"Inspired an entire generation" - Fans show their love for Liam Harrison's impact on the overall landscape of Muay Thai

Former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title challenger Liam Harrison remains one of the most influential fighters in combat sports history even after officially announcing his retirement in his last fight against Seksan Or Kwanmuang in the co-main event of ONE 168: Denver on Sept. 6 inside the Ball Arena in Colorado.

Recently, Harrison posted three clips from his fights early in his career and penned an inspirational message. Part of the lengthy caption he wrote read:

"Every fighter out there never ever turn down an opportunity and always stay ready to take whatever comes you way, make memories and crazy stories and enjoy every second of it...it won's last forever 💙 #muaythai #fighterslife"

The 'Hitman' shared that in three months, he was able to beat three top opponents in three different countries to begin a legendary path to superstardom.

This post by the British superstar not only inspired his fans but also made them appreciate his greatness and contribution to the sport, as users @peteyb561, @darren_scriven, @beckhxh, @sempaigullermo, @jmoneyyy876, and @10th.legion commented:

"You've inspired an entire generation. Literally a walking highlight"

"Pink hitman days were my favourite 💪🏻 used to watch now is the time thai show at 4am channel 5 to catch the fights"

"17 yo beast. And now, a legend. 🙏🏻🔥"

Nong-O thinks Liam Harrison should fight one last time in front of his home fans in England

Former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O Hama may have been a rival to Harrison once when the Bad Company representative challenged him for his 26-pound golden belt in August 2022, but he still respects him and thinks that one last hurrah would be fitting for Harrison.

In his most recent interview with the South China Morning Post, Nong-O believes Harrison should unretire for one more fight in front of his home fans in England because it would be a massive event there.

The Thai icon said:

"I think it would be great. No matter where he would be fighting, or no matter what kind of gloves he would be wearing. I think his last fight would be a great fight. It would be big. And if I have a chance, I would love to watch him live."
