The 24-year-old Scot stopped Wehbee, who had suffered a cut above his left eye, in the third round of their contest at Glasgow's Kelvin Hall.

Harrison's next fight is likely to be against WBO champion Julio Pablo Chacon in Glasgow during the summer and a big-money showdown with Prince Naseem Hamed could follow.

British featherweight champion Harrison said: "I am ready now for a world title and to bring it back to Scotland.

"I won't rest until I am a world champion."

But Harrison explained that he was simply trying to avoid a lucky early shot from the Australian.

"He was trying to land his bombs in the first and second round," he said.

"I was hitting him with some cracking punches, but he kept coming back."

Those shots finally took their toll and promoter Frank Warren reiterated that the reward was likely to be a shot at Chacon.

"There is a renaissance of Scottish boxing and this guy is the flag bearer," he said.

Harrison's stablemate, Alex Arthur, had taken the IBF Intercontinental super-featherweight title away from Poland's Darius Snarski earlier in the Kelvin Hall bill.

That could lead to a British title fight against Manchester's Michael Gomez on the same bill as Harrison in June or July.
