Liam Harrison is not known to be in boring fights, and that is very unlikely to change when he trades leather with Seksan. The two striking legends will clash in a 140-pound catchweight Muay Thai match at ONE 168: Denver on Sept. 6 at the Ball Arena.

In an interview with Two Mates One Bag, Harrison detailed why he remains committed to putting on the most exciting fights despite nearing retirement.

Harrison said he's no longer in the business of chasing world titles, and all he wants is to put on the best possible show that fans will talk about for years.

He said:

"I've absolutely got a bit left in the tank, and I wouldn't have come back after this injury if I didn't think I could still provide all the fans, everyone who's paying money for a ticket with some good entertainment. It's an entertainment sport, we need to entertain, the crowd. It's not just about going in there and stealing a win and being boring. I want everyone to walk out of the arena in Denver and go 'F****** hell! Liam Harrison versus Seksan!"

Liam Harrison and Seksan are the perfect proponents of Muay Thai's hard-hitting style of the mid-2000s, and their showdown would show the world what they are fully capable of.

Having made his professional debut in the late 1990s, Harrison has amassed eight world titles and 90 career wins. Seksan, meanwhile, is a four-time Muay Thai world champion with 201 career wins under his belt.


Liam Harrison says he and Seksan didn't have to sell their fight in Denver

Sometimes there are fights when the two fighters don't even have to sell their matchup, and the meeting between Liam Harrison and Seksan is one such barnburner.

Harrison and Seksan hold each other in high regard and don't have to resort to trash talk to build their fight. Instead, their names alone are enough for fans to tune in and watch two battle-hardened veterans go at it in Denver.

In an interview with the South China Morning Post, Harrison said:

"This [is] a fight that sells itself. There don't have to be any trash talk, there don't have to be any nonsense, there don't have to be any bad blood or anything like that. You've just got two war-torn dogs [who love a scrap]."
