Jason Quigley will look to maintain his unblemished professional record in London on 23 March as the Donegal middleweight has been added to the world title card at the Copper Box Arena.

The undefeated middleweight, who trains out of the famous Ingle Gym in Sheffield, is building towards a world title challenge and has now been confirmed to fight on the undercard Charlie Edward's world title defence against Angel Moreno. 

The Dominic Ingle-trained Quigley makes his first appearance in the English capital as a professional on a stacked card that also features former Team GB Olympians Joshua Buatsi and Lawrence Okolie. 

Former Irish amateur star, Quigley holds a perfect record of 15 wins from 15 fights, with 11 of those wins coming by knockout, since turning over in 2014.

Quigley, the current NABF Middleweight Champion, is delighted to be fighting so close to home after basing himself in America in the early part of his pro career.

"I’m excited to make my UK debut in London," said Quigley.

"I know my fans at home are going to be thrilled that they have a short distance to travel for this one. It’s great to get a chance to fight in London and fight so close to home for me.

"I’m very grateful to Golden Boy Promotions and Matchroom UK for working together to give me the chance to fight on this show."

Quigley returned after a year out to defeat Daniel Rosarion in Boston last March and overcame Freddy Hernandez at Fantasy Springs in October to retain his NABF middleweight belt.
