ONE Championship

A pressure fighter who loves a war meets a tall southpaw who prefers to counter. Both men believe they hold the key to the other’s style.

Tyson Harrison takes on Linus Bylander in the bantamweight Muay Thai co-main event of The Inner Circle 34 on Friday, October 9. The bout streams live in Asia primetime from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, exclusively for members of The Inner Circle.

The 25-year-old Australian returns for the first time since a second-round knockout loss to Parham Gheirati at ONE Friday Fights 127 in October 2025. He spent much of the past year in the gym, training consistently and helping his Tor Sangtiennoi teammates prepare.

That time has allowed him to add more kicks, knees, and elbows to a game long built on his hands. Even so, he trusts his familiar forward march to stop the Swede from settling into his counterpunching rhythm.

“I know he’s a southpaw, he’s tall, and he likes to move around a little bit, trying to counterpunch. But I just feel that the way I fight, my style, my heart, the way I walk anybody down, I just think it will be too much for him,” Harrison said.

Linus Bylander ready to adapt against Tyson Harrison

Bylander, 29, opened his ONE run with a unanimous decision over Saensak Supergirl Jaroonsak before dropping a decision to Suksawat PK Saenchai in May. He has spent the past six weeks at Silk Muay Thai after a three-month stay in Sweden, with sharper defense in close range his top priority.

Harrison’s pressure has produced three finishes across his four ONE victories, but the Swede refuses to lock himself into a single approach. He believes his versatility will let him choose the right tactics once the action begins.

“It depends on how it feels once I’m inside the ring. I’m comfortable both being aggressive and fighting on the back foot. I can switch between marching forward and counter-boxing, so I’ll adjust depending on what’s working best in the moment,” Bylander said.
