Former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title challenger ‘Hitman’ Liam Harrison can’t wait to step into the ONE Championship ring to challenge English compatriot ‘The General’ Jonathan Haggerty for his belts. However, the 38-year-old veteran is content with watching from the sidelines while he slowly gets back up to speed.
Harrison is currently recovering from a knee injury he suffered in mid-2022 but is nearing a hundred percent. He’s scheduled to return early next year.
Although he will eventually vouch for a showdown with Haggerty, who is the reigning and undisputed ONE bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion, ‘Hitman’ knows there’s a line of challengers out the door waiting for a crack at ‘The General’.

Speaking to the South China Morning Post in a recent interview, Harrison had this to say about Haggerty:
“I don't even know mate there's so many people queuing up for that belt. Now he's gonna have to defend his kickboxing belt, and he's gonna have to defend the Muay Thai belt too.”
Could we see Liam Harrison and Jonathan Haggerty throw down in the future? ONE Championship chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong says it could be the biggest fight in the United Kingdom’s history.
