WBO featherweight champion Scott Harrison was the main man in 2004 and is looking forward to another big year.

Harrison broke Jim Watt's record for a Scottish boxer of five successful world title victories when he stopped Ethiopia's Samuel Kebede in October.

And he has targeted a unification bout with WBC title-holder Injin Chi from South Korea in early 2005.

The 27-year-old has also challenged Mexican legend Marco Antonio Barrera, who is in the twilight of his career.

The Harrison camp is reluctant to give up the home advantage that Glasgow provides but he will have to travel if he is to take the next step up.

Harrison has already said he would move up a weight to take on Barrera and he has been urged by many pundits to fight in America to raise his profile.

BIG FIGHTS TO HOPE FOR Harrison v Injin Chi Harrison v Barrera Arthur v Gomez

Alex Arthur won the vacant IBF inter-continental super featherweight title in March with a win over Michael Kizza.

And the Edinburgh boxer has made two successful defences on home soil since.

Arthur is set for a mouth-watering all-Scottish clash with Glasgow's Craig Docherty for the vacant British title in March.

He has also set his sights on a re-match with Michael Gomez, but the Mancunian appears reluctant to go over old ground.

Commonwealth champion Docherty lost his European title bid on points to Russian Boris Sinitsin in October.

There is more than national pride at stake when Docherty takes on Arthur in Glasgow.

Both men have suffered career setbacks in recent times and the loser of the bout may struggle to get back on track.

Unbeaten Edinburgh 21-year-old Gary Young is already being tipped to succeed Harrison as Scotland's top boxer in years to come.

The light-welterweight is being groomed for title fights in 2005 after some explosive work this year.

Blessed with a spectacular left hook, the youngster missed a December contest against English veteran Charlie Shepherd with a virus.
