out two-sport king Jonathan Haggerty.
Emanating from Ball Arena, Superlek will move up from his post at flyweight to challenge 'The General' for the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai championship in what many are hailing as one of the biggest fights in ONE Championship history.
Both men are coming off a series of incredible victories over the last year. Aside from his victory against Kongthoranee, Superlek has also secured wins over 'The Iron Man' Rodtang and Japanese kickboxing icon Takeru Segawa.
Meanwhile, Jonathan Haggerty has KO'd his last three opponents—former ONE world champion Nong-O, current ONE bantamweight MMA titleholder Fabricio Andrade, and 'Demolition Man' Felipe Lobo.
Who leaves with the gold and ultimate bragging rights when ONE Championship returns to the United States for the first time since May 2023?
