“There’s nothing like it” - Striking legend Liam Harrison says nothing beats competing in ONE’s global stage

For striking legend Liam Harrison, there's nothing like competing in front of a packed stadium. For more than two decades, Harrison has been a mainstay in 'the art of eight limbs,' competing all over the world and making a name for himself with his exciting fighting style.

The three-time Muay Thai world champion faced some of the sport's biggest names even before he made his ONE Championship debut in 2018.

Since then, Harrison has gone toe-to-toe with the likes of Rodlek PK Saenchai, Muangthai PK Saenchai, former ONE world champions Petchmorakot Pethcyindee and Nong-O Hama, and Thai sensation Seksan Or Kwanmuang.

During a recent interview with the promotion, the 'Hitman' looked back on his legendary career and what he'll always remember most about competing on martial arts' biggest global stage.

“When you’re fighting in ONE and the stadiums are full, there’s nothing like it," Harrison said. "That’s the best part.”

Following his loss to 'The Man Who Yields To No One' at ONE 168: Denver, Harrison announced that he was officially hanging up his gloves. As it turns out, Liam Harrison isn't quite done yet.

Liam Harrison inspired to return by Thai legend Sam-A Gaiyanghadao

Not long after walking away from the sport, Harrison confirmed that he would compete one more time to give a proper farewell to his fans.

Aside from receiving an offer he couldn't refuse from ONE Championship to return, the 'Hitman' cited the recent resurgence of Thai legend Sam-A Gaiyanghadao who at 41 years old, has won back-to-back bouts against Akram Hamidi and 'Fighting Rooster' Zhang Peimian.

“It was supposed to be my last fight coming back, but let’s just see how it goes," Harrison added. "I’m looking at people like Sam-A, who have looked after themselves. He had some time off, and now he’s come back and doing so well, so it’s inspiring."
