Liam Harrison is a modern-day gunslinger who attacks first and asks questions later as soon as the bell rings. Admittedly, the British icon's penchant for figuring in all-out brawls has been his downfall sometimes.
While Harrison will push the pedal to the metal against Soe Lin Oo, he promised to be mindful and not give in to his primal tendencies too much. 'Hitman' told SCMP:
"I'm just gonna fight my style, I'm going to do hard punches, hard leg kicks. I might have to be smart in the late stages of that fight, and I might have to get on my bike a bit, and I might have to use my IQ a little bit, which gets overlooked."
