I think this is good news. It means Harrison is fit and ready and, should he lose, they'll be no excuses this time.

Bob Mee's preview in the Telegraph is always worth a read:
Scott Harrison knows that an all-out sustained attack will be needed to break the resistance of World Boxing Organisation champion Manuel Medina in Braehead near Glasgow tonight.
Harrison was as shocked as anyone when he lost the WBO belt to Medina in this same ring in July, but is aware of the changes he has to make to win the rematch.
"In the first fight I only threw 50 punches a round and that's not me," he said. "I usually throw about 1,100 punches in 12 rounds."
The 26-year-old Scot says he was listless because of a viral illness which affected his preparations.
Medina, the 75-fight veteran from the Mexican border city of Tijuana, is an amazing competitor. He began boxing professionally when he was a boy of 14 and claimed the first of his five spells as a world champion in 1991 - before Harrison had even laced on a glove.
However, he is far from unbeatable. He was stopped in 11 rounds by Naseem Hamed in 1996, outpointed by Paul Ingle in 1999 and earlier this year was stopped in seven by Juan Manuel Marquez in an International Boxing Federation title fight.
Harrison knows how to win the fight, although if he finds himself out-jabbed and out-worked at long range by the tall, light punching but busy champion it will be interesting to see how he reacts.
Harrison will be without regular cut man Dennie Mancini, who is ill in hospital in London, but that has given him even more incentive.
He rang Mancini from the weigh-in and told him: "After I've won I'll bring the belt down to show you."
The Harrison camp also lodged a protest against the appointment of British judge Roy Francis, who scored the first fight 118-113 for Medina, but that was refused by the British Boxing Board of Control who say they are satisfied with the official.
A fully fit and revitalised Harrison should have the edge in front of a sell-out partisan crowd but Medina is proud and resilient enough to take it the full 12 rounds.

Great "bling" moment at the weigh in though - Scot was 4 ounces over until Frank told him to take of his Rolex...
