WBO featherweight champion Scott Harrison has been given the go-ahead to fight Nicky Cook next month.
The Scotsman has been cleared by the British Boxing Board of Control to defend his title after undergoing a series of medical tests following his release from a Spanish prison.
Harrison was bailed last week following an alleged assault on October 6.
A statement by BBBC general secretary Simon Block said: "Following consideration today of a number of medical reports received, boxer Scott Harrison has been cleared to proceed with his contest against Nicky Cook scheduled for the Excel Arena on Saturday, December 9."
Promoted Frank Warren has endured a frustrating weight to see if the fight could go ahead and is happy that the situation has been resolved.
Warren said: "It's more of a weight off his mind. I said from day one I had a contract with him and the contract says if he is found medically fit to fight then I have an obligation to put the contest on.
"He has had more tests and more stringent tests than probably any other boxer I have known.
"They have made it very clear that provided he is found fit to box under the British Boxing Board of Control terms, then the fight is on.
"Hopefully he won't get himself into any more scrapes. Hopefully he moves forward and he has the opportunity to defend his title." |
