Promoter Frank Warren has given Scott Harrison hope he could return to world-title action by fighting the winner of tomorrow's contest between Ricky Burns and Kevin Mitchell.

Harrison, a former featherweight world champion, will box on the undercard of the WBO lightweight title fight in Glasgow in only his second bout in almost seven years.

He spent time in a Spanish jail for assault after his career was thrown off course amid personal and alcohol problems. But Warren said: "Who knows, if he does what he thinks he can do, and we will see, he could end up fighting the winner of these two guys [Burns and Mitchell].

"And what a fight that would be. But that's something that we will see what happens over his next couple of fights," he added.
