Liam Harrison needs more time to get ready for battle but that hasn’t stopped the Leeds striker from dreaming of his return to the ONE Championship stage.
The 37-year-old suffered a loss to then-ONE Muay Thai World Bantamweight Champion Nong-O Hama when they fought at ONE on Prime Video 1 in August last year.
His knee took a shot too many from the start, and a final shot just to the kneecap dropped him within 130 seconds of the duel.
It’s been a long road of recovery for the multiple world champion, who has restructured his daily activities largely because he’s mostly been in the gym sharpening his tools or training the next batch of West Yorkshire warriors.
But after nearly a year away from his path to full fitness, Liam Harrison remains optimistic about his chances of returning and fighting for the Muay Thai bantamweight crown in the future.
In an interview with LastBSTN, the “Hitman” shared his ideal scenario:
“I think I just need two or three wins to get back into competition and I think I have the attitude and ability to put myself back in that position.”
