Leave it to Scott Harrison to find a way to make the headlines for both good and bad news all in the same day.
The former featherweight titlist had his boxing license reinstated by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBoC) on Wednesday, which will clear the way for a planned ring return in October.
However, Harrison’s good news is trumped by a breaking story that the troubled Scot is once again forced to appear before a judge. STV Glasgow reported that the oft-troubled boxer was charged with assaulting a woman, allegedly stemming from an incident on August 11 in Glasgow’s south side.
Harrison entered a non-guilty plea was released on bail with the stipulation that is he to not have any contact with the victim until the trial, which is set for next February.
Apparently, news of reclaiming his license took a bit too long to come out.
“I had my boxing license reinstated on the 11th of June, subject to me providing the Board with some paperwork before they would grant me permission to box,” Harrison said through his press agent in a statement prior to Thursday’s events. “It’s a relief to have my licence fully reinstated. It’s been a long struggle over the year, fighting to get my licence back, but I am now looking forward to returning to my profession and getting my career back on track.” [Click Here To Read More]
