“If I can knock him out” - Nong-O Gaiyanghadao says he could send Liam Harrison into retirement with KO finish

ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O Gaiyanghadao is gearing up for a war with vicious British striker Liam Harrison. The two are scheduled to meet with the gold on the line in the co-main event of ONE on Prime Video 1 on August 26.

With over 260 career victories in combat sports, Nong-O is one of the most decorated Muay Thai and kickboxing practitioners in the world. Undefeated in the circle, the Thai superstar has earned three straight knockouts and intends on making it four when he faces Harrison

While speaking to ONE Championship, Nong-O Gaiyanghadao confirmed his plans to knock out the Englishman. According to the the Thai, he plans on finishing his opponent in a manner that will make him consider retirement:

“I feel that it may be too early for him to retire. If he believes he can go on, he will. However, in this upcoming fight, if I can knock him out, I think he has a 50-50 chance to think about his retirement.”

If anyone can live up to their word inside the circle, it’s Nong-O. The bantamweight Muay Thai king is capable of doing exactly what he says, but it won’t be an easy task against Harrison, who is notorious for pushing the pace and possessing a steel chin.
