Liam Harrison won't be changing strategy against the great Nong-O

Nong-O Gaiyanghadao and Liam Harrison are among the highest-skilled and most-exciting fighters in combat sports. The veteran Muay Thai strikers have a combined 40 years of fighting experience and over 440 official bouts.

Harrison and Nong-O will both be aiming for a knockout finish in this highly anticipated fight. The Thai-born bantamweight king has ruled this division with iron-like authority since he captured the gold in 2019.

His British rival knows exactly how skilled the champion is, but will still be looking for the KO. Speaking to ONE, 'The Hitman' Harrison said:

“I know what level of skill this man is on. I’m not an idiot, he’s one of the most skillful fighters [of all time]. So what else am I going to do? I’m not going to change my style now just because I’m coming across one of the best fighters of all time. I’m going to fight Liam Harrison style because that’s what got me to where I am today. I’m not going to start trying to out-technique him or run away. I’m not about that. I’m about heart, grit, hard punches, hard kicks, and just coming to entertain and look for the knockout."

The fight will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime Video at US primetime on August 26, and will be the co-main event for ONE on Prime Video 1: Moraes vs. Johnson II.
