Seksan voiced his respect for Yutaro Asahi, the first Muay Thai fighter to defeat him in ONE Championship.
In January 2023, Seksan made his ONE Championship debut, defeating Tyson Harrison by split decision. 'The Man Who Yields To No One' followed up his first promotional appearance with seven more wins on the ONE Friday Fights series.
On April 5, Seksan attempted to extend his ONE record to 9-0 when he fought Yutaro Asahi at ONE Friday Fights 58. The Japanese-born Asahi had other plans for his promotional debut and pulled off a significant upset by unanimous decision.

"His work and power was amazing. I feel like I had a lot of injuries even in the first round, my ribs were fractured and my nose too. So I couldn’t really breathe through the nose and I had to breathe through my mouth. But I didn’t give up. I wanted to fight and go the full match."

Seksan looks to bounce back against Liam Harrison at ONE 168: Denver
On September 6, Seksan returns to action and plans to secure his ninth promotional win. To do so, the 35-year-old must get through fellow Muay Thai legend Liam Harrison when they meet at ONE 168: Denver.
Harrison started his ONE debut with back-to-back losses before moving from featherweight to bantamweight. 'Hitman' proved his decision was the right move, as he knocked out Mohammed Bin Mahmoud and Muangthai in round one, leading to a title shot against then-world champion Nong-O.
Nong-O wouldn't be denied in August 2022, as he landed brutal leg kicks against Harrison before winning by first-round TKO. 'Hitman' later needed surgery due to the damage and hasn't fought again before booking his matchup against Seksan.
At ONE 168, Harrison plans to complete his comeback story and capitalize on the matchup he requested. It'll be intriguing to see if the 38-year-old can deliver another entertaining battle and emerge victorious by knockout.
Tickets for ONE 168, including Harrison vs Seksan, can be found on Ticketmaster.
