Things are starting to heat between two-sport king Jonathan Haggerty and Muay Thai legend Liam Harrison.
For years, fight fans have dreamed of seeing two of the UK's greatest strikers—Haggerty and Harrison—step inside the Circle and find out who England's best truly is. With 'The General' currently reigning as both the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion, and the 'Hitman' a couple of months away from his long-awaited return to action, we could be closer than ever to finally see the two warriors throw hands-on martial arts' biggest global stage.
Recently, Harrison took to social media, to respond to a comment from Haggerty who insisted that he would confront the 'Hitman' face-to-face and personally challenge him if given the opportunity.
Harrison claims that he had seen Haggerty multiple times while in Thailand, but 'The General' never once acknowledged him or even looked in his direction. Taking to X, Harrison wrote:

"Literally saw him 10x last week in Thailand and he wouldn’t even look at me".
Responding to Harrison's comment via his Instagram Stories, 'The General' snapped back alleging that the 'Hitman' kept his head down every time they came across one another. Haggerty wrote:
"Is this clown for real! Put his f***ing head down every time we crossed paths. Social media is killing people".
