Liam Harrison isn't getting carried away as he plans to make his long-awaited return to competition at ONE 167.
It has been a difficult road back to full fitness for the veteran but he believes that he has one last run in him before calling an end to his legendary career.
His first fight back after the knee injury he suffered against Nong-O in 2022 isn't necessarily the dream match-up that some may have been expecting.
In fact, that comes later on down the line when he faces Seksan at ONE 168: Denver on September 6.

Instead, Harrison will look to take on a hungry competitor in Katsuki Kitano, who is deep in his preparation for the biggest fight of his career.
With all of his experience in this game, 'Hitman' knows better than to overlook or underestimate any opponent, especially one that has a point to prove.
Liam Harrison told ONE Championship ahead of his bantamweight Muay Thai duel that Kitano isn't someone he can afford to take lightly:
"That's the risk when you're fighting some up-and-coming fighter - they want to take your scalp because it'll propel them into stardom."
Liam Harrison wants to bring his best at ONE 167
Having nearly had his career ended via an injury rather than bowing out on his own terms, Liam Harrison isn't short on motivation either.
He wants to put in a few more vintage displays that have turned him into a fan favorite during his lengthy career.
Whilst his body physically allows him to do it, you can expect to see Harrison give his all when he steps in there. While, he is a different man than he was back in 2022, his mentality hasn't changed one bit.
Katsuki Kitano won't be taking on a fading or over-the-hill version of 'Hitman', not while the multi-time Muay Thai world champion can still step in there and hang with the very best in the business.
ONE 167 will air live from the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, next Friday, June 7. North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription can catch the entire card live in U.S. primetime for free.
