"We haven't forgotten" - Despite retirement, Liam Harrison's legacy carries on with Muay Thai's ardent fans

British Muay Thai legend Liam Harrison's biggest fans are choosing to remember his career fondly after he announced his retirement following ONE 168: Denver on September 6, inside the Ball Arena.

Weeks after succumbing to a second-round TKO loss at the hands of Seksan Or Kwanmuang at ONE 168: Denver, 'Hitman' took to his Instagram to share his career highlights, with the accompanying caption:

​

"Win, lose or draw [I] Could stand with anyone in my prime. It's a shame I never got to show this version of me on ONE Championship. Just came a little bit too late. #muaythai #fightsport #fightlife"

Fans took to the comments section to give Harrison his well-deserved flowers:

​

"We haven't forgotten mate 🔥💣"

"Out of your prime you gave us the best 1 round fight of the CENTURY! 😮🔥⚔️"

"Prime Harrison could stand and trade with Rodtang."

"You fought a Prime Saenchai 3x, gave him hard fought battles. I don't think newer fans will ever realize how great you were in your prime. Technical Savagery 🔥"

ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong also wrote:

​

"A fight is a moment in time. A legend is forever. And there is no doubt that you are a LEGEND, mate!"

Liam Harrison built a 90-win career off his fearsome power and granite chin but admitted that his many years in combat sports have finally caught up to him.

During the ONE 168: Denver post-event press conference, the Bad Company star stated:

​

"When you got these little gloves on and stuff like that, I can't take the damage that I could take when I was still in my 20s and in my prime. It's just a shame."
