Is Guillermo Rigondeaux FINALLY Catching a Break? Scott Quigg – Carl Frampton Winner Must Face Him – Breaking Boxing News

On January 7, the WBA Championships Committee issued a Resolution titled Clarification of the super bantamweight division, which concerns the status of Guillermo Rigondeaux, Scott Quigg, and Carl Frampton. Rigondeaux was designated “champion in recess” after managerial/promotional disputes kept him from defending his title. According to WBA President Gilberto Jesus Mendoza, “Rigondeaux shall come out of recess and face the winner of the February 27 unification bout between WBA champion Scott Quigg and IBF champion Carl Frampton. The winner of said bout, or Quigg if the fight is ruled a draw, must fight Rigondeaux on or before July 27, 2016.”

If a purse bid is necessary for Rigondeaux/Quigg or Rigondeaux/Frampton, the purse bid split will be 55% to Rigondeaux and 45% to Quigg or Frampton. If it appears no agreement can be reached by the parties involved, either side may request a purse bid.
