"For me, it's easy" - Muay Thai icon Seksan on his balancing act as gym owner, father, world-class fighter

There aren't many Muay Thai competitors in the world that can match Seksan Or Kwanmuang when it comes to experience. At 35 years old, he's been there and done it all so nothing really surprises him at this stage in his career.

Of course, the Thai veteran has got battle scars and war stories that are proof of everything that he has done in his career.

What some may take for granted is that this kind of longevity comes with other challenges in life because whilst competing at the highest level is one thing, there is a life outside of competition.

Seksan competes because he loves it but he also supports his family by being a gym owner, all whilst being present with his loved ones. In a recent interview with ONE Championship, he spoke about how this hasn't been an issue for him throughout his years as an active fighter.

He believes that this balancing act is only a problem if you make it into one:

"For balancing the three hats, if you think it's hard, it's hard, but if you think it's easy, it's easy. For me, it's easy."

Seksan is leaving one of these aspects behind

Seksan will always be a father and his gym isn't going anywhere soon but his days as a top-level fighter are coming to an end. He was ready to hang up the gloves before he signed to ONE Championship and went on an incredible run on the ONE Friday Fights series.

This late-career resurgence has led him all the way to one of the biggest events of the year where he will compete in potentially his last career-defining clash.

'The Man Who Yields To No One' will be competing on US soil at ONE 168 where he takes on fellow veteran Liam Harrison in a must-see clash between two legends of the game at the Ball Arena on Sept. 6.
