Saenchai Sor Kingstar and Liam Harrison have fought twice already with the Thai fighter winning a decision on both occassions and they are set to meet for the third and possibly final time in Bangkok on July 28th. The venue has yet to be confirmed but the show will be promoted by Thakoon Pongsupha.

Saenchai suffered back to back losses for the first time in his career recently when he was beaten by Saketdao Petpayathai at Lumpini Stadium in December and then found himself on the wrong side of an extremely dubious decision after a three round fight with Fabio Pinca in Italy in January.

He confounded the critics by comfortably defeating Saketdao in a dominant display at Lumpini Stadium in March and his next assignment will be against Peneak Sitnumnoi there on July 8th. Harrison also received a raw deal from Italian judges losing a split decision to Mohamed Khamal in the Muay Thai Premier League last August although be bounced back to stop Andrei Kulebin with leg kicks in the third round of their fight in Manchester in March.

After facing each other twice in England this will be the first time that Saenchai and Harrison have fought in Thailand. The fight is set for 64 kgs which will be a relief for the Thai fighter who needs to get down to 58 kgs for his fight with Peneak.
