Liam Harrison said he wants to “enjoy” his long-awaited fight with Seksan Or Kwanmuang and has not even prepared a game plan.
The two go head-to-head in Denver for ONE 168 on Friday in a catchweight Muay Thai bout.
The English fighter turns 39 next month and is determined to savour every second until retirement.
“I just want to enjoy everything because I don’t know when it will be my last time and I will look back and say: ‘I wish I could still do that’,” Harrison said. “I’m not even bothering with a game plan for this fight. I’m going to get in there and enjoy myself.”
At 35, Seksan is also in the twilight of his career and Harrison said there is great respect between the veterans.

“This fight sells itself, there does not have to be any trash talk or bad blood. You’ve just got two war-torn dogs who like getting in there and having a good bust up,” Harrison said. “I like this style of fight, Seksan loves this style of fight. It’s going to be amazing.”
This will be Harrison’s first fight in over two years, having been sidelined since August 2022 when he suffered a serious knee injury in his loss to Nong-O Gaiyanghadao.
It meant he had plenty of time to contemplate his next move, but Harrison only had eyes for Seksan.
Given his age, Harrison said he is unlikely to ever fight for a ONE Championship belt again.
There had been rumours about an ell-English battle with bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing champion Jonathan Haggerty, with whom there is no love lost.
But Harrison doubted it was a fight which would ever likely materialise.
“I don’t see that happening personally, I don’t see how the stars can align for that,” Harrison said.
