Thai legend Seksan Or Kwanmuang shares the same zeal as fellow icon Liam Harrison ahead of their must-watch showdown at ONE 168: Denver.
The pair of striking veterans meet in a 140-pound catchweight Muay Thai duel inside the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado, in a match that has all the makings of an instant classic.
Speaking to the South China Morning Post last week, Seksan shared:

"I'm super excited to face a legend like Liam Harrison because he's been in this for a long time, he's been fighting for a long time, and I've been following him for a long time."
The 35-year-old continued:
"I'm excited and thrilled to share the ring with him and to be a part of ONE 168: Denver."
As driven as he is to lock horns with one of the greatest British strikers of all time, the Bangkok-based fighter will need to be at his best to register a win over 'Hitman.'
Harrison's fan-friendly style has no room for kindness. The Leeds-based slugger rarely misses the target and has devastating knockout power in each of his limbs.
Take nothing away from Seksan, though. 'The Art of Eight Limbs' specialist has proved on numerous occasions that his high-octane style can hang with the very best. That theory will once again be put to the test when these legends cross paths at ONE 168: Denver on Sept. 6.

Entertainment is guaranteed when these icons go toe-to-toe inside the Ball Arena next month. Seksan certainly believes so.
Taking to Instagram last month, the Thai striker admitted that he's left no stone unturned to prep for the Bad Company athlete's firepower, predicting a surefire banger that will deliver for the masses in the Mile High City.
He wrote:
"This time I have to train hard to fight Liam Harrison. I think this fight will be fun and exciting for boxing fans."
