Height, Weight & Measurements
Scott Quigg stands at an impressive height of 5 feet 8 inches (173 cm). As a professional boxer, his weight typically fluctuates depending on his fight category, but he generally competes in the super bantamweight division, weighing around 122 lbs (55 kg). His athletic physique, combined with his rigorous training regime, contributes to his success in the ring.
Frampton believed Quigg finally took the fight on the back of his own fight, where he was dropped in round one against Alejandro Gonzalez Jr. but won the fight via decision. Frampton called it a blessing in disguise. Frampton said he had been calling for a fight against Quigg since he was British champion four years ago.
The IBF formally sanctioned the bout as a unification only on the condition that the winner of the bout would have 90 days to agree a deal with mandatory challenger, Japanese boxer Shingo Wake.
On the other hand, the WBA Championships Committee announced Rigondeaux as 'champion in recess', due to his managerial and promotional issues and not having a fight scheduled. The WBA made it clear that they wanted the winner of Frampton vs. Quigg to fight Rigondeaux before 27 July 2016. In the case of a draw, it would be Quigg vs. Rigondeaux.
Frampton and Quigg both appeared in media conferences and said they were both open to fighting Rigondeaux, also acknowledging IBF's request to fight Wake. Ahead of his UK debut, Rigondeaux said he was open to returning to the UK to fight the winner. The fight was also going to be closely watched by featherweight champion, Santa Cruz.
He was aware the bout would likely be both boxers last at super-bantamweight and said he was looking forward to them stepping up weight to challenge him.

In 2010 Quigg defeated journeyman Nikita Lukin in Stoke on 19 February and then went on to meet Andrey Kostin in his home town of Bury on 29 May.
The victory over Kostin was particularly notable in that it was the first time a professional contest had been held in the town since the local council banned the sport 13 years previously, lifting the ban only so that Quigg could compete in his home town. The ban was from 1997 after Mike Tyson bit Evander Hoyfield's ear in the rematch.

In the post-fight, Frampton said, "I couldn't believe what was going on when I heard the split decision – I felt I was a comfortable winner – but it's onwards and upwards for me now. I knew it was going to be a tactical fight all along and a bit timid. I'm not going to rush into silly punches. You have to be smart. I was and I got the win.
