Scott Harrison

All this bad mouthing Harrison is getting boring now. Guys had his demons and paid the price. End of. A lot of key board big men on here it's laughable.

 

:deal
Couldn't agree more.
Haven't read the article, but last I heard from him, he was busy personal training and running boxercise and circuit classes.

 

Update on Scott's next fight from the Scotsman:

I'll post the link but it keeps bouncing about so I've copied it........

SCOTT Harrison, the former two-time WBO featherweight champion from Cambuslang, has been handed the chance to resurrect his career nine years after the last of his world title bouts.

Harrison, who has fought only three times since defeating Australian Nedal Hussein in November 2005 – most recently in April last year when he lost to Liam Walsh for the European lightweight crown – is to make a comeback at Paisley’s Lagoon Centre on 12 December at the age of 37.

Iain Wilson and Colin Bellshaw, co-directors of Saltire Promotions and the St Andrew’s Sporting Club, have signed Harrison to a promotional contract that also guarantees him fights in February and March.

It constitutes a gamble by the pair, given Harrison’s track record and the fact that he is also facing the threat of extradition at the behest of the Spanish authorities relating to a conviction for assault in 2007.

Harrison pointed out at yesterday’s media conference in Glasgow that he was not there to talk about “the stuff in Spain”, stressing that it is a matter for his lawyers.

But he said: “I am very confident it will be dealt with. It is something from 2007 and this is nearly 2015. But it has been an absolute nightmare since getting involved over there and buying a house in Spain was the worst thing I have ever done.

“But I am confident it will all be behind me and this will be a new chapter. It’s good to be sitting here and talking about fighting in Scotland again.

“I have been promised regular fights and that’s something I have not had since I came back. I have been getting two and three weeks’ notice at times and only finding out opponents on the day of fights.

“Now I can build some momentum and keep progressing rather than going back to square one every few months. People will see the Scott Harrison of old, if not even better.

“I have got no doubt I can fight for a world title again, at 9st 7lbs or 9st 4lbs if the right fight comes up as I am between these weights. It’s all about getting the opportunity. Sometimes politics are involved.

“I would be more surprised to get the opportunity, but I would not be surprised to win another world title. I have done it before and know what it takes.

“There have been so many hurdles through the years. There have been so many ups and downs I could have lost my marbles. But they will not be able to ignore me if I am knocking people over.”

Harrison is refusing to look beyond the immediate future but he did allude to the possibility of a fight with Ricky Burns, the former two-weight world champion from Coatbridge.

He also claimed he takes inspiration from Bernard Hopkins, who remains a world champion at nearly 50, adding that he plans to continue fighting well into his forties.

“It would be easier to walk away as it is much tougher to keep coming back but I will not be defeated. It is not in my nature. I am too stubborn.”

 

I hope he does not get sent to jail in Spain, and can get a few back to back fights to get a bit of momentum

 

Is Harrison's fight at the Lagoon in Paisley on 12th December on or off?

 

Show is off mate, i think there is a meeting about the Spanish extradition early December and if that is dropped then they will schedule a show.

 

Gutted. Gutted for him and for his long suffering supporters. It would be very easy to argue against this but I hope the guy gets a lucky break some time soon.

 

Ive been hearing a return to Spain is looking inevitable.

 

Anything new about Scott Harrison?

Has the Spanish hearing happened yet?

 

2nd only to Lee McAllister as the greatest boxer SCOTLAND has produced

Hope he returns soon

 

Extradition hearing was postponed on the 4th December at Edinburgh Sheriff Court. Harrison is also facing assault and alcohol related charges at Glasgow Sheriff Court and his legal team have requested that this be dealt with first. The extradition hearing will be postponed till March 2015 but it looks almost a dead cert that he will be extradited to finish serving the rest of his sentence in Spain.

That doesn't look too promising for him does it!! It really annoys me that they had him in jail then thought it would be a good idea to let him out and then try get him back to jail. They should have dealt with him whilst they had him and when he was released he should have been able to carry on with his life.

 

totally agree

 

Does anyone know where things stand now, today, with Harrison and court cases and more interestingly his license and fighting again any time soon?
