Harrison retains WBO title

Scott Harrison retained his WBO world featherweight title with an impressive third round win over William Abelyan at Braehead Arena.

The Scotsman, backed by around 5,000 partisan fans, was relentless from the first bell and pursued the challenger all around the ring.

The first couple of rounds allowed Harrison to find his range against the Armenian who never showed the confidence inside the ring that he had displayed in the pre-fight hype.

In the third round Harrison stunned the challenger with a ferocious right hand and from then on there was no way back for Abelyan who dropped to the canvas.

Harrison had the challenger down on the floor twice more before the referee stepped in to save him from further punishment.
