Boxing champ Harrison arrested in Spain
World featherweight boxing champion Scott Harrison has been arrested in Spain, the Foreign Office has confirmed.
The 29-year-old, from Cambuslang, near Glasgow, is understood to have been arrested in Malaga on October 6.
The arrest is reported to relate to allegations of car theft and the assault of a police officer. A spokesperson for the Foreign Office said that Harrison had refused consular assistance.
Harrison pulled out of his last fight in Belfast in May this year, reportedly due to issues with depression and alcoholism, and checked into the Priory Clinic.
He had been training in Spain ahead of a planned fight against former European champion Nicky Cook in December.
In September, Harrison was charged with six offences, including assault and fraud, following incidents in South Lanarkshire during the summer.
