World featherweight boxing champion Scott Harrison is being held in a Spanish jail, the Foreign Office has revealed.

The 29-year-old WBO title holder, from Cambuslang, near Glasgow, was arrested in Malaga on 6 October.

His arrest reportedly followed allegations of theft and assault.

The boxer, who has received treatment for depression and alcoholism, had been training in southern Spain ahead of a title defence in December.

A Foreign Office spokesman said Harrison had refused consular assistance.

His UK lawyer Massimo Franchi said he had no knowledge of the arrest.

Last month Harrison announced he would stay out of Scotland while preparing for the fight against former European champion Nicky Cook.

In September the boxer was charged with six offences, including assault and fraud, following incidents in South Lanarkshire during the summer.


Probably not the preparation his trainer had in mind when they decided to train in Spain methinks :P

Shocking

The WBO belt should be vacated.
#1 & #2 ranked fighters should fight for it.

Like anybody would even notice

Well everyone has their demons. Sometimes its hard for some people to stay on the righteous path.

It happens to the best of em.

I hope he can bounceback form all this crap. :-\

I don't know, I don't hope that bad things come to the guy but he's always seemed like a bit of an arrogant prick to me. Maybe not, I don't know.

Is this old stuff or things he did in Spain?

Well looking at the article it seems to be stuff he did in Spain

Assault I guess I can understand, but Fraud?

guess this means that JMM is officially the real WBO champ. since Harrison will most likely be striped

Yeah its about time we forgot about Scot and moved on . Hes messed everyone around for too long now so f*k him . I never rated him to begin with so we arent missing out on much anyway . Marquez is leagues above him so that fight would have been a stroll in the park for the Mexican

Spain is not the ideal training place for some one who has a problem every thing is so cheap and on tap. i heard he was arrested for attempting to steal a car!!!! WTF

well it's not the best place to avoid booze.

Barry Hughes.....manager of Scott Harrison

Hughes added: "Frank Maloney did a good job with Scott but there is more to being a manager than turning up for fights and weigh-ins.

"When a boxer has problems it doesn't help that his manager lives in a different country and doesn't know what's happening to him. I'll be more hands-on than that.

You can take the NED out of the Gorbals but you can't take the Gorbals out of the NED.

;D

He seemed to just go off his rocker overnight :-\

Obviously he's finished
