Liam Harrison is set to make a major ONE Championship comeback, with the icon claiming the promotion made him a massive offer.
The 8x Muay Thai world champion remains one of the most popular fighters in his sport.
Liam Harrison is returning to ONE Championship
At ONE 168, on September 6, at the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado, USA, Liam Harrison went head-to-head with Seksan Or. Kwanmuang in a clash between two combat sports icons.
In a battle for the ages, the Thai asserted his dominance, dropping the Leeds brawler with a devastating right hand.
However, rather than give up, Harrison showed remarkable fighting heart, rising to his feet and landing lethal shots of his own, before ultimately hitting the canvas once again.
But showcasing his will to win, ‘The Hitman’ rose to his feet, doing everything in his power to stay in the contest. Alas, after going down for a third time, the referee waved off the match. Regardless, fans around the world were left in awe at the warrior’s toughness.

Following the fight, Harrison left the small gloves in the cage, vowing to retire from the style of Muay Thai made famous by ONE Championship, in favor of having one last traditional bout at Hitman Fight League for the WBC Diamond title on March 8 at the Bowlers Exhibition Center in Manchester, UK.
However, he’s now been tempted to return to his old promotion for another roll of the dice.
The 39-year-old tweeted: “Two fights left yet… then I’m gone.” Before later adding: “Well, I was supposed to be retired from ONE championship…but they recently made me an offer I couldn’t really refuse, so I’m gonna have one more with them.”
