Johan Ghazali expects a “crazy fight” between Seksan and Liam Harrison.
In August 2022, Harrison suffered a severe knee injury against then-bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O that required surgery. The UK superstar hasn’t fought since, as he endured several setbacks before scheduling his highly-anticipated return for next Friday’s ONE 168: Denver.
Since then, Muay Thai legend Seksan has made his ONE Championship debut and established an 8-1 promotional record. ‘The Man Who Yields To No One’ endured his lone loss under the ONE banner last time out when Yutaro Asahi surprisingly defeated him by unanimous decision.
On September 6, Seksan and Harrison will battle at ONE 168 in a matchup that both fighters wanted. During an interview with the South China Morning Post, ONE bantamweight Muay Thai prospect Johan Ghazali had this to say about the catchweight fight featuring two legends of “The Art of Eight Limbs”:
“I’m sure that would be a crazy fight. What Seksan fight is not fun, you know? Every Seksan fight is a fun fight.”
ONE 168 goes down inside the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. Tickets for the upcoming event featuring Liam Harrison vs Seksan can be found on Ticketmaster.

Johan Ghazali will join Liam Harrison and Seksan by fighting at ONE 168: Denver
Before Liam Harrison vs Seksan, Johan Ghazali will make his return to the flyweight Muay Thai division at ONE 168. The 17-year-old future world title challenger looks to get back on track after suffering his first promotional defeat against Nguyen Tran Duy (unanimous decision) in June.
Ghazali’s latest challenge is against Josue Cruz. The Mexican-born flyweight holds a promotional record of 0-2 after suffering first-round knockout losses against Walter Goncalves (May 2022) and Sean Climaco (May 2024).
Ghazali and Cruz are willing to do whatever it takes to return to the win column at ONE 168. Only time will tell who can emerge victorious when ONE Championship makes their highly-anticipated return to North America.
