British Muay Thai cornerstone Liam Harrison is not allowing distractions to creep into his mind ahead of his catchweight (140 pounds) Muay Thai showdown with fellow legend Seksan Or Kwanmuang at ONE 168: Denver on Friday, Sept. 6, inside the Ball Arena.
During the ONE 168: Denver pre-fight press conference, 'Hitman' was asked about whether fans would ever see him fight ONE bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion Jonathan Haggerty, to which he responded:
"I'm just taking it one fight at a time in a minute. I'm not putting pressure on myself, I'm not looking past this, and we'll see what happens."
The growing fan interest in seeing Harrison duke it out with 'The General' stems from the many instances of them throwing shade at each other in interviews and on social media.
Last year, the Bad Company product slammed the 27-year-old in an interview with ONE Championship for calling him an easy fight, stating:
"He's [Haggerty] never really shown me any respect at all, and I think that was a pretty disrespectful comment."
Seksan believes Liam Harrison bout at ONE 168 will end in a finish
Liam Harrison and Seksan built their careers by knocking out their foes. Seksan expects that his Muay Thai clash with the United Kingdom star at ONE 168: Denver will end the same way.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda MMA, 'The Man Who Yields To No One' said:
"Personally, I have a strong belief that this fight will not go the distance. But if we can fight until the last bell rings, it's going to be [a] fierce three rounds."
