Scott Harrison Chasing Barrera.

WBO featherweight champion of the world Scott Harrison has expressed his desire to engage newly crowned WBC/IBF super featherweight champion Marco Antonio Barrera in a fight sometime this year. Harrison was ringside for the huge Barrera-Morales III fight in November of last year and says that it really whet his appetite to get involved in the mix of fighters of that caliber in 2005. Harrison’s last fight was an early rounds blowout of relatively obscure fighter Samuel Kebede. Harrison is a two-time WBO featherweight champion, having lost a tough fight to veteran Manuel Medina before getting himself together to beat Medina and regain the title. Barrera is scheduled to fight before the halfway point of the year and Harrison’s management are trying to secure a date for a Barrera-Harrison fight.
