The clash between Scott Quigg and Stephane Jamoye is less about the fight itself than what it will potentially lead to – as long as Quigg wins.
Regardless of what lies ahead, the two fighters still need to worry about each other and nobody else as they meet Saturday evening at Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.
Quigg (28-0-1, 22KOs), has been in pursuit of the division’s top fighters for as long as he’s entered the title fray. The secondary title he holds makes him a top contender in a 122 lb. weight class overloaded with talent, with any of number of great fights available any way they are mixed and matched.
The trick has been getting them to actually fight.
Boxing fans have longed for a showdown between Quigg and Carl Frampton, the latter earning his first major title with a decision win over Kiko Martinez a week ago in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Efforts have been made by Quigg’s handlers to also secure fights with unbeaten lineal 122 lb. king Guillermo Rigondeaux and undefeated titlist Leo Santa Cruz, the latter whom also fights tonight versus overmatched former sparring partner Manuel Roman.
Eager to stay busy, Quigg embraces a showdown with Jamoye (26-5, 16KOs), a former bantamweight contender who accepted assignment after former 118 lb. titlist Paulus Ambunda withdrew.
