British striker Liam Harrison is now at the tail end of his long and illustrious career but is ready for the next chapter of his life when he calls it a day with finality.
'Hitman' spoke about it in an interview with the South China Morning Post, highlighting how apart from competing, his ventures outside of it have prepared him for life beyond the game.
The 39-year-old Leeds native said:
"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."

Liam Harrison returns to action at ONE 173
While many thought they had seen the last of Liam Harrison in the ring following his last match back in September in the United States, he pivots and is set to return to ONE Championship action later this year.
The Bad Company standout is confirmed for ONE 173: Denver on Aug. 1. He will go up against Soe Lin Oo of Myanmar in a bantamweight Muay Thai match, part of the event marking the return of ONE Championship to the U.S. for the third straight year.
Harrison saw action at ONE 168 also in Denver in September last year, his first match back in two years following a knee injury. He, however, lost by TKO to Thai Seksan Or Kwanmuang.
Following the contest, he suggested that it was his last match in ONE Championship. He said the promotion offered him an opportunity that was too good to pass up and now his girding for his return.
