}} Scott Harrison (born 19 August 1977) is a former world boxing featherweight champion and the first Scottish boxer to regain the World Boxing Organisation championship. His career has been dogged by controversy out of the ring and problems with alcohol have caused him to fall foul of the law on numerous occasions. ==Boxing career== He became WBO featherweight champion in 2002. In July 2003, he lost the title to the Mexican Manuel Medina but regained it in November of that year.〔 In May 2006 Harrison pulled out of a title defence in Belfast due to be screened on ITV1's Big Fight Live. He was replaced by Danny Williams. Promoter Frank Warren was less than pleased with this decision and made his views known to the media. After his withdrawal, it became apparent that things were not good and the Daily Record reported that an incident had occurred in a nightclub. Over the coming days Harrison checked into the Priory Clinic in London, citing problems with depression and alcohol.〔(Boxer Harrison checks into Priory ) BBC News, Wednesday, 17 May 2006〕 In December 2006, Harrison was stripped of his WBO title after failing to make the required weight () ahead of the fight with Cook. Harrison failed to turn up for the weigh-in. His father issued a statement stating that Harrison had been advised on medical grounds not to take on the fight.〔(Scott Harrison Vacates Title After Failing To Make Weight For Cook Defence ), (scottishboxing.co.uk ), 7 December 2006〕 In February 2008 Harrison claimed to be fully fit, and announced his intention to apply for his boxing licence to be reinstated, with a view to eventually taking on Alex Arthur for the WBO title. He blamed the pressures of making the weight limit for the featherweight division for contributing to his stress and depression, and claimed he would in future fight at super featherweight.〔(Harrison says he's fighting fit and ready for Arthur bout ), The Scotsman, 6 February 2008〕 Scott was scheduled to return to the ring on 29 June 2012 against Frenchman Brahim Bariz, who withdrew in the 11th hour. Instead he faced Hungarian teenager György Mizsei Jr. on the same date. Scott won the fight, which took place at Kelvin Hall, Glasgow as an Alex Morrison promotion, after the referee stopped the fight. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scott Harrison (boxer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
