WATCH: British legend Liam Harrison is pure venom in preparation for his impending return from retirement

Liam Harrison is feeling rejuvenated and eager to tackle new challenges in 2025.

“The Hitman” is penciled to suit up for a Hitman Fight League event on March 3, before aiming for a summer comeback to ONE Championship.

Recent training footage shared by the promotion on Instagram shows the British Muay Thai legend looking as sharp as ever, sparking excitement among fans.

Check out the clip below:

Harrison came close to retiring in 2022 after suffering a devastating injury during his ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title bout against Thai superstar Nong-O Hama.

In that fight, he tore his ACL, MCL, and meniscus — an ordeal that forced him to take a step back from competition and nearly ended his storied career.

Following surgery and a grueling year-long recovery in 2023, Harrison rekindled his passion for the sport and worked on returning to the global stage.

In September 2024, the Englishman stepped back into the Circle at ONE 168, where he faced off against fellow knockout artist Seksan Or Kwanmuang in a thrilling bout that ended in a second-round TKO loss for Harrison.

After the match, Harrison left his gloves in the middle of the cage, a symbolic gesture of retirement. But in a later interview with ONE, the 39-year-old revealed that he wasn’t quite ready to hang up his gloves for good:

“I think after ONE 168, I may have just spat my dummy out because I’d not fought for so long and my emotions were high. I was so looking forward to coming back, and it didn’t go my way, so maybe I was too hard on myself.”
