Despite his best efforts, Liam Harrison couldn't put 'The Man Who Yields To No One' Seksan Or Kwanmuang away in Denver, Colorado.
After two years on the shelf, 'The Hitman' returned to the Circle at ONE 168: Denver at Ball Arena in The Mile High City for a massive Muay Thai matchup against Seksan. For two and a half rounds, the two combat sports legends let their hands go in a display of violence that had fight fans around the world sitting on the edge of their seat.
In the end, it was Seksan who came out on top, scoring a second-round TKO against Harrison, prompting the 38-year-old Brit to lay down his gloves and announce his retirement from the sport.

Appearing at the post-fight press conference, Liam Harrison couldn't help but marvel at the brick-like chin of his opponent, saying:
"We were on autopilot swinging around, trying to catch him but to no avail because the guy had an absolute brick chin."
Win or lose against Liam Harrison, Seksan never once contemplated retirement
While his mind for fighting remains sharp, Liam Harrison recognizes that his body simply can't take the damage it used to.
On the flip side, Seksan—who's only a few years younger than Harrison—still feels sharp and is confident that even if he'd come up short against 'The Hitman,' he would have plenty more to give the sport he loves so much. Here's what Seskan said at the press event:
"If I would have lost tonight, I would have still continued my career. And, you know, it's Muay Thai, there are days where you win and lose. But I still have it."
With the win over Harrison, Seksan is now 9-1 under the ONE Championship banner with three of his victories coming by way of knockout—a very impressive stat when you consider that the Thai superstar just made his promotional debut in January 2023.
