Scott Quigg (30-0-2, 22 KOs) will defend his "regular" WBA super bantamweight championship against Kiko Martinez (32-5, 24 KOs). The fight will take place at the Manchester Arena on July 18 and will be televised on Sky Sports in the UK.
“I was very busy and the break has done me good – I am refreshed,” stated Quigg. “We know what Kiko brings, he’s been in everyone’s backyard and this is the toughest fight of my career – but there’s one thing I know, I will beat him on July 18."
“He’s strong, he comes forward and he’s a big puncher. It will be the best performance of my career and it will need to be, I predict a devastating victory."
“This is a dangerous fight and those are the ones I want. It’s the type of fight that you get out of bed for your morning runs for – the fear of losing that world title makes me work even harder."
