“I’m very honored” - Thai legend Seksan up to the task to showcase ‘the art of Muay Thai’ in the US
Muay Thai legend Seksan is "honored" to fight at ONE 168: Denver.
Since January 2023, Seksan has established an 8-1 record under the ONE Championship banner. Earlier this year, 'The Man Who Yields To No One' suffered his first promotional loss in a unanimous decision defeat against Yutaro Asahi.
At ONE 168: Denver, the 4x Muay Thai world champion looks to bounce back and return to the win column. To do so, the 35-year-old must get through fellow Muay Thai great Liam Harrison, who hasn't fought since challenging Nong-O for the bantamweight world title in August 2022.
During an interview with the South China Morning Post, Seksan had this to say about the opportunity to fight at ONE 168 in North America:
"I'm very honored to be part of this event as a Thai athlete, as a representative of the art of Muay Thai, to show it to the world and the fans in the United States. I'm very excited to do that."
ONE 168 will take place inside the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. Tickets for the promotion's must-see return to North America can be purchased on Ticketmaster.

Seksan looks to spoil Liam Harrison's comeback story
Seksan isn't the only fighter highly motivated to return to the win column. In August 2022, Liam Harrison failed to become a ONE world champion in a first-round TKO loss against Nong-O. 'Hitman' suffered a knee injury in the previously-mentioned fight, leading to surgery and an extended layoff.
Harrison has endured several setbacks before booking his official return fight at ONE 168: Denver. The 38-year-old looks to showcase his warrior spirit once again by taking out Seksan and completing his comeback story.
Meanwhile, Seksan has different plans for the upcoming legend vs legend matchup in Denver, Colorado. 'The Man Who Yields To No One' has an opportunity to silence the doubters and add another world-class name to his resume. It'll be intriguing to see who emerges victorious in this catchweight Muay Thai bout.
