Quigg’s on world title trail

BOXING SHELDAN KEAY SCOTT Quigg is set to return to the ring next weekend as he looks to move one step closer to becoming world champion once again.

Quigg was previously based in Rossendale for his training, but has now relocated to Los Angeles to train with Freddie Roach at his Wildcard Gym.

Their first fight working together will come on a huge stage, as Quigg faces Viorel Simion at Wembley Stadium on the undercard of Anthony Joshua’s unification showdown with Wladimir Kiltschko.

Quigg is excited to step back through the ropes on April 29.

“This is a fight I’m really looking forward to. It’s my first fight working with Freddie and his training team and it’s a fight that will catapult me right in the mix for a world title fight,” he said.

“Simion is an experienced, skilful and strong fighter and the only blemish on his record is against current IBF champion Lee Selby, who he pushed all the way.

“I’m expecting and preparing for a very tough fight but one I’m very confident in and expect to put in the best performance of my career.

“The switch out to LA has been a breath of fresh air. The change of environment working with Freddie and the quality of sparring has really freshened things up and I’m excited to show the improvements made.”
