Scott Harrison (born 19 August 1977) is a Scottish professional boxer who held the WBO featherweight title twice between 2002 and 2005.

[1] His career has been dogged by controversy: out of the ring and problems with alcohol have caused him to fall foul of the law on numerous occasions.

He defeated Thomas Papp, Attila Jonas and Yohan Zaoui before beating Russian Ivan Goriunov 11–5 in the final to claim the gold medal.

[6] At the 1996 European Championships in Vejle, Denmark, he won bronze by beating Toni Naskovski in the first round, János Nagy, and Evgeniy Shestakov to reach the semi-final against Russian southpaw favorite and eventual gold medal winner Ramaz Paliani, to whom he lost 1–7.

Harrison won his first professional bout on 7 October 1996, when he knocked out Eddie Sica in round 2 at Lewisham Theatre in London.

In January 2000, in his eleventh fight, Harrison picked up the Commonwealth featherweight title by beating Patrick Mullings by unanimous decision.

He faced former two-weight champion Tracy Harris Patterson at Madison Square Garden on the undercard of Lennox Lewis vs. Michael Grant.

He dominated the fight, retaining his IBO Inter-Continental Featherweight Title on his way to a unanimous decision, 117–113, 119–111, 119–109, on the judges' cards.

[11] Harrison made the final defence of his British title in November 2001 against former WBO featherweight champion Steve Robinson.

[13] Harrison became WBO featherweight champion in 2002, defeating former Olympic bronze medalist Julio Pablo Chacon with a unanimous points decision at Breahead Arena in Glasgow by scores of 117–111, 117-112 and 117–111.

[19] Harrison vacated the title after withdrawing from a bout against Nicky Cook in December 2006 because he could no longer make the featherweight limit.

[20] In February 2008 Harrison claimed to be fully fit, and announced his intention to apply for his boxing licence to be reinstated, with a view to eventually taking on Alex Arthur for the WBO title.

[30] In September 2018 it was announced Harrison had been granted a licence from the British & Irish Boxing Authority (BIBA) with the intention to return to the ring before the end of 2018.

On 17 May 2020, Harrison confirmed he would return to professional boxing after a seven-year absence with a fight against Orkney based PBC International Champion Paul Peers.

[42] On 3 May 2013 Harrison lost his appeal against suspending the initial four-year sentence and was told that he had 15 days to report to prison otherwise he would be arrested and detained immediately.
