Scott Quigg Has Surgery After Suffering Broken Jaw

Scott Quigg is undergoing surgery after suffering a broken jaw during his points defeat to Carl Frampton in Manchester on Saturday night. Quigg was injured by a punch from Frampton in the fourth round, but was able to continue fighting and went the distance before losing a hard-fought contest in a split decision.

Quigg who spoke after the fight said “He caught me with an uppercut and has broken my jaw so that put a bit of a spanner in the works. I had to have round five off then just to see what the damage was like, if it was going to be painful when I got hit. Luckily it wasn't, it was just numb. It felt like I had been to the dentist's and had an injection”

Quigg's promoter Eddie Hearn revealed on Twitter on Sunday that the Bury fighter was having surgery and also posted pictures of the X-rays. He wrote “Thoughts with Scott Quigg currently undergoing surgery on broken jaw..you will be back stronger!”.

Frampton took the WBA super-bantamweight title from Quigg with his victory to add to his IBF belt after receiving two scores of 116-112 from the judges, with the third scoring it 115-113 for Quigg, who is now hoping for a rematch.
