Liam Harrison has ended his legendary Muay Thai career at age 40, bringing the curtain down on a remarkable journey that spanned 120 professional fights. The Leeds fighter, who suffered a devastating knee injury against Nong-O in 2022, made his retirement official after realizing the damage to his body was irreversible.

Harrison, from Harehills, emerged as the modern trailblazer for British Muay Thai, setting new standards for UK fighters. After an early career reality check when a Thai fighter battered him despite two knockdowns, Harrison traveled to Thailand where he endured six months of brutal training before elevating his skills to compete at the highest level.

His most iconic moment came in Singapore during a ONE Championship bout with Muangthai P.K. Saenchai. Despite being knocked down twice in the opening round, Harrison staged one of combat sport's most stunning comebacks, flooring his opponent multiple times to claim victory. This fight epitomized his fighting spirit and resilience.

Harrison capped his career by defeating Isaac Araya to win a WBC Diamond belt in his farewell contest last year. "I couldn't even dream of everything I've achieved," he reflected on a legacy that transformed British Muay Thai on the global stage.
