British Muay Thai legend and former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title challenger 'Hitman' Liam Harrison of the United Kingdom is fighting at a 140-pound catchweight this weekend against Thai icon Seksan Or Kwanmuang.

And the 38-year-old veteran says he may as well stay below bantamweight since he feels so good and strong.

Speaking to the South China Morning Post in a recent interview, Harrison shared his thoughts on his upcoming showdown with 'The Man Who Yields To No One'.

'Hitman' said:

"Down at 140, I feel good at 140 pounds. Everyone's f***ing bigger than me at 145. At 140 there's even some good fights below that could make for a good fun fight with me, you know what I mean?"

As for a highly anticipated possible showdown with two-sport king Jonathan Haggerty, Harrison is open to facing the double bantamweight king, but doubts if that fight can be made.

Harrison added:

"So I would love to see ONE Championship come to England. Will it be me versus Haggerty? I don't see that happening, personally. I don't see how the stars can align for that to work."

Needless to say, fans eagerly await Harrison's epic return this weekend and the Englishman can't wait to deliver.
