equally dramatic fashion, the fight was effectively over. Quigg bulldozed Munyai into the ropes and as the onslaught put the South
African down again, referee Howard Foster had seen enough.
There were words for Frampton in Quigg’s post fight interview and
that’s clearly still the fight that the British boxing fraternity want to
see, but it looks unlikely to materialise in the near future as the
Irishman plots his own route to a world title shot, possibly against
Leo Santa Cruz. Whoever Quigg fights next, he’s a continually
improving fighter who’s growing into the role of being a champion
and looks ready for the true super bantamweight elite.
Earlier on the night, Josh Warrington defended his Commonwealth
featherweight title against former world title challenger Rendall
Munroe with a thoroughly dominant seventh-round stoppage. Munroe, who announced his retirement from boxing immediately after
the bout, could not keep pace with the fast hands of the younger,
fresher Warrington, who himself looks to be an improving force.
