SCOTT QUIGG IS ready to enter the Jackal’s Den to take on IBF world champion Carl Frampton.
Plans for Frampton’s first title defence are on the backburner until after he has a scan on his injured left hand.

American Chris Avalos is the mandatory challenger but a ’super-fight’ against Quigg, who holds the regular WBA title, is another option.
The venue could also be a sticking point in negotiations with the crowd likely to top the 16,000 that packed into a purpose-built arena for Frampton’s win against Kiko Martinez.
Quigg says he’d happily face Frampton on his home turf in Belfast — provided they can find a big enough venue.
“I was pleased to see Carl win the title on Saturday and now it makes perfect sense for us to fight,” Quigg said on Monday.
I’ll fight him in Belfast, no problem – but 9,000 in Belfast versus 20,000 in Manchester, it makes more sense to do it there.
“But if they can find somewhere in Belfast with 20,000 then I can go there, I don’t care.
Quigg puts his belt on the line against Belgium’s Stephane Jamoye in Manchester’s Phones4U Arena this Saturday night but is already looking to the next step.
He added: “We both think we can win so there’s no reason why we shouldn’t fight – and I know that I will come out with both belts.”
Ah yes indeed Luimineach Abu and we could have a guest appearance by ” The Mayo Intruder” being carted off by 10 stewards.

Do you feel like we do? To be fair to Peter frampton his frampton comes alive album is a classic of it’s time. Plus everyone bought it. Like white ladder by David Gray and where is he now….
Casement is about to start redevelopment so wouldn’t be ready for a few years. Ravenhill would be good, 19,000 plus what you could fit on the pitch around the ring. Maybe 25-30 thousand?
there would be no sectarian issue with casement everyone no matter their background supports Frampton, case in point I watched his fight in a pub in the bogside and everyone cheered for carl, the redevelopment would be the problem though, so ravenhill would be better
I think Frampton would put pressure on from the first bell. Quigg has never been put under severe pressure and smothered before. If it happened i couldn’t see him being able to cope
What sport is this?
I’ve never heard of either of them!
When I saw the headline I thought Eoghan Quigg was challenging Peter Frampton to a ‘Duelling Banjos’-style music-off!
Ravenhill would probably be the obvious choice or they could just make another purpose built arena but a little bit bigger than the last one. If not Carl can just go to Manchester and knack his ballix in.

Oh thank fook.
For one horrible minute I thought Peter Frampton wanted to play here.
Ask your parents, kids.
Do you feel like we do? To be fair to Peter frampton his frampton comes alive album is a classic of it’s time. Plus everyone bought it. Like white ladder by David Gray and where is he now….
Kingspan Stadium? Up on 19,000 capacity
Or Casement Park. Over 32,000 seats.
Not going to happen at Casement. Carl is from Tigers Bay. Loyalist North Belfast. I know about the peace process and all that but that is out.
yeah. unfortunately true. Dublin is a no-no as well
Casement is about to start redevelopment so wouldn’t be ready for a few years. Ravenhill would be good, 19,000 plus what you could fit on the pitch around the ring. Maybe 25-30 thousand?
there would be no sectarian issue with casement everyone no matter their background supports Frampton, case in point I watched his fight in a pub in the bogside and everyone cheered for carl, the redevelopment would be the problem though, so ravenhill would be better
Would it be acceptable to play God save the Queen for both fighters in Casement or in the Bogside? Thought not.
Rave in hill
Frampton would ko or stop Quigg in the mid to late rounds.
Your being generous. Can see Quigg surviving that long
The cat would toy with the mouse first you see!
I think Frampton would put pressure on from the first bell. Quigg has never been put under severe pressure and smothered before. If it happened i couldn’t see him being able to cope
What sport is this?
I’ve never heard of either of them!
When I saw the headline I thought Eoghan Quigg was challenging Peter Frampton to a ‘Duelling Banjos’-style music-off!
Ravenhill would probably be the obvious choice or they could just make another purpose built arena but a little bit bigger than the last one. If not Carl can just go to Manchester and knack his ballix in.
Quigg could loose his next fight, he’d have to eat humble pie then
Is the Republic out of the question?
