Liam “The Hitman” Harrison was born on October 5, 1985, in Leeds, England. He began his journey in Muay Thai at the age of 13, joining the Bad Company gym in Harehills and training under Richard Smith. Harrison made his amateur debut at 14, winning a no-head-contact fight, and turned professional just before his fifteenth birthday with a first-round knockout victory. Early success on the local scene led to him securing the S.I.M.T.A. Northern Area title via first-round knockout against Abdul Arif. Between 2000 and 2004, Harrison established himself as a top fighter in the UK, moving through weight classes from featherweight to light welterweight and defeating both domestic and international opponents.
His career saw a significant milestone in 2004 when he won the W.A.K.O. Pro low-kick kickboxing world title in Italy after defeating Emannuel Di Profetis by technical knockout. This was followed by claiming the European version of the S.I.M.T.A. belt. Harrison made his Thai debut in August 2005, experiencing his first professional defeat, but later secured his first title on Thai soil by winning the Patong Stadium belt at 68 kg in December 2005. He continued to build his reputation in Thailand, training at Jitti Gym in Bangkok and winning the W.P.M.F. light welterweight belt in 2006. In 2007, he achieved a major victory by winning the W.M.C. lightweight world title after a fourth-round KO against Numphon PK Sterio in Manchester, a significant win in his career. He was also named Muay Siam magazine’s top foreign fighter of the year in 2007.
Throughout his career, Harrison has accumulated extensive experience, with a professional record of 120 fights, including 92 wins (50 by knockout), 26 losses, and 2 draws. He has competed in major organizations such as ONE Championship, where he signed a non-exclusive deal in 2018. Despite facing some challenges and injuries, including multiple withdrawals from scheduled fights due to knee injuries, Harrison has consistently demonstrated resilience. In 2025, he returned from what appeared to be a retirement, winning the WBC Muay Thai Diamond Belt against Isaac Araya via technical knockout.
