Boxer Scott Harrison fires manager Frank Maloney
Troubled WBO featherweight champion boxer Scott Harrison has fired his long-term manager Frank Maloney as he makes an attempt to get his career back on track.
Scott Harrison, 29, who withdrew from a title defence in May after depression and alcohol problems, has signed with Barry Hughes at Braveheart Promotions.
"I know nothing about this but I'm sure I will survive the loss of Scott Harrison," said Frank Maloney.
Scott Harrison must now defend his title against Juan Manuel Marquez by 4 November.
The boxing match will take place on home turf after Scott Harrison's promoter, Frank Warren, outbid Juan Manuel Marquez's promoter Oscar De La Hoya for the right to stage the contest but no venue or date has, as yet, been confirmed for the fight.
Frank Warren said: "I'm delighted that I have secured my man the home advantage for his world title defence against Marquez.
"It will be a tough fight and every advantage we can get will count in Scott's favour."
