"I am flattered he calls me a hero" - Seksan honored to receive Liam Harrison's respect ahead of ONE 168 clash

Liam Harrison is indeed one of the remaining true OGs in the striking arts.

'Hitman' knows firsthand how hard it is to be a fixture in such an unforgiving sport and has high respect for his fellow battle-tested warriors who are still going hard after all these years.

It comes as no surprise that Harrison has nothing but kind words to say for his upcoming ONE 168: Denver opponent Seksan Or Kwanmuang.

These two iconic berserkers will trade with bad intentions on September 6 inside Ball Arena, in the promotion's highly-awaited return to US soil.

In the build-up to this all-legends match, Liam Harrison made it clear that he called out Seksan out of love and admiration.

The feeling is mutual for 'The Man Who Yields To No One', who responded in kind in a ONE Championship interview:

"I'm glad he called me out. He's a legend. I follow him too. He's a heavy hitter. I'm glad he said he wanted to fight a legend from Thailand. I am flattered he calls me a hero."

While it's all love between these two, for now, we're certain all respect goes out the window once the bell rings at ONE 168: Denver. Tickets for this event are available via Ticketmaster.

Liam Harrison raring to trade strikes with "lunatic" Seksan

Liam Harrison and Seksan are practically two peas in a pod when it comes to their fondness for dishing out violence.

After almost two years off due to a knee injury, the British slugger certainly yearns for a good old scrap. Harrison knows he'll get the slugfest he seeks against the Thai mauler.

'Hitman' told the South China Morning Post:

"Everyone knows how he fights. He fights like a complete f***ing lunatic, innit? Elbows, knees, flying knees, jumping attacks, spinning attacks. You know what you're in for when you get in the ring with him. And that's what excites me about it."
