A month ago in an unusual move, Rigondeaux’ 经理 加里·海德 formally petitioned the WBA to enforce a mandatory title fight between his WBA Super champion and Quigg. Hyde is awaiting the WBA’s decision. Rigondeaux is also the World Boxing Organization (WBO) 和 午夜凶铃 杂志的超最轻量级冠军.

A reigning world champion hasn’t been avoided by other world champions and top contenders like Rigondeux has for the past two years since, 也许, 超次中量级 塞尔吉奥·马丁内斯, or possibly all the way back to middleweight 迈克·麦卡勒姆.

The top three super bantamweights in the world outside of Rigondeaux – International Boxing Federation (IBF) 和世界拳击理事会 (WBC) 冠军, 卡尔·弗兰普顿 和 狮子座圣克鲁斯, 分别, plus Quigg – have avoided the Cuban great like the plaque. Once Santa Cruz’ promoter at the time, 霍亚, announced that a Rigondeaux-Santa Cruz had to happen, 圣克鲁斯’ powerful adviser, 铝海蒙, exercised a contract option and bought him out to avoid a fight with ‘Rigo.’ Frampton’s promoter, 巴里·麦圭根, has proclaimed his fighter, not Rigondeaux, 作为无. 1 世界超轻量级. 麦圭根, 虽然, is interested in Frampton fighting Quigg in a U.K. 摊牌, rather than a world mega-fight for three of the four major sanctioning world titles. 由于 “定期” WBA champion, Quigg is Rigondeaux’ 强制性的挑战者, 但, he apparently wants no part of the two-time Olympic gold medalist because his promoter, Barry Hearn, not only hasn’t pushed the issue, he’s in negotiations with McGuigan for Frampton to fight Quigg.

Former world super bantamweight champions Nonito Doniare, after he lost a unification fight to Rigondeaux two years ago, 和 押尼珥Mares chose to move up one division to fight as featherweights. And now Donaire reports that his manager was contacted by a Quigg representative to discuss a Donaire-Quigg fight in England.

Another two-time Olympic gold medalist, WBO 126-pound champion Vasyl Lomachenko, continually insists that “线” has to move up in weight for a fight to happen despite him having no problems making 126.

“QUIGG, Santa Cruz and Frampton have showed no desire to challenge Rigondeaux,” 海德说：. “These three fighters are trying to fool the public into believing that fight 否. 1 guy in the world is not important. While they are lining their pockets with ridiculous amounts of cash for fighting below par opponents, Rigondeaux is forced to wait around until some Asian opponent steps up. This is a sport in which we are accustomed to seeing the best fighting the best but, in the super bantamweight division, it’s the best versus the rest.

“Rigondeaux will travel to Manchester to fight Quigg, Belfast to fight Frampton, or Las Vegas to fight Santa Cruz. None of these so-called world champions, 虽然, will consider fighting the acknowledged world super bantamweight champion. They’re all much more content to hold onto their belts than beating The Man in their weight class.”

下个月, Hyde reports, Rigondeaux will travel to the United Kingdom in a bold attempt to embarrass Quigg into fighting him. “I don’t like traveling overseas unless I have a fight lined up,” Rigondeaux explained, “but I will travel to England in May to publicly call out Scott Quigg. If he turns down the chance to fight our WBA mandatory, he will be remembered for that instead of being known as a great fighter. While I’m in the UK, I will also go to Belfast to checkout Carl Frampton to ask if he wants to prove himself against the best in his division.”

Understanding that the top super bantamweight action is currently in Europe, noting a record purse ($2.2 million USD) offered for a Frampton vs. Quigg fight, Rigondeaux is considering a major change in the not too distant future, moving his base from Miami to the UK, if that’s what it takes for him to get in on the action.

Hyde also manages former WBO middleweight champion and current International Boxing Federation (IBF) 别. 1 强制性的竞争者 哈桑N'Dam N'Jikam (31-1, 18 科斯), former WBA Interim cruiserweight champion 尤里 “托洛” 卡伦加 (21-2, 14 科斯) and Georgian super lightweight 莱文 “这个狼” Ghvamichava (14-1-1, 11 科斯) , as well as top prospects such as Cuban super bantamweight 马克·福里斯特 (2-0, 2 科斯), 爱尔兰重量级 与希恩 and Bulgarian light heavyweight Blagoy Naydenov.
