“Love to fight for ONE Championship in the UK” - Liam Harrison hopes ONE brings events to United Kingdom before he rides off into sunset
Striking legend Liam Harrison knows how to make a buzz, and he's coming at it again ahead of his much-awaited clash with Seksan Or Kwanmuang at ONE 168: Denver on September 6.
After he faces the Thai legend, he is gunning for what could be his one last run in the United Kingdom, if ONE Championship brings its brand of world-class martial arts action to the country in the near future.
Harrison understands he wouldn't be competing for too long, and also knows the promotion has been eyeing for more audience in the U.K. and Ireland, especially with a multi-year agreement with Sky Sports.
'Hitman' spoke to South China Morning Post ahead of the fight week for ONE 168 about what he thinks about a possible fight in London:
"I'd obviously love to fight for ONE Championship in the UK. But I don't know how long I'm going to be around for."
He explained:
"I'd prefer if they did it quick, if Haggerty holds the belt and fights Nico. I fight co-main against anyone really. So that's the most realistic idea I think."

Liam Harrison will be extra careful when facing Seksan at ONE 168
While the potential London card is still brewing, Liam Harrison is currently facing a very tough opponent in fellow legend Seksan Or Kwanmuang, and he knows he should proceed with extra caution.
'Hitman' will return to the global stage in an all-legends bout inside the Ball Arena, Denver, after sustaining multiple injuries which forced him to be on the sidelines for over two years.
However, Liam Harrison is ready for a comeback, as he said in the same interview:
"It's not like I took a f***ing easy road to come back to, you know what I mean? So if it goes to sh*t, I'm getting f***ing knocked out, you know what I mean?"
He added:
"Seksan is dynamite. But I believe everything will go how I see it going."
Tickets for ONE 168: Denver are still available in limited quantities via Ticketmaster.
