Liam Harrison Muay Thai: “Actually brought me to tears”

Every fighter goes through a time when they feel training sessions are tougher than full-blown fights, and Liam Harrison is no exception.

The British Muay Thai and kickboxing legend recalled being brought to tears when he trained under the legendary Rajasak Sor Vorapin.

Harrison posted on Instagram how the multi-time Rajadamnern Stadium world champion had him on his toes when he first moved to Thailand as a 19-year-old upstart.

As Harrison put it, Rajasak was a calculated trainer who knew when to push him over his limit while testing his resolve for the striking arts.

Liam Harrison wrote:

“This man is a serious G. If you don’t know who it is shame on you. A golden era legend with 300 fights, never been KO’d, three-time Rajadamnern champion, and the most evil trainer I’ve ever worked with.

He added:

“He actually brought me to tears one day and I’m not even ashamed to say it. When I lived in Thailand I was 19 and was training for a world title fight against a real strong clincher. Every day from 3 pm he wouldn’t leave me alone making sure I was in the best place physically possible to fight a strong knee fighter. One day tho he started me training at 3 pm and at 7:45 he still had me in the ring battering me, kneeing me to bits, and padding me.”

That tough love ultimately developed Harrison’s cutthroat mentality, which he used in his legendary career.

Considered arguably the greatest British striker in history, Harrison is a multi-time Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion with 90 professional wins.

Liam Harrison says he’ll go one fight at a time in his improbable return

Liam Harrison often poked fun at his short-lived retirement, yet he’s already laid out the groundwork once he steps inside the ONE Championship Circle in 2025.

‘Hitman’ said in an interview with the promotion that he wants to remain active as much as possible as long as he doesn’t suffer any injuries during his fights.

“If I can do that, remain active, stay injury-free, I think I can do that. We’ll go one fight at a time and decide how I feel.”
