Harrison fails in bid to win back licence
FORMER world champion Scott Harrison has failed in his bid to have his licence reinstated by the British Boxing Board of Control.
The former WBO featherweight champion from Cambuslang appeared before a meeting of the BBBC in Cardiff yesterday to plead his case. But Harrison, 30, who was represented at the hearing, was found guilty of allegations of misconduct and told that the suspension, originally imposed in December 2006, will remain in force until the end of January next year.
Harrison has right of appeal, but it appears extremely unlikely that the BBBC will overturn the decision.
The BBBC is expected to release a statement later today.
