The_budweiser Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Unified super bantamweight world champion Guillermo "The Jackal" Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KOs), arguably the most avoided reigning world title holder in modern boxing history, will travel to London next month in order to publicly confront his mandatory challenger, Scott Quigg (30-0-2, 22 KOs), the World Boxing Association (WBA) "regular" 122-pound division titlist. A month ago in an unusual move, Rigondeaux' manager Gary Hyde formally petitioned the WBA to enforce a mandatory title fight between his WBA Super champion and Quigg. Hyde is awaiting the WBA's decision. Rigondeaux is also the World Boxing Organization (WBO) and The Ring magazine's super bantamweight champion. Guillermo Rigondeaux is heading to UK next month to publicly confront Scott Quigg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_budweiser Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Re: Rigondeaux is on his way to uk.... "but I will travel to England in May to publicly call out Scott Quigg. If he turns down the chance to fight our WBA mandatory, he will be remembered for that instead of being known as a great fighter. While I'm in the UK, I will also go to Belfast to checkout Carl Frampton to ask if he wants to prove himself against the best in his division." Seems Hyde is pushing for a fight between Frampton or Quigg. I hope one of them has the balls to step up and test themselves against the best fighter in the division. I wonder if the WBA will make Quigg mandatory after Hyde's petition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamasadlittleboy Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Re: Rigondeaux is on his way to uk.... Quigg will fight a Super Flyweight instead, Rigondeaux will fight a less than exciting foe and Frampton will fight a fringe contender. Frustrating division with the likes of Galahad, Servania, Wake, Pagara, Ruiz all on the outside looking in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoztheMadman Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Re: Rigondeaux is on his way to uk.... Quigg will be too easy, only challenge Quigg presents is the height. Frampton however-that's a FIGHT! The speed is there, the skills and the aggressiveness to give Rigo plenty of trouble. Lets make it happen!
