A replacement opponent has been found for Scott Quigg atop the September 13 bill in Manchester, England. The unbeaten super bantamweight will now face Stephane Jamoye, who replaces an injured Paulus Ambunda.
The news was confirmed through Matchroom Sport's press agent Tuesday afternoon (local time).
Quigg (28-0-2, 21KOs) was angling for a showdown with fellow unbeaten 122 lb. titlist Leo Santa Cruz, who is scheduled to fight on the same day in the United States.
