By Scott Gilfoid: Matchroom Sport promoter Eddie Hearn is counting on being able to setup a big UK mega-fight this summer between the unbeaten IBF super bantamweight champion Carl Frampton (20-0, 14 KOs) and WBA champion Scott Quigg (30-0-2, 22 KOs).
The two fighters are still unbeaten, but then again neither of them has faced the cream of the 122 pound division in WBC/WBO champion Guillermo Rigondeaux and WBC champ Leo Santa Cruz. Rigondeaux has been interested in facing Quigg and Frampton for a long time, but he’s had no luck in getting either of them to accept a fight with him. Does that make Quigg and Frampton paper champions?
