Jason Quigley says the ‘passion and pride’ from his supporters in Donegal is driving him to further glory in the professional ranks.

At a homecoming last night at the Finn Valley Centre, Quigley – who is based in Los Angeles – spoke of the importance of the support from home.

“I’m a long way from home in LA and this is what drives me on – coming back to Donegal and the North-West like this.” he said.

“My roots are so important to me. I’m going to take this passion and pride back to LA again. I have a great team around me, a solid team and a solid base.”

Quigley – unbeaten in 13 pro fights – is back home with the NABF middleweight belt he won in March, but said: “I’ll never be pleased ’till I have all the belts.

“This is the fist stage of my career and the first stepping stone. This is only the start.”
