Jason Quigley to be special guest at Finn Harps v Limerick game

NABF middleweight champion Jason Quigley will be a guest tonight at the Finn Harps v Limerick FC game at Finn Park.

Quigley has returned home for a break after his winning of the NABF middleweight title, when he defeated Glen Tapia at Fantasy Springs, Indio, in late March.

The win over Tapia, by way of a unanimous decision from the judges, continued Quigley’s unblemished record as a pro, taking him to 13-0, and secured his first professional strap.

Quigley’s return home was delayed due to the hand injury sustained by the Ballybofey man early in the fight.

Quigley boxed eight rounds without the use of his right hand. In the second round, Quigley broke his right hand, detached and shredded a tendon in his wrist.

The middleweight ace underwent successful surgery at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles and was unable to fly until he had pins removed from the hand.

Quigley is regularly snapped wearing Harps colours in LA and tonight he will show off the NABF middleweight belt at Finn Park at half-time during the Harps-Limerick game.
