| CORK, آئر لینڈ (اپریل 12, 2015) – Unified super bantamweight world champion بل “سیار” Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 کوس), arguably the most avoided reigning world title holder in modern boxing history, will travel to London next month in order to publicly confront his mandatory challenger, اسکاٹ QUIGG (30-0-2, 22 کوس), the World Boxing Association (ڈبلیو بی اے) “باقاعدگی سے” 122-پونڈ ڈویژن titlist.
A month ago in an unusual move, Rigondeaux’ مینیجر گیری ہائڈ 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 (ڈبلیو بی او) اور رنگ میگزین کے سپر bantamweight چیمپئن.
A reigning world champion hasn’t been avoided by other world champions and top contenders like Rigondeux has for the past two years since, شاید, جونیئر مڈل سرجیو مارٹنیج, or possibly all the way back to middleweight مائیک میکیلم.
The top three super bantamweights in the world outside of Rigondeaux – International Boxing Federation (آئی بی ایف) اور عالمی باکسنگ کونسل (WBC) champions, کارل Frampton کی اور لیو سانتا کروز, بالترتیب, plus Quigg – have avoided the Cuban great like the plaque. Once Santa Cruz’ promoter at the time, آسکر DE LA Hoya, announced that a Rigondeaux-Santa Cruz had to happen, سانتا کروز’ powerful adviser, امام HAYMON, exercised a contract option and bought him out to avoid a fight with ‘Rigo.’ Frampton’s promoter, Barry McGuigan, has proclaimed his fighter, not Rigondeaux, as the No. 1 super featherweight in the world. McGuigan, اگرچہ, is interested in Frampton fighting Quigg in a U.K. showdown کے, rather than a world mega-fight for three of the four major sanctioning world titles. As the “باقاعدگی سے” WBA champion, Quigg is Rigondeaux’ لازمی چیلنجر, ابھی تک, 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, اور ابنیر Mares کی 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 “لائن آف” 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,” ہائڈ کہا. “These three fighters are trying to fool the public into believing that fight کوئی. 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, اگرچہ, 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.”
Next month, 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 (آئی بی ایف) کرتے نہیں. 1 لازمی مدمقابل حسن N'Dam N'Jikam (31-1, 18 کوس), former WBA Interim cruiserweight champion یوری “ال ٹورو” Kalenga (21-2, 14 کوس) and Georgian super lightweight Levan کی “The Wolf” Ghvamichava (14-1-1, 11 کوس) , as well as top prospects such as Cuban super bantamweight مارک جنگل (2-0, 2 کوس), Irish heavyweight شیہان ساتھ and Bulgarian light heavyweight Blagoy Naydenov.
