“Make it happen” - British legend Liam Harrison tells the next generation to train in Thailand to unlock their fullest potential

Even though Muay Thai grew exponentially in the United Kingdom, British legend Liam Harrison believes that the younger fighters should still make the trip to Thailand to unlock their fullest potential. Taking to Instagram, Harrison shared his wisdom for those who want to follow the path he laid for the current and next generation of British Muay Thai standouts.

Liam Harrison wrote:

"A few years ago, talking Thailand life with Joe [Rogan]. A serious shock to the system when I first moved there. I was there close to three years, had lots of fights there, and blessed to have worked with some incredible Golden Era Thai champions and learned so much."

He added:

"I would always say, however, to any youngsters who want to spend an extended period of time in Thailand to 100 percent do it. Get out there, fight as much as you can, and gain the experience, make memories, and create some amazing stories. This isn’t a dummy run, we’ve only got one chance to make these memories and to get after our dreams so make it happen. No regrets."

Harrison's experience in the birthplace of Muay Thai ultimately pushed him to legend status, and he's now seen as one of the greatest Muay Thai fighters from Great Britain and the West.

'Hitman' is a 90-win veteran who collected world titles across his legendary career that started as far back as 2000.

Following a short-lived retirement, Harrison rescinded the decision and said he would have one final run in ONE Championship before hanging up the gloves for good.

Harrison initially announced his retirement in September 2024 when he lost to fellow legend Seksan at ONER 168: Denver.
