Liam Harrison looking sharp while rehabbing from injuries

'The Hitman' Liam Harrison had an incredible win and a heartbreaking loss in 2022. First, he had the Muay Thai Fight of the Year against 'The Elbow Zombie' Muangthai PK.Saenchai.

After the war, he earned a shot at ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world titleholder Nong-O Gaiyanghadao. After absorbing a few leg kicks in round one, Harrison was unable to continue due to a knee injury.

In an interview with ONE Championship, Harrison said:

“This sport gives you the highest highs and the lowest lows. Obviously, the Muangthai fight was about as high as you can get, and then the rest of the year for me has been a low."

The British striker would later get surgery on his knee and is now recovering. In a recent post on Instagram, Harrison is looking pretty sharp hitting the pads. The UK-born fighter shared:

"Sunday drills with the boys working speed and power ... technique a bit sloppy but this was round 8."

Meanwhile, Nong-O Gaiyanghadao had a great year. He has now earned six consecutive world title defenses of his ONE bantamweight Muay Thai World Championship The Thai striker is planning to add his seventh at ONE Lumpinee 1 on January 20 against Alaverdi Ramazanov.
