Former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title challenger ‘Hitman’ Liam Harrison is getting very close to a highly anticipated return to the Circle.
The 37-year-old English veteran injured his knee last August 2022, in a bout against former king Nong-O Hama, and has been trying to recover ever since. He is expected to make a full recovery and is targeting a comeback in a few months’ time.
In fact, it appears Harrison has already gotten back to the swing of things, now training his hands in the ring once again.
In a recent post on Instagram, Harrison showed fans he still possessed the speed and power that has made him such an exciting fighter to watch.
