Quigley is a 28-year-old contender of Donegal, Ireland who has defeated the likes of James “The King” De La Rosa, Glen “Jersey Boy” Tapia, and Freddy “El Riel” Hernandez. The former NABF Middleweight Champion then suffered a minor setback against Tureano Johnsonin July of last year but bounced back before the year ended. Quigley has promised to stay busy and work hard in order to obtain a world title opportunity.
“I want to build momentum,” said Jason Quigley.”I fought at the start of December and got a good win. Now, I’m right back in mix. That’s exactly what I want, and exactly what I need. It’s all about building momentum now. I need to get in again, keep it fresh, and get out of there ASAP to keep the ball rolling. It’s an exciting time. What’s important now in 2020 is driving on and achieving what I want to achieve. My aim and my goal are to become a world champion. I’m excited for what’s to come.”
Cortes is a 26-year-old native of Zapopan, Mexico who has taken on the likes of Hugo “The Boss” Centeno Jr .and Alejandro “Zorrito” Barrera. The former holder of two youth titles will look to put a screeching halt to Quigley’s momentum on January 23. “I’ve been in the ring for as long as I can remember,” said Oscar Cortes.
“I have faced my share of tough opponents in there, and Quigley is no different. He is a big challenge for me at this point of my career, but I am ready to prove myself and my family above all that I belong with the top guys of the sport.I want to thank Golden Boy and DAZN for allowing me the opportunity to beat a top fighter on international TV.”
