in a nightclub, for which he was due to go to trial. Over the coming days Harrison checked into the Priory Clinic, citing problems with depression and alcohol. Harrison vacated the title after withdrawing from a bout against Nicky Cook in December 2006 because he could no longer make the featherweight limit. In February 2008 Harrison claimed to be fully fit, and announced his intention to apply for his boxing licence to be reinstated, with a view to eventually taking on Alex Arthur for the WBO title. He blamed the pressures of making the weight limit for the featherweight division for contributing to his stress and depression, and claimed he would in future fight at super featherweight. Comeback In October 2011 Harrison failed in his attempt to regain his boxing licence from the British Boxing Board of Control after being told he had not supplied all the relevant paperwork. However, in December of that year he was granted his licence back after his case was backed by the Scottish Boxing Area Council and chairman Bernard Connolly. Harrison was scheduled to make his return to the ring in March 2012 with a fight in Blackpool. The bout was placed in doubt due to a legal dispute involving rival promoters Frank Warren and Harrison's manager Frank Maloney. The bout was later called off after Harrison was arrested for alleged shoplifting from a Glasgow supermarket. This led to manager Frank Maloney dropping Harrison from his stable. Harrison later signed a three-year management and co-promotion deal with Alex Morrison. Harrison was scheduled to return to the ring on 29 June 2012 against Frenchman Brahim Bariz, who withdrew in the 11th hour. Instead he faced Hungarian teenager György Mizsei Jr. on the same date. Harrison won the fight, which took place at Kelvin Hall as an Alex Morrison promotion, after the referee stopped the fight in the fourth round. With the win Harrison picked up the International Masters lightweight title. In his second fight since returning to the ring, Harrison went on to beat Joe Elfidh, despite dropping Elfidh in the first round Harrison had to settle for a points win over six rounds. In April 2013 Harrison challenged Liam Walsh for the WBO European lightweight title. Harrison lost the bout in a unanimous decision, scoring 98-92 and 97–93, 97-93 from the three judges.
