“They’ll remember you for the fights you were in” – Liam Harrison explains why becoming an exciting fighter means more than titles

British striking sensation ‘Hitman’ Liam Harrison knows a thing or two about being in exciting fights. In fact, he’s rarely ever in a boring fight. Every time Harrison is in the ring, fans can expect a barnburner.

The veteran ONE Championship fighter from the United Kingdom says entertaining the fans and putting on a show is important – more important than even winning world titles.

Speaking to the South China Morning Post in a recent interview, Harrison says putting on exciting fights and giving his best performance is all he cares about as a fighter.

The 38-year-old said:

“The older and wiser I've got, I've realized titles do not mean a thing. They look nice on your f***ing mantelpiece, but no one's going to remember you. No one's going to remember you for you what you were on the mantelpiece. They’ll remember you for the fights you were in.”

Harrison can’t wait to make his highly anticipated return to action, which comes in early 2024 against another dangerous opponent.
