Earlier this year, Liam Harrison underwent surgery following a devastating knee injury. Now, ‘Hitman’ is eyeing a potential return to the circle this fall.
Harrison is undoubtedly one of the most beloved fighters in ONE Championship thanks to his high-octane style of fighting and his never-give-up attitude. His absence from the circle has been felt by fans around the world, but it may not be much longer before he makes his way back after more than a year on the shelf.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Harrison revealed that he is eyeing a potential return to action in October. As for how he managed to bounce back so fast, ‘Hitman’ stated that he has kept busy in the gym and has not missed a single session of rehab.
“I've literally had the best team around me at the moment. I've not missed a day of rehab. Not been lazy, not got bored... There were days that I didn't wanna do it, but I made sure I've done something. And I think that's why I've been able to bounce back quicker than most.”

The last time fans saw Liam Harrison inside the circle was in his first ONE world title bid against former champion Nong-O Hama at ONE on Prime Video 1. Harrison tragically suffered a leg kick KO just past the two-minute mark of the very first round.
Since then, Nong-O has dropped the title to another UK standout, Jonathan Haggerty, potentially setting the stage for an all-Brit battle with the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title hanging in the balance.
