WBO interim super-featherweight champion Alex Arthur has played down the prospect of an all-Scottish showdown Scott Harrison. While Arthur is in training to defend his title against Steve Foster Jnr at Meadowbank on December 15, Harrison has not fought for two years. Harrison has endured a troubled spell, which has seen his off-field scrapes dominate the headlines. However, the former WBO champion is planning his comeback - with the chance to fight compatriot Arthur an enticing option. Arthur, though, insists Harrison first needs to prove that he is back before considering a domestic dust-up. The Edinburgh fighter said: "This is a one-man game and I'm not interested in anyone else in boxing. I'm only interested in what I do. "My main focus is going into the ring and producing results and that's what I've done since I was 10. This is an individual sport. "Firstly, we need to see Scott back in the ring. He hasn't fought for over two years and has not lived the cleanest of lives. "But once we see him back in the ring and fighting again you never know what could happen as this is boxing."
