It looks like finally the Carl Frampton v Scott Quigg all British world title unification fight is finally on.. Northern Ireland's Frampton holds the IBF super-bantamweight belt while England's Quigg, is the current WBA title holder.
The long-awaited bout between the undefeated pair will unify both belts. Frampton is adamant that he is going into Scott Quiggs back yard to take the titles because he says "I'm the legitimate champion and It's what Champions do."
Frampton and Quigg have baited each other for a while now and only financial issues have caused previous negotiations to break down. Both respected champions are evenly matched, Frampton being the older by a year at 28..
Frampton claimed the IBF crown from Kiko Martinez in September 2014 and has defended his title twice, stopping Chris Avalos in Belfast in February before retaining his belt on points against Alejandro Gonzalez Jr after a shaky start on his debut in America.
Quigg has made five successful defences of his title since claiming the WBA belt in October 2013.
"I've finally got the fight I've wanted for so long," said Quigg.
"I've dedicated my life to this sport and I have never been more confident going into a fight. I know I will beat him in every department."
The much awaited bout is scheduled for February 27th at The Manchester Arena..
