Liam Harrison reiterated his excitement for the opportunity to fight fellow Muay Thai legend Seksan at ONE 168: Denver.

In August 2022, Harrison's fighting career was put on hold due to a knee injury suffered against then-bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O.

The UK superstar refused to let the setback prevent him from fighting again, as he overcame the surgery and recovery process.

On September 6, Harrison will make his highly-anticipated return to action when ONE Championship returns to North America. The 38-year-old's opponent for the 140-pound catchweight Muay Thai bout is fellow living legend Seksan Or Kwanmuang.

During an interview with the South China Morning Post, 'Hitman' had this to say about the opportunity to fight Seksan:

"Again, to fight him would be special. Just to have it there, and to say that I've thrown down with one of the best warlords of this era, it'll be another great thing to add to my resume."

ONE 168: Denver goes down inside Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado.

The September 6 event features two world title fights - Jonathan Haggerty (c) vs Superlek (bantamweight Muay Thai) and Kade Ruotolo (c) vs Mikey Musumeci (lightweight submission grappling). Tickets for next week's show can be found on Ticketmaster.

Seksan plans to return to win column against Liam Harrison

Seksan started his ONE Championship tenure with eight consecutive wins, mostly on the ONE Friday Fights circuit.

In April, 'The Man Who Yields To No One' suffered his first promotional loss when Yutaro Asahi shockingly defeated him by unanimous decision.

At 35 years old, the four-time Muay Thai world champion has enough gas left in the tank to continue entertaining fans. Seksan has an opportunity at ONE 168: Denver to silence the doubters and spoil Liam Harrison's return with a knockout win.

It'll be easier said than done for Seksan, as Harrison claimed he feels rejuvenated during his training camp. Only time will tell which Muay Thai legend can emerge victorious in front of the North American crowd.
