Liam Harrison is bound for Denver and ready to unleash nothing but pure excitement on The Mile High City. The British Muay Thai and kickboxing legend recently took to Instagram to reveal he's left for Colorado almost a week before his super fight against Thai icon Seksan at ONE 168: Denver.

Seksan and Harrison, two of the best Muay Thai fighters from the 2000s, will square off in a 140-pound catchweight fight on Sept. 6 at Ball Arena.

Liam Harrison shared he's finally wrapped up training camp in his hometown of Leeds, England, and that he's already well-equipped to face Seksan in the dream match he's asked the ONE Championship brass for nearly two years.

He posted on Instagram:

"Denver bound with my team. All the hard work is done, I'm ready mentally and physically. Shout out to @boxdaltitude for helping me prep for the altitude in Denver. Such a class little setup and will defo be keeping up training in the chamber when I'm back 👊 #denver #muaythai #altitudetraining."

Harrison is coming off a two-year injury layoff after his left knee was torn to shreds in his world title challenge against then-ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O Hama in Aug. 2022.

He's since undergone surgery and stem cell treatment to repair the damaged knee and is more than ready to square off against Seksan in Denver.

Tickets for ONE 168 are available at Ticketmaster.


Liam Harrison bows to Seksan's nickname, says Thai legend more than earned the coolest moniker

Nicknames are often used to elevate a fighter's mythos, and Seksan's moniker is the stuff of Muay Thai legend.

Unofficially called the old man of Muay Thai, Seksan's rightful nickname is the menacingly-sounding 'The Man Who Yields To No One'.

Liam Harrison, who owns the equally cool 'Hitman' alter ego, said in an interview with the South China Morning Post that Seksan more than earned the nickname due to his larger-than-life fighting style.

"You know what, if anyone has earned a right to that nickname, it's this guy, really. He's one of the toughest, hardest warriors that you're ever going to come across. His heart is unbelievable. His toughness is unbelievable. His chin is ridiculous."

Seksan's accolades alone prove why he's called such a nickname. The 35-year-old is a 201-win veteran and captured world titles under Rajadamnern, WBC, Channel 7, and Omnoi.
