Liam Harrison talked about how several business ventures have set him up financially for his post-fight career.
At 39 years old, Harrison, a former 3x Muay Thai world champion, has entered the final chapter of his fighting career. Unlike many other fighters worldwide, 'Hitman' has made many smart decisions to ensure he has a smooth transition after retiring from competition.
Harrison will remain in combat sports through his promotion, Hitman Fight League, his highly successful gym, and his worldwide training seminars. During an interview with the South China Morning Post, he discussed this business ventures:
"I started doing these seminars probably 15 years ago, even maybe a little bit more, building up my reputation as a coach. And I’ve got all sorts of other things going on. I’m co-owner of one of probably the biggest gyms in UK now as well, so I’ve got stuff I want to do with that."
