Muay Thai fans, get ready! The long-awaited return of Liam “Hitman” Harrison is just around the corner. After nearly two years out of action due to injury, Harrison is set to step back into the ring at ONE 167: Stamp vs. Zamboanga on June 7. His opponent? The rising Japanese star, Katsuki Kitano.
Harrison’s absence from the fight scene was a result of a knee injury suffered during his world title bout against Nong-O Hama in August 2022. Now, the Leeds striker is eager to prove that he’s still as vicious and ferocious as ever. His comeback clash against Kitano is a chance to remind fans why he’s a Muay Thai legend.
Don’t underestimate Katsuki Kitano. The Japanese fighter has been making waves in the bantamweight division. His striking skills and determination have caught the attention of fight enthusiasts. Facing Harrison is a massive opportunity for Kitano to make a name for himself on the global stage.
Liam Harrison isn’t just aiming for a win; he wants to do it in style. In an interview, he expressed his desire for a quick victory and the accompanying performance bonus. Remember, Harrison previously bagged a $100,000 bonus for his sensational comeback win against Muangthai PK Saenchai. Now, he’s eyeing another hefty paycheck.
