On Saturday, December 10th, Scott Quigg faces Jose Cayetano for the WBA International Featherweight title in Manchester. Quigg returns to action after suffering from a broken jaw against Carl Frampton in February, when they fought the World Super-Bantamweight unification battle at the Manchester Arena.
The Bury star, who is looking to get back into the World title frame, said: “It’s great to be back. It’s been a long road. The biggest fight of my career didn’t go my way in February and I’ve had a broken jaw that’s kept me out of the gym for a long time. Everyone knows that I love to be in the gym, working and learning, so it’s been really tough. I’m back to living the life I love and I can’t wait to be back in the ring where I belong.”
“The four pounds is a lot to play with when you are big for the weight. I was still making Super-Bantamweight and making it safely because of how I live my life, but it was getting harder. Sometimes I was training in the gym and I was miserable, I wasn’t eating as much and I was snappy.”
“With the extra four pounds I’ve been able to let my body mature instead of holding back and I am happier in the gym, laughing and joking but still putting in the hard work. I always say a happy fighter is a dangerous fighter, I feel I am going from strength to strength as I’m in the gym with a smile on my face.”
“Jose has mixed in good company, taken Santa Cruz the distance and he’s coming off a good win against Santiago. This is a very good fight coming back from a broken jaw. I am not taking this lightly at all, I’ve watched him a lot, he knows what he’s doing, he’s cute, and it’s a fight that I have to put in a top performance in and that’s what I am aiming to do.”
“I want to be linked with Carl Frampton and Lee Selby because if I am not linked with them, I’m doing something wrong. It’s no secret that I want a rematch with Carl and I would love to fight Lee too.”
“I want to avenge the loss against Carl, which I believe I can do, and I want to become a two-weight World champion and that means fighting title holders like Lee. I’ve got to go out there and get back to winning ways first though, and then those fights will happen. It’s down to me to go out there and prove I’m going to land those fights and beat those guys. I believe I am the best, I had a night last time but if I keep winning, those big World title fights will come back once again and the results will go my way.”
Besides Quigg’s return against Cayetano, who has beaten Alexis Santiago in Las Vegas in September, and the nights main clash between Anthony Joshua and Eric Molina, Dillian Whyte faces Dereck Chisora in an official eliminator for the WBC Heavyweight title. Further Luis Ortiz and Dave Allen step into the ring, as well as Kal Yafai, who gets the chance to become Birmingham’s first World Champion against WBA Super-Flyweight belt holder Luis Concepcion. Finally, Katie Taylor boxes for the secont time in the paid ranks, Callum Smith defends his British Super-Middlewieght crown against Luke Blackledge and Hosea Burton tries to keep his British Light-Heavyweight belt against Frank Buglioni.
