Liam Harrison may be coming off a lengthy layoff due to a devastating knee injury, but that won't stop the 'Hitman' from putting on a show when he makes his long-awaited return at ONE 167.
After nearly two years on the shelf, Harrison is officially back as of June 7 when ONE Championship heads back to the iconic Impact Arena in Bangkok. There, Liam Harrison will square off with Japanese standout Katsuki Kitano.
Sharing his thoughts on Harrison's comeback, three-sport superstar Danial Williams believes that Harrison will deliver the excitement, just as he's always done, despite the recent injury.
