nown as one of the most ruthless and aggressive strikers out there, Liam “The Hitman” Harrison gave fans a sneak preview of the arsenals he is going to use against a fellow hard striker in Muangthai P.K. Saenchai on April 22 in ONE: Eersel vs. Sadikovic.
The British fighter took to Instagram to state his intention to go all out in a firefight from the time the bell rings. The short clip he uploaded shows him hitting the pads with his cousin, a fellow multiple-time Muay Thai World Champion Andy Howsen.
The video with the caption “War Ready” shows the world that the 36-year-old has an arsenal of dangerous techniques he will apply in his match-up. His impressive striking combination is sure to give anyone trouble, but the biggest threat comes from his left kicks, which have successfully guaranteed some wins in his 20-year career.
Despite facing a tough opponent in the former Lumpinee Muay Thai World Champion, the six-time Muay Thai World Champion is confident that he will earn the chance to challenge the king of the division, Nong-O Gaiyanghadao.

But confidence is not enough in facing Muangthai, Harrison will need a solid game plan in order to hand the Thai his first-ever loss. The Leeds native will have to maintain his high-paced fighting tempo, while still being clinical in his striking. He can also benefit from preparing one of his legendary tricks to gain the upper hand over his opponent.
Harrison should also take defence into account, as Muangthai has been known for his aggressive kicks and hands. “Hitman” will need to keep his guard up so none of the attacks come through.
Regardless of the winner, the audience is sure to enjoy this competitive match in the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
