Frank Warren is Urging Scott Harrison To Get Some Help

By Edward Chaykovsky

Promoter Frank Warren is urging his former fighter, ex-WBO featherweight boxer Scott Harrison (25-2-2, 14KOs) to sort out his life. Harrison, out of the ring since 2005, had a proposed comeback fight in Blackpool cancelled following his recent arrest for alleged shoplifting. Harrison obtained a license to box last year after spending some time in a Spanish prison.

"Before he even considers boxing, he has these demons to conquer outside of the ring," Warren told BBC Scotland. "Until then, he shouldn't be allowed to fight. I do have a contract with him but he needs to get help and quickly."

"The person closest to him was his trainer, his father [Peter]. The only one who can deal with this is him, with the support of his close family. He has to face up to reality and stop looking for excuses."
