Manuel Medina defeated Scott Harrison in Glasgow in July
|
Former world champion Scott Harrison will be given the chance for revenge after his rematch with Manuel Medina was set for 29 November at Braehead Arena, Glasgow.
Harrison lost his WBO featherweight title to the dangerous Mexican in July at the same venue.
And Medina, who called Harrison a boy before their first encounter, will no doubt be confident of pulling off a repeat performance in front of the Scotsman's home crowd.
The winner will have to make a mandatory defence against the American William Abelyan within 90 days.
Harrison is so serious about getting his title back that he is already at his spartan-style training camp with his father, Peter, in the baron mountains around Fort William.

I want to get back the respect and adulation

"Revenge is motivating me to win this fight," he said.
"I want to get back the respect and adulation that being a world champion brings.
"Medina not only took my pride, he also took my status as champion and the money I would have earned. Now I want to get it all back.
"The public and fans who saw me against Medina that night know that that was not the real Scott Harrison in the ring.
"That was not the same Scott Harrison that beat Julio Pablo Chacon to win the title and then defend it against Wayne McCullough.
"I have already been in my training camp for three weeks preparing for the rematch.
"It is totally isolated and away from everything.
"I do not want to let anything get in the way of my preparations and have separated myself from my family to fully focus on the fight ahead.
"I am not expecting an easy night, but I know what I am up against and will do the job this time. Revenge will be sweet."
