“Wiley old fox” Liam Harrison goes full sprint against training partner and former champ Andy Howson in preparation for Seksan
Liam Harrison is out to prove to the world that he's far from over. The British Muay Thai and kickboxing legend is back from his two-year injury layoff and will face Thai icon Seksan at ONE 168: Denver on September 6 at Ball Arena.
The two striking legends will clash in a 140-pound catchweight Muay Thai bout, and Harrison is as excited as any for his impending return.
Harrison has been hard at work at Bad Company, his home gym in Leeds, England, along with old friend and former world champion Andy Howson. In an Instagram post, Liam Harrison showed a clip of his training camp while doing some hard sparring with the former ONE Championship fighter.
He posted:
"One for one. The wiley old fox still got a few sneak moves @andybadco1 🦊"
Harrison and Howson have a combined 13 world titles and they held nothing back during their sparring session.
Proponents of the hard-hitting Muay Thai style of the early 2000s, the two veterans were throwing everything at each other and their sparring session could be a precursor to what Harrison brings to Denver against Seksan.
Harrison, who has 90 wins on his resume, has been clamoring for a match against Seksan, and he'll finally get his wish in less than three weeks.
Tickets for ONE 168 are available at Ticketmaster.
Liam Harrison is candid on his plans for retirement
Liam Harrison has long been aware that his time at the sport's highest level is about to end, and that's why he wants to put his fate in his own hands. In an interview with The FullerWatt Podcast, Harrison expunged any rumors that his super fight against Seksan in Denver would be his last-ever fight.
Harrison, however, explained that he'll listen to his body if he still has enough gas left to go on one final multi-fight run.
"I'm not setting any timeline [on retirement], but it's step by step, fight by fight, and maybe my body will tell me when it's time to hang it up, you know what I mean?"
