Quigg to fight Salinas for vacant title on Haye – Fury card

According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, Scott Quigg and Yoandris Salinas will vie for a vacant 122 pound championship as part of the David Haye – Tyson Fury undercard.

“It’s a dream come true that my first world title fight will be in Manchester,” Quigg said. “It’ll be a massive boost to have my fans there and, with Haye and Fury fighting, too, it’s a huge night to be involved in and a great stage to land a world title. I’ve worked so hard to get here and I’m going to grab this title with both hands.”

“It’s fantastic for Scott to be challenging for his first world title on this bill,” Hearn said. “They’re both young unbeaten fighters desperate to take this golden chance. It’s a great fight on what promises to be a huge night for British boxing.”

The card also will feature middleweight contender Andy Lee (30-2, 21 KOs), 29, of Ireland against Domenico Spada (37-4, 19 KOs), 32, of Italy

“This is a great next step for me in my career,” Lee said. “Spada has been around the world scene for years now and has never before been stopped. He’s a renowned tough guy with a solid chin and a great work ethic. Therefore, it is my aim to go out there, put on a show and become the first man to stop him.”
