Liam Harrison wants extra time to get himself fight-ready, however that hasn’t stopped the Leeds striker from dreaming of his return to the ONE Championship stage.
The 37-year-old suffered a defeat to then-ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O Hama once they slugged it out at ONE on Prime Video 1 in August final yr.
His knee took one shot too many from the get-go, and a closing shot simply off the kneecap dropped him inside 130 seconds of their duel.
It has been an extended highway to restoration for the multi-time world champion, who has restructured his each day actions primarily as a result of most of it concerned him being on the gymnasium sharpening his instruments or coaching the subsequent batch of warriors from West Yorkshire.
However with him having cleared nearly a yr off his path to full health, Liam Harrison stays optimistic about his probabilities to return and compete for the bantamweight Muay Thai crown sooner or later.
In an interview with LastBSTN, the ‘Hitman’ shared his preferrred state of affairs:
“I believe it’ll solely take me two or three wins to get myself again in competition, and I believe I’ve bought the mindset and skill to get myself again in that place.”

Jonathan Haggerty, who introduced an finish to the legendary Thai’s dominance, is now Liam Harrison’s goal.
The London native shocked the world and his rival together with his boxing mixtures at ONE Combat Evening 9, securing his gold and a press release knockout inside 2:40 of the opening spherical.
As such, a legendary all-English struggle for the world title may very well be on the playing cards if the ‘Hitman’ from Leeds returns with a bang.
