This was his last escapade
''WORLD boxing champion Scott Harrison dodged a knockout blow to his career after a court let him off with grabbing a policeman by the throat.

The Cambuslang battler had admitted struggling with the police officer in the back of a taxi after a boozy night out in September 2004.

A criminal conviction could have seen the 28-year-old WBO featherweight champion banned from the ring due to strict boxing guidelines.

But at Rutherglen District Court this week he was given an absolute discharge meaning he has no conviction on his record.

Justice of the Peace Malcolm Macaskill granted the unusual move after hearing Harrison had been on good behaviour since he admitted the offence in March last year.

Harrison's lawyer, Massimo Franchi, admitted the fighter was "extremely relieved" he could carry on boxing.''
