We’ve seen the last of Scott Quigg in the ring.
The 31-year-old former junior featherweight contender has announced his retirement after his 11th-round knockout loss to Jono Carroll in a junior lightweight bout Saturday in Manchester, England.
Quigg (35-3-2, 26 KOs) could get little going against Carroll until his corner finally threw in the towel.
The product of Bury confirmed on Instagram Sunday that he is moving on. His post read:
“Unfortunately last night wasn’t my night and it showed me it was time to call it a day! It’s been a great journey & I couldn’t of (sic) given the sport anymore and it’s been a pleasure working alongside [promoter] @eddiehearn.
“I’ve achieved everything my desire, dedication and ability would take me to and I can walk away with my head held high! Thank you to everyone for the tremendous support over the years.”
Quigg held what the WBA calls its “regular” title, which Boxing Junkie doesn’t recognize, from 2013 to 2016. His greatest victory might’ve been his second-round knockout of Kiko Martinez in July 2015.
