Scott Quigg: “Unfortunately for him, I’m not scared of him”
Scott Quigg takes on Jono Carroll on March 7th live on DAZN. Quigg, the former WBA Super-Bantamweight champion, is looking to become a two weight world champion this weekend by taking the first step and beating Carroll.
Scott Quigg knows he has a size disadvantage going into the fight with Carroll. He still believes that he has the power and, more importantly, the fight IQ to succeed at featherweight against the top fighters.
“I respect any fighter that gets through the ropes. It only takes one punch to change a fight. He’s the slightly bigger man. I’m strong enough, I hit hard enough, I’m tough enough, and the main thing is I’m more than smart enough to deal with the bigger guys.”
Quigg is relying on his experience to beat Carroll in Manchester.
He says, “I proved that day in day out at the Wildcard. People like Jono come through the Wildcard door every day and I’ve sparred and dealt with many people like him. I’m not taking it lightly, but I know what I need to do. I’ve put the right preparation in and I’m more than ready.”
Scott Quigg Relying On Experience
Carroll is pretty well known for his trash talk and berating his opponents. Scott Quigg knows this tactic and says he isn’t phased by it one bit.
“The amount of nonsense he talks, because he talks that much, he starts to believe it. If he didn’t believe it he’d start going into himself, he’d start having the doubts. He hopes I’m scared. Unfortunately for him, I’m not scared of him.”
Quigg knows what’s important here. He knows a win is a must to get him back to the World Title fights that he’s used to. While he has his plans, he will not be looking past Jono Carroll and lose this fight.
“When I beat him, this will put me back where I want to be, at the forefront of getting a World Title shot. The big thing I’m happy about is being back at home, showing the public I’m back. I’d love rematches with the two people that beat me, Frampton and Valdez, I’d love to get rematches with them. All of my focus at this moment is on Carroll. Once I’ve dealt with him, that’s when I’ll think about what’s next.”
