His prowess was soon recognized by ONE Championship, the world’s leading martial arts organization, where he made his promotional debut in 2022, defeating the legendary Japanese MMA and grappling artist, Masakazu Imanari, with a rear-naked choke.

Tawanchai’s journey began at 8 years old, when after witnessing some captivating Muay Thai bouts at Thepprasit Stadium in Pattaya, Thailand, he was compelled to master “The Art of Eight Limbs.” He rapidly ascended through the ranks and by 14, had debuted at the esteemed Lumpinee Stadium. His dominating presence on the local scene saw him claiming significant victories and receiving substantial rewards.
In 2018, Tawanchai reached a peak in his Muay Thai career, receiving accolades such as the Lumpinee Stadium, Sports Authority of Thailand, and Siam Kela Fighter of the Year awards.

Jonathan “The General” Haggerty
Jonathan Haggerty, even with his youthful years, is an exceptionally accomplished martial artist, having commenced training in Muay Thai at the tender age of 7. Under the meticulous guidance of his father, a competitor himself, he embraced the discipline, experiencing his first bout just a year into his training. His journey since has been a fervent quest to establish himself as the world’s foremost striker.
His exceptional trajectory paved his way to ONE Championship, where his debut was nothing short of spectacular, overcoming Muay Thai World Champion Joseph Lasiri. Representing the United Kingdom as one of its finest strikers, Haggerty continued to make global ripples in his subsequent bout, where he triumphed over the legendary Muay Thai World Champion Sam-A Gaiyanghadao in May 2019. This victory allowed him to seize the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title. Despite losing it subsequently to Muay Thai phenom Rodtang Jitmuangnon, Haggerty was able to bounce back quickly with back to back wins, eventually moving up a weight class and defeating another legendary Muay Thai World Champion, Nong-O Gaiyanghadao, thereby claiming the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title.

Liam “Hitman” Harrison
Liam Harrison, the three-time Muay Thai World Champion, almost missed discovering his extraordinary talent in martial arts. Initially, he immersed himself in soccer, demonstrating sufficient skill to play at an elevated level in his hometown of Leeds, England. However, a turning point came at 13 when his cousin introduced him to Muay Thai.
Harrison’s affection for this striking art blossomed instantaneously. His zeal for Muay Thai was so intense that he chose to leave school to chase his aspirations of becoming a World Champion. By 15, he had already cultivated a formidable reputation for his knockout power and intensive, aggressive style, earning him the moniker “Hitman.”
Harrison’s remarkable journey has seen him compete globally, participating in over 100 bouts. He has seized three Muay Thai World Titles in diverse weight categories and rule sets, with a significant number of his victories achieved through stoppages.
