Harrison was charged in September with offences of assault and fraud

The 29-year-old WBO title holder, from Cambuslang near Glasgow, was arrested in Malaga on 6 October, reportedly following claims of theft and assault.

However, his manager, Barry Hughes, said he expected Scott Harrison to be released from jail soon.

He said the boxer's car broke down and there was a confrontation with Spanish police because of a language problem.

Scott Harrison, who has received treatment for depression and alcoholism, had been training in southern Spain.

In September the boxer was charged with six offences, including assault and fraud, following incidents in South Lanarkshire during the summer.

Fight doubts

Last month he announced he would stay out of Scotland while preparing for the fight against former European champion Nicky Cook.

The bout has now been thrown into doubt after the fighter's arrest in Malaga.

However, Barry Hughes insisted the comeback fight would go ahead.

"There was no interpreter in place for Scott at the police station and no interpreter at the court," he said.

"We feel he is being unlawfully held."

He added that Scott Harrison denied assaulting anyone and nowhere on the charge sheet did it say the boxer stole a vehicle.
