It was supposed to announced today, but not seen or heard anything yet. I suppose TBA is still the order of day.

It says in today's Daily Record the opponent was confirmed last night as Nedal Hussein. I searched their website but there's not a link to the story. A good opponent though, should be interesting.

From Secondsout.com

WBO featherweight champion Scott Harrison will make the next defence of his world title against Australia's Nedal "Skinny" Hussein. The fight was originally scheduled for October 1, but due to an arm injury to Harrison, it will now be held in late October or in November in Scotland.

"Skinny will definitely be the next opponent for Scott Harrison," said Hussein's co-trainer and brother Billy Hussein. "Harrison is the perfect opponent for him because of his style and the way he will come to him. Skinny will win this fight."

Thanks chaps, looks like a good match up, though I think it will be a SH win.

Better than a Spend Abazi fight, at any rate.

I hope it's somebody who is capable of beating him. The sooner he gets beat again, the better.

Why?

Sorry, I just really don't like him. That's all, just ignore me.

I'm still not impressed with him one bit, but I know everybody else on here likes him so i'll root against him in silence now.

Why?

Because he is probably the most limited "champion" in the world today and Victor Polo should have that belt.

Not my personal view, just a guess.

Another piss poor match up. They know they have to keep putting him in against Super Bantamweights because he cant bully a genuine fully fledged Featherweight

The guys been floating between 122-130 for the last 4 years or so and don't forget Barrera, Morales & Pacquiao came up in weight, would you say the same about them being blown up super bantams I wonder? Not a big Harrison fan by the way just pointing out the facts
