Scott Harrison, the two-time world champion, will make his ring return after an 18-month absence on October 31.
The 37-year-old has not fought since losing by unanimous decision to Norfolk's Liam Walsh at the Wembley Arena in April last year.
The former WBO world featherweight champion has now signed on with newly formed Phoenix Promotions and has already pencilled in a date for his return after his boxing licence was reinstated by the British Boxing Board of Control last month following a year-long suspension. The fight will take place in Glasgow but firm details for the venue and opponent have yet to be released.
Harrison, who has served lengthy prison sentences in both Britain and Spain in the past six years, was suspended by the BBBoC last year when he failed to provide proof that he was no longer being sought by the Spanish authorities. He said: "I am looking forward to starting a new chapter in my career, working with Jay Anderson at Phoenix Promotions, a boxing promotional company that I believe will shake up Scottish boxing."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
