Liam Harrison believes Masaaki Noiri 'is an amazing addition' to ONE's elite featherweight kickboxing division

ONE Championship has been committed to its moniker of being 'The Home of Martial Arts' by adding kickboxing, Muay Thai and submission grappling fights to their cards, and Muay Thai vet Liam Harrison is ecstatic with the addition of another big name to the roster.

Speaking with the South China Morning Post, 'Hitman' expressed his excitement over having former K-1 world champion Masaaki Noiri on the roster. He said:

​

"He's tough as nails as well. So I think he's an amazing addition into that [featherweight] kickboxing division. He'll be a good opponent for anyone, you know."

Check out the full interview with Liam Harrison below:

Noiri will make his ONE Championship debut at ONE 167 on June 7 and will have the chance to make it a memorable one as he takes on Muay Thai and kickboxing icon Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong inside the Impact Arena in the Thai capital.

The Bad Company product will also fight at ONE 167 as he takes on Katsuki Kitano in a bantamweight Muay Thai bout after nearly two years away from the Circle.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Liam Harrison told them that the long layoff will not affect how he performs and is instead looking forward to the opportunity of showing the fans that he still has it in him:

​

"I'm all focused on this one. Tough opponent. He's younger than me, he's going to be young, hungry looking to make a name for himself and the old boys' going to have to put him back in his place."

ONE 167 will air live and for free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
