“The meaning of a warrior” - Fans are hyped for British legend Liam Harrison’s impending comeback
Liam Harrison will rise like a phoenix.
The British fan favorite is nearing his long-awaited return to the Circle after suffering a devastating knee injury in his first ONE world title opportunity against former bantamweight Muay Thai king Nong-O Hama at ONE on Prime Video 1 nearly two years ago. Undergoing surgery, the ‘Hitman’ spent the majority of his 2023 rehabbing. Now, he’s ready to step back inside the ring and make his comeback a memorable one.
“I'll rise again #comebackseason,” Harrison wrote on Instagram.
ONE Championship fans showered Liam Harrison with support in the comments section, writing:
“Seeing how sincere you are about fighting and your desire to continue it is phenomenal. Rare case nowadays when a lot of fighters consider money aspect of it first (no shaming, just saying). Best of luck, Liam!”
“THE MEANING OF A WARRIOR 🔥🙏🏻🥊🏴”
“Class act, in and out of the square circle 👏”
“Comeback King 🔥🤴”
“When people talk of the best, I instantly think of this warrior.”
“You didn’t fall”
Liam Harrison nearly called it quits after undergoing knee surgery
As excited as the ‘Hitman’ is to finally strap on the four-ounce gloves again, there was a point where Liam Harrison strongly considered calling it quits on his combat sports career. Speaking with the South China Morning Post, Harrison revealed:
“I was very close to even retiring because I thought, I'm 38, I've had all these fights… 120 fights nearly in my pro, 92 wins 52 knockouts. I thought what else is it for me to do here?”
Fortunately for Muay Thai fans, Harrison has decided to make one more run before hanging up his gloves for good.
