Former world champ insists drinking problems are behind him
Scott Harrison insists he has put his troubles behind him and is now ready to re-establish himself as a world champion.
The 30-year-old Scot is a former featherweight world champion but has been out of the ring for over two years battling alcohol abuse and depression.
Harrison has also served time in a Spanish prison and still has to face outstanding assault charges in both Spain and Scotland.
However, having linked up once again with promoter Frank Warren and spent the last three months back in training, Harrison claims he is "officially back" and ready to relaunch his career.
"I've been training for three months and feel great," he told the Daily Mirror.
"I hope to fight in March. I can't wait to get back in the ring and put on a good show for everyone.
World title hopes
"I definitely think I will become a world champion again and I've done it twice before. Scott Harrison is officially back."
The former WBO featherweight champion - who has applied to the British Boxing Board of Control to have his licence reinstated - is adamant his drinking problems are now very much a thing of the past.
"The last two years have been an absolute nightmare," he said.
"I'd been fighting since I was 15 and so for Scott Harrison not to fight was a total shock.
"But I'm in brilliant condition now, excellent physical condition, and the last time I had a drink was so long ago, I can't remember."
