Former champ eyes world title number three
Two-time WBO featherweight belt holder Scott Harrison has
admitted to his mistakes in the past and now wants to focus on the task in hand
after regaining his license to as a prolonged wait ended yesterday.
The 34 year-old, who is now free to resume his boxing career
after a six-year absence and time spent in a Spanish prison, has a plan in place to pick up third world
title after the Scot never lost the belt in the ring.
"I'd like to thank the British Boxing Board of Control
and the Scotland Area Council for giving me my licence back,” Harrison told The
Daily Record.
"It has taken some time. The investigation into my
physical and mental condition has been exhaustive and I don't think I could
have done it without their support.
"I have made some serious mistakes in my life and spent
a considerable amount of time in a Spanish prison.
"That would change anyone and I am definitely a changed
man.
"I have paid for my mistakes and I would like to
apologise to everybody who has been hurt by my actions.
"I just went to get on on with my boxing now and
provide for my family. As far as the training regime is concerned, I'm fit and
the focus I have is better than it's ever been. I believe I can be world
champion for a third time."
Harrison is expected to hold talks with former promoter
Frank Warren in the New Year and could be boxing again in the early part of
2012 if he and father Peter’s plans come to fruition.
