Scott Quigg Set For November Return, Could Move To 126

By Elliot Foster

Scott Quigg looks set for an autumn ring return.

The former Super WBA super-bantamweight titlist has been out of action since suffering a broken jaw during a decision defeat at the hands of now-featherweight world ruler Carl Frampton back in February.

Quigg faced Frampton at Manchester Arena on February 27, exclusively live on Sky Sports Box Office in a 122lb blockbuster showdown.

And the 27-year-old Bury man (31-1-2, 23 KOs) is expected to make his comeback in a ring placed in the centre of the exact same venue before the year is out.

Boxing Scene understands that Quigg’s promoter Eddie Hearn is plotting his charge’s way back to the top of the tree in boxing and that the journey will start on November 26, as part of the undercard to Anthony Joshua’s second defence of the IBF world heavyweight title.

Hearn has also told ‘Scene that there is a possibility that Quigg could move up to featherweight, having been on the sidelines for what will be nearly nine months come fight night.

Although nothing is yet official, further information is expected to be revealed in due course.
