Scott Quigg Very Willing To Face Rigondeaux For a World Title

By Edward Chaykovsky

Scott Quigg (31-1-2, 23KOs) is looking to resume his career in a major way.

In February he suffered his first career at the hands of domestic rival Carl Frampton, who walked away with the IBF/WBA super bantamweight world titles.  Quigg suffered a broken jaw in the fight.

Quigg has already been medically evaluated and intends to return in the fall, hopefully in a world title fight.

Frampton has already been stripped of the WBA belt that he captured from Quigg - because of his refusal to make a mandatory defense against the WBA's champion 'in recess' Guillermo Rigondeaux (16-0, 10KOs), who due to a visa recently pulled out of a scheduled fight with Jazza Dickens in the UK.

Quigg told Sky Sports: "I had an X-ray on Tuesday. Everything is healing fine. It's knitted back together. They say it takes six weeks for a fracture to heal then it's got to set and get stronger.

"I've got another two months before I can't start sparring again. As soon as I can fight again, and I'm looking at September or October, then I want to be back where I belong with the biggest fight possible.

"Hopefully we can go straight back in for a world title. Forget the injury or the jaw. I want to be back where I feel like I belong - at the top. I want to be in with the biggest opponent I can be in with because I want to prove that I'm the best.

The WBA ordered Rigondeaux to face Moises Flores for the vacant WBA crown. Rigondeaux is a massive favorite to win that fight. The two sides will have to reach an understand shortly or go to a purse bid.

If Rigondeaux pulls off the victory as many expect he will, Frampton said - "I'd be happy to take that [fight] straight away."
