Scott Harrison could make his boxing return at a behind-closed-doors event in Aberdeen this summer.

The 42-year-old was released from jail in July 2018 after serving four years for assault and has not fought for seven years having seen several scheduled comeback fights fall through.

Harrison is set to co-headline a pay-per-view television event in late June or July against PBC International champion Paul Peers, should lockdown restrictions be eased sufficiently.

Danny Williams, the former British heavyweight champion who lost to Derek Chisora back in 2010, is also slated to face PBC international champion Lee Kellett.

Harrison, a former WBO world featherweight champion, has been licensed to box by the British and Irish Boxing Authority (BIBA) and not the British Boxing Board of Control. The card looks set to take place in front of no spectators, with testing for COVID-19 mandatory for anyone in attendance.

Each boxer will be required to wear a surgical mask, which can only be removed once they have entered the ring, but the referee must keep his mask on, along with anyone at ringside.

Spit buckets will be replaced with "enclosed containers along with a funnel and tube", and full medical assistance –– including an air ambulance –– will be on site.

Harrison was due to return on the undercard of Nigel Benn's bout with Sakio Bika in November, and against Tackie Annan 11 months earlier.

And he will hope that this return comes to fruition.
