British Muay Thai superstar Liam Harrison has a dream scenario awaiting him at ONE 168: Denver next month, and he plans to make the moment count by handing Seksan Or Kwanmuang the first knockout loss of his tenure.

The pair square off in a 140-pound catchweight Muay Thai encounter on Saturday, 7 September, when ONE Championship takes over Denver, Colorado's Ball Arena in its first show back on U.S soil since May 2023.

The fight is one that Harrison has always had on his bucket list. He admires Seksan's ability to turn any bout into a slugfest. So, "Hitman" has prepared for a multitude of scenarios. But when the bell rings, the Leeds lad expects them all to go out the window.

"We've got a few game plans ready for when he goes into war mode. But, to be honest, when he starts going to war, I'll be comfortable going to war with him. I'll probably get told off in the corner by my coach, but I don't really care to be honest with you," Harrison said.

"At this point in my career, I'm going to do what I want to do. If I enjoy it and the fans enjoy it, I honestly don't care if I win or lose. I just want to get in there, enjoy myself, and make sure all the fans - everyone that has bought a ticket and everyone watching at home - get to watch two old war dogs collide in a great fight."

Throughout Seksan's tenure in ONE, "The Man Who Yields To No One" has won all but one of his contests. On eight prior occasions, he's ripped through the competition in must-see action, putting it all on the line every time.

When he steps inside the Circle with "Hitman," he, too, will refuse to yield. Despite Seksan being one of Harrison's all-time favorites, he's out to become the first man to stop the Thai great in ONE - and he promises nothing short of a barnburner for the entire duration.

"I'm looking to be the first guy to knock him out in ONE Championship. Only one person has stopped Seksan before and that was years ago. No one else has come close to looking like doing it," Harrison said.

"He hasn't fought anyone who hits anywhere near as sharp and as hard as I do in ONE, and he's been wobbled before. If he starts leaving himself wide open, I'll just check him straight out of there. I can knock anyone out with one shot.

"I just see it being one of the fights of the year. He's one of my heroes and I've always wanted to share the ring with him, so I'm going to make the most of it. Both fighters are going to put everything on the line and the best man will win on the night."
