The Board will discuss David Haye’s assertion, later withdrawn, that he had placed a bet on himself to defeat Harrison in round three of his World Boxing Association heavyweight title defence in Manchester on Nov 13.
Harrison, who landed with one jab, and was stopped in the third round, is thought to have earned £1.5 million for his part in the title contest. His performance will also be scrutinised by the Boxing Board.
Robert Smith, general secretary of the Board, said the heavyweights could be called to justify their actions.

“We've taken on board what David has said, his first statement and his second statement,” said Smith. “The board can issue him with a warning, but we have lots of options.
"With Audley, some of the money has been paid but the promoter has been advised not to pay all the money until after our deliberations.”
Elsewhere, Ricky Hatton has insisted his weight loss has nothing to do with a rumoured comeback against Oscar de la Hoya.
The former two-weight world champion has shed 34lb in five weeks since leaving The Priory, where he was treated for depression.
Hatton, 32, said: “When I made the decision to enter rehab I weighed 14st 6lb, but now I am down to 12 stone. I’m feeling fantastic and I am happy.”
Hatton added: “Oscar said he was angry over the story and I don’t blame him. It is absolute rubbish. Nothing was ever said to me, and right now my main concern is the show we are staging next week.
"As far as a comeback goes, I am still of the opinion I had 18 months ago. I have no ambition to come back.”
Hatton is banned from boxing by the British Boxing Board of Control at present.
Hatton will promote his upcoming show, headed by younger brother Matthew, who defends the European welterweight title on Friday at the Reebok Stadium against Switzerland’s undefeated Roberto Belge.
Elsewhere, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Saturday night, Sergio Martinez retained the World Boxing Council middleweight title with a devastating second round left handed knock-out of American Paul Williams.
Williams had beaten Martinez by split decision last December. The Spaniard could now go on to meet either Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather Jnr.
