Veteran British striker Liam Harrison is not yet done competing in ONE Championship as initially thought following his last match back in September. He, however, said that he is going to take it a step at a time in resuming his campaign.

'Hitman' shared this in a recent interview with the promotion, where he spoke of his martial arts journey of late and where it is heading in the coming year.

The 39-year-old Bad Company standout said:

“If I can do that, remain active, stay injury-free, I think I can do that. We’ll go one fight at a time and decide how I feel.”

Liam Harrison made his long-awaited return to ONE action in September at ONE 168: Denver after two years as he recovered from a knee injury. It was a rough comeback, however, as he fell to fellow veteran Seksan Or Kwanmuang by TKO in the second round.

After the defeat, he left his gloves inside the Circle while sharing that it was his last match in ONE and was looking to have one more fight in England to say his farewell to his supporters. He has since changed his plans and is now looking to continue to be active.

Lian Harrison has had a professional career spanning over two decades now, with the last six years having him also competing in ONE, where he is one of the noted Muay Thai fighters in the roster.

Liam Harrison says training in Thailand helped him in his career

Liam Harrison has built a successful career as a martial artist in over two decades, which also took him to Thailand where he said he grew a lot as a fighter.

He spoke about his stay in the Southeast Asian country in an interview with the South China Morning Post in the lead-up to his most recent match last September, highlighting how it was a move that paid dividends for him as it expanded his training regimen and knowledge of his craft.

Harrison said:

"Yeah, 100 percent. I think that was the best move I ever made, when I went to live in Thailand for a couple of years, came to grips with their training there, and their style of fighting and stuff like that. And ever since then, that's why I always say, it's consistency. That's the key."
