Harrison 'fit to box' says lawyer

[ICB]

WBO featherweight Scott Harrison has been passed fit to defend his title against Nicky Cook on 9 December, says his lawyer Massimo Franchi.
The medical, by British Boxing Board of Control-approved doctors, followed the 29-year-old's return to Scotland after five weeks in a Spanish prison.

He was arrested on 6 October after several alleged offences, including an assault on a police officer.

You know you're in good shape when you need a lawyer to say "it's ok for him to fight"

I'm telling you, this whole kerfuffle is playing into who I believe will be the next WBO champino Nicky Cook. Well, at least back in Scotland he's not going to end up in prison....the British system is so slow that it'll take until 2009 for his assault charges to appear at the proper court, what with pre-trial hearings, magistrates courts passing to the crown court yadda yadda yadda.
