JASON QUIGLEY HAS made an elite list of boxers Sky Sports says has ‘yet to earn the exposure to match their promise.’
Quigley moved to 11-0 in May with a 100-90 points win over the experienced James de La Rosa at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Quigley is unbeaten in his eleven pro bouts, the first of which was two years ago yesterday, on July 12 2014, when he defeated Howard Reece after 80 seconds in the MGM Grand.
The Ballybofey man moved up in class for his latest bout, but put de La Rosa to the sword.

“Another snared by Golden Boy at the outset of his move into paid boxing, Quigley is a man on a mission and has outlined an intention to earn clashes with Chris Eubank Jr and WBO world champion Billy Joe Saunders. Premature that may be, but the Irishman has done little wrong so far.
“After a solid amateur career, during which he earned three European golds and a silver at the 2013 World Amateur Championships in Almaty, Quigley entered the professional ranks as hot property.
“De La Hoya beamed: ‘You can tell immediately that he’s someone who knows the game, and his amateur background is serving him well as a professional. I have no doubt that he will be a world champion one day.’
“Quigley stepped up to a 10-rounder for the first time in May and produced a flowing shutout points victory over James De La Rosa (23-4-KO13).
“Quigley may be yet to venture far from his Los Angeles base but don’t be surprised if an Irishman trained in America soon visits England and blasts to prominence.”
