"I’ve got two fights left on my ONE contract. I’d like to do them both, but I’m not putting any pressure on myself. I’m going to take it one fight at a time, see where we’re at."
Harrison's loss against Seksan was his first fight after suffering a devastating knee injury against Nong-O Hama that forced him to sit on the shelf for more than two years.

Understandably, Liam Harrison felt like the injury had cut his career shorter than he had hoped. However, the three-time Muay Thai world champion is feeling good and believes he could potentially fight for a couple more years. Nevertheless, the Brit is not putting any pressure on himself and plans to go with the flow.
"I [Liam Harrison] feel good at the minute. I know if I wanted to, I could fight for another couple of years, but I'm not putting pressure on myself. I'm just going to see where we're at after this fight."
Harrison is one of Muay Thai's most beloved strikers, particularly in England, where he's become one of the biggest stars in the history of the sport.
With 90 career wins and championship belts aplenty, 'The Hitman' has nothing left to prove.
