QUIGG: I’M ALL FREDDIE TO RUMBLE LA move big boost for beaten champ

limited to 10-week training camps, but he plans to make the move permanent.

Quigg said: “Over the last 12 to 18 months, I felt I needed a change – a different voice as a coach and a different environment – to freshen up.

“Freddie’s not a ‘trainer’. He’s a coach because he teaches you things – when to do things, why to do things and how to do things.

“It’s OK training in Manchester with everyone I know. I’d still be successful and get to a certain level.

“But in 10 years’ time, when I’ve retired, I’d wonder whether I should have made the move.”

Quigg beat Mexico’s Jose Cayetano for the vacant WBA international feath featherweight belt in December an and has been flying out to LA since 2009 to train at the Wild Card.

But the length of his current stays came as something of a shocksho to his family and long-time girlfriend Bev – he told them just four days before heading across the Pond.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better response from Bev,” he said. “She knows that, without boxing, I wouldn’t be happy – and what I’m doing is for us.”

If Quigg successfully comes through his title eliminator, then he wants a shot at world champion Leo Santa Cruz, the Mexican who beat Carl Frampton in their January rematch.

Quigg added: “I’ve wanted Cruz for a long time. Our styles would gel and it would be an absolute cracker.

“If I beat him, then the Frampton rematch would be a strong possibility. If Frampton doesn’t want to play ball at the moment, I’m not going to worry.”
