“My section as a fighter is nearly up” – Liam Harrison laments about the next chapter of his career once he decides to retire

At 38 years of age and with over two decades of experience at the top of the Muay Thai stack, British Muay Thai icon ‘Hitman’ Liam Harrison says the end is nigh for his career.

Harrison has spent the last 18 months rehabilitating an injured knee, and he admits the outstretched arms of Father Time have begun to take a stranglehold on his physical conditioning.

Speaking to the South China Morning Post in a recent interview, Harrison said his time as a fighter is almost done.

‘Hitman’ stated:

“A fighter's life comes in different sections and my section as a fighter is nearly up.”

Thankfully, the 38-year-old veteran has no plans of leaving the fight game completely, and wants to guide the next generation of martial arts hopefuls when it’s all said and done.

He added:

“The next section, I want to be a coach and I want to be in the gym. I want to be holding pads for my fighters every day and I want to be sparring everyone every day. I want to be helping bring on the new generation. I want to be traveling the world doing my seminars.”

It seems Harrison has things all planned out and will likely stick around to share his knowledge and experience with the UK’s brightest young stars.
