Former two-time world champion Scott Harrison will return to the ring for the first time in 18 months on October 31.

The 37-year-old Glasgow fighter - an ex-WBO world featherweight champion - had his boxing licence reinstated by the British Boxing Board of Control last month, ending a year-long suspension.

His comeback, against an as yet unnamed opponent, will take place in his home city.

Harrison said: "I am looking forward to starting a new chapter in my career."

Promoter Jay Anderson said: "I am delighted to have Scott on board, who in my opinion is one of the best fighters Scotland has ever produced. We are looking forward to the journey ahead."
