Jason Quigley to face Edgar Berlanga at Madison Square Garden

Jason Quigley will follow up his recent win on home soil by topping the bill at Madison Square Garden in New York in June.

Quigley (20-2, 14KOs), who at the start of the month earned a unanimous points victory over Gabor Gorbics in his first fight in Ireland since turning professional nine years ago, will take on the unbeaten Edgar Berlanga.

"This fight is massive for me," the Donegal fighter said. "I need to get in there now, put in a great performance and come away victorious.

"That'll put me right in line for a world title shot and put me right in line for the biggest names in the super-middleweight division.

"Madison Square Garden is one of the most iconic professional boxing venues in the world. The best of the best, the cream of the crop have fought there.

"It’s exciting and a great honour to fight there, but at the end of the day it’s just another venue and there is business to take care of."

Quigley can expect to be backed by a sizeable Irish audience in the Big Apple and believes he can give them a night to remember.

"We all know how passionate the Irish are in New York and I know they’ll come out in big numbers to support me again," the 31-year-old added.

"It’s great to be back in the mix on the biggest stage of boxing. The cream rises to these occasions and it’s time for me to do that.

"It couldn’t come at a better time. I had a fantastic training camp ahead of my last fight and got a good, solid 10 rounds under my belt.

"I felt controlled and comfortable working on everything that we’ve been doing in the gym.It’s all about getting in there and doing it again."
