Professional career
=Early career=
Harrison won his first professional bout on 7 October 1996, when he knocked out Eddie Sica in round 2 at Lewisham Theatre in London. In January 2000, in his eleventh fight, Harrison picked up the Commonwealth featherweight title by beating Patrick Mullings by unanimous decision. He became the first Scottish boxer to win the Commonwealth featherweight title since Evan Armstrong in 1974.{{cite news|title=Two-title start to 2000 for Gilmour Bravehearts v Lionhearts night gives two top Scots the chance to prove their worth at home|url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12223647.two-title-start-to-2000-for-gilmour-bravehearts-v-lionhearts-night-gives-two-top-scots-the-chance-to-prove-their-worth-at-home/|accessdate=19 July 2020|newspaper=The Herald (Glasgow)|date=16 December 1999}}
After capturing the Commonwealth title Harrison faced two former world champions. In April 2000 Harrison made his US debut. He faced former two-weight champion Tracy Harris Patterson at Madison Square Garden on the undercard of Lennox Lewis vs. Michael Grant. Harrison dominated the fight, winning by unanimous decision, with the judges scoring the contest 97–93, 98-92 and 99–91. Three months later Harrison defeated former IBF featherweight champion Tom Johnson at London Arena. He dominated the fight, retaining his IBO Inter-Continental Featherweight Title on his way to a unanimous decision, 117–113, 119–111, 119–109, on the judges' cards.{{cite news|title=Stone stops brave McCreesh|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/in_depth/2000/lewis_in_london/835367.stm|accessdate=20 July 2020|newspaper=BBC Sport|date=15 July 2000}} Harrison rounded the year off with the first defence of his Commonwealth title. He stopped Eric Odumase by TKO in round 12 of the contest at Waterfront Hall in Belfast.
In March 2001, Harrison added the vacant British title to his Commonwealth Featherweight title with a win against Liverpool's Richie Wenton at Ponds Forge in Sheffield. Harrison put Wenton down in the first round but it wasn't until the fourth round referee Dave Parris stopped the fight after continued pressure from Harrison. After the fight Harrison said "It was my sweetest win".{{cite news|title=Harrison adds to growing reputation |url=https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/harrison-adds-to-growing-reputation-6338956.html|accessdate=22 July 2020|newspaper=BBC Sport|date=25 March 2001}} Harrison made the first defence of his British title six months later against former title holder Gary Thornhill at the M.E.N. Arena in Manchester. Harrison dropped his opponent with a left hook to the body and the contest was halted after 31 seconds of round five.{{cite news|title=Harrison defends titles|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/1546467.stm|accessdate=22 July 2020|newspaper=BBC Sport|date=15 September 2001}}
Harrison made the final defence of his British title in November 2001 against former WBO featherweight champion Steve Robinson. Harrison was in control for the duration of the fight with referee Richie Davies stopping the fight only nine seconds of the round three remaining.{{cite news|title=Harrison retains titles|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/1662448.stm|accessdate=24 July 2020|newspaper=BBC Sport|date=18 November 2001}} At the end of 2001, Harrison was voted Young Boxer of the Year by the Professional Boxing Association and the Boxing Writers' Club.{{cite news|title=Why Joe Calzaghe may just have been the best 'Young Boxer' of them all|url=https://www.express.co.uk/sport/othersport/278425/Why-Joe-Calzaghe-may-just-have-been-the-best-Young-Boxer-of-them-all|accessdate=24 July 2020|newspaper=The Express|date=20 October 2011}}

Harrison became WBO featherweight champion in 2002, defeating former Olympic bronze medalist Julio Pablo Chacon with a unanimous points decision at Braehead Arena in Glasgow by scores of 117–111, 117-112 and 117–111. With Harrison's win, he became Scotland's eight world champion.{{cite news|title=Harrison scoops world title|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/2343325.stm|accessdate=18 July 2020|newspaper=BBC Sport|date=19 October 2002}} After picking up the world title for the first time Harrison ended the year, The Ring's #8-ranked featherweight in the world.{{cite news|title=The Ring Magazine's Annual Ratings: 2002|url=https://boxrec.com/media/index.php/The_Ring_Magazine%27s_Annual_Ratings:_2002|accessdate=24 July 2020|newspaper=The Ring|date=13 July 2019}}

Promoter Frank Warren was disappointed with the decision but urged Harrison to seek help for his problems. It was reported that an incident had occurred in a nightclub, for which he was due to go to trial. Over the coming days Harrison checked into the Priory Clinic, citing problems with depression and alcohol.[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/4989756.stm Boxer Harrison checks into Priory] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060719175407/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/4989756.stm |date=19 July 2006 }}, BBC.co.uk, 17 May 2006.

In February 2008 Harrison claimed to be fully fit, and announced his intention to apply for his boxing licence to be reinstated, with a view to eventually taking on Alex Arthur for the WBO title. He blamed the pressures of making the weight limit for the featherweight division for contributing to his stress and depression, and claimed he would in future fight at super featherweight.[http://sport.scotsman.com/sport/Harrison-says-he39s-fighting-fit.3746933.jp "Harrison says he's fighting fit and ready for Arthur bout"] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110617052342/http://sport.scotsman.com/sport/Harrison-says-he39s-fighting-fit.3746933.jp |date=17 June 2011 }}, The Scotsman, 6 February 2008.
