Every fighter goes through times when they feel that training is more difficult than the big fights, and Liam Harrison is no exception.
The British muay thai and kickboxing legend recalled how he was brought to tears while training under legendary Rajasak Sora Vorapin.
Harrison posted on Instagram how the multiple world champion grabbed his fingers at the Rajadamnern Stadium when he first moved to Thailand as a 19-year-old.
As Harrison saidRajasak was a calculating coach who knew when to push him over the limit while testing his determination for batting skills.

“This man is serious Mr. If you don’t know who he is, shame on you. Golden era legend with 300 fights, never knocked out, three-time Rajadamnerna champion and the meanest trainer I’ve ever worked with.
He added:
“He actually made me cry one day and I’m not ashamed to say it. When I was living in Thailand, I was 19 and I was training for a world title fight against a real strong clincher. Every day from 3pm he wouldn’t Don’t leave me alone to be in the best possible place to fight a strong fighter on his knees. One day he started training me at 3:45, and at 7:45 the ring was still holding me down, kneeling me on my knees to pieces and lining.”
That tough love eventually developed Harrison’s butcher mentalitywhich he used in his legendary career.
Considered to be arguably the greatest British striker in history, Harrison is a multiple muay thai and kickboxing world champion with 90 professional victories.
Liam Harrison says he will take it one fight at a time in his incredible comeback
Liam Harrison often scoffed at his short-lived retirement, but he had already laid the groundwork when he entered the ONE championship Round 2025.
‘Hitman’ he said in an interview with the promotion that he wants to stay active as much as possible as long as he doesn’t get injured during his fights.
“If I can do that, stay active, stay injury free, I think I can do it. We’ll take it one fight at a time and we’ll decide how I feel.”
