ONE Championship: Liam Harrison says George Jarvis must be aggressive against Regian Eersel: “Kick his legs, kick his body”

The former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title challenger and English legend Liam ‘Hitman’ Harrison believes his fellow Brit ‘G-Unit’ George Jarvis has a good chance at dethroning Muay Thai king ‘The Immortal’ Regian Eersel if he stays aggressive.

The 38-year-old British striking icon says Jarvis has to employ relentless pressure to neutralize Eersel's come-forward nature. If Jarvis can do this, ‘Hitman’ believes his countryman has a shot at taking home the gold hardware.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Harrison detailed his strategic advice for the young Jarvis.
