“He’s made out of stone” - Liam Harrison says he must bring his A-Game to knock out extremely durable foe Soe Lin Oo

At this point, Liam Harrison's not fighting out of necessity - he's fighting out of a love for fighting. And what he loves even more is getting a good challenge out of it.

That's exactly what he's getting at ONE 173 in Denver, where he'll be testing his skills against Myanmar's legendary striker, Soe Lin Oo. With a moniker like "The Man of Steel," Harrison's up for a real treat.

Speaking with South China Morning Post, Liam Harrison expressed his excitement for the upcoming match:

"It’ll be a good fight. It’s like styles makes fight, and you know what you’re going to get from both of us. The guy’s an absolute f***ing rock, isn’t he? He’s made out of stone."

“I take it as a challenge” - Liam Harrison wants to score the improbable KO over Soe Lin Oo in Denver firefight

No one's ever knocked Soe Lin Oo out, but Liam Harrison would very much like to change that.

"The guy’s called 'The Man of Steel' for a reason," he said. "And they say he can’t be knocked out, I want to try. I take it as a challenge, so let’s see."

It's not about chasing highlights or proving something to anyone else - for Harrison, it's just about seeing if it can be done.

With only two fights left on his contract, Harrison could've taken a safer opponent. Instead, he picked someone who will push him harder. And while he's not putting pressure on himself, don't mistake that for a lack of fire.

"I’m putting no pressure on myself. I’ve got two fights left on my contract, so I’m putting no pressure on myself, one fight at a time. And I’ll just see where I go from there."

Liam Harrison vs Soe Lin Oo will clash inside the ring at ONE 173: Denver on August.
