- After losing seven years of his career due to alcoholism, depression, and personal problems, former WBO World Featherweight champion Scott Harrison returned to the ring at age 34.
- Harrison served two and a half years in Spanish Prison after being convicted of assault and attempted auto theft in Malaga in 2009.
- Unbeaten Hungarian opponent Gyorgy Mezsei Jr. was a last minute substitute for Frenchman Brahim Bariz, who pulled out several days before the scheduled bout.
- Harrison had Mezsei down on the canvas four times, and finished his foe with a series of power hooks to the head which forced the stoppage in the fourth round.
- Harrison's WBO world title belt was stripped from him in 2006 for failing to make weight for his scheduled defense.
- Harrison, now 26-2-1 with 15 kayos after this bout, weighed 134 3/4 pounds for this bout at Kelvin Hall in Glasgow, Scotland, the heaviest of his career.
