Harrison dropped Wiggins in round four and caught him again to force the referee's intervention for this 14th inside-the -distance win in 19 professional fights. It was arguably his best so far.

"I really feel that everything is finally going right for me and that I'm on track to reach the top in 2006," Harrison claimed.

The win, Harrison's sixth in America, was the only one of his 19 fights not to have been shown in the UK and that is something Harrison believes will change when he moves closer to a proper world title fight.

The plan according to Harrison, who has reinvented himself in America as a reformed street thug, includes two fights before the end of the year and then a title fight by April 2006.

However, Harrison will take three weeks off to marry his fiancée Raychel Feder before returning to Las Vegas and drawing up a list of names for his next two fights, which he hopes will be televised. "The fans are there for me and I will retain their loyalty," Harrison added.
