“That one is going to be fireworks” - Jonathan Haggerty "excited" to catch all-legend war between Liam Harrison and Seksan
Before Jonathan Haggerty headlines ONE 168: Denver this Friday night, 'The General' will have his eyes locked onto the highly anticipated return of British Muay Thai icon Liam Harrison. More than two years removed from a devastating knee injury in his ONE world title clash with Nong-O Hama at ONE on Prime Video 1, 'Hitman' will be back in action as ONE Championship descends upon the Ball Arena for one of the most anticipated combat sports cards of 2024.
ONE 168: Denver will see Harrison go toe-to-toe with Thai legend Seksan Or Kwanmuang in a bout that has banger written all over it.
Haggerty, who will headline the massive fight card in a champion vs. champion clash against Superlek Kiatmoo9, shared his excitement over seeing Harrison and Seksan meet on martial arts' biggest global stage. Haggerty told Inside Fighting:
"Yeah, I'm excited to see him fight against Seksan. That one is going to be fireworks."
Jonathan Haggerty defends his bantamweight Muay Thai title against Superlek at ONE 168: Denver
Not long after Liam Harrison and 'The Man Who Yields To No One' handle a bit of business inside the Circle, fight fans will be treated to one of the most anticipated main events of the year when two-sport king Jonathan Haggerty puts his ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship on the line against Superlek.
Last year, Jonathan Haggerty took the bantamweight division by storm, scoring back-to-back knockouts against Thai superstar Nong-O Hama and reigning ONE bantamweight MMA world champion Fabricio Andrade to win both the bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing crowns.
Since then, he's extended his streak of highlight-reel finishes with an incredible finish against 'Demolition Man' Felipe Lobo in the third round of their ONE Fight Night 19 clash.
Will Harrison keep his impressive string of finishes going, or will 'The Kicking Machine' shock the world and take another 26 pounds of gold back home to Thailand?
ONE 168: Denver will air live on Amazon Prime Video in U.S. primetime in both the United States and Canada on Friday, September 6. Follow this link for tickets to attend the event live at Ball Arena.
