Now Quigg Is Top Of The Class
SCOTT QUIGG was expelled from school so he could continue his education in a boxing ring.
Now he is closing in on world title glory leaving his former teachers wearing Dunces caps.
The British super-bantamweight champion was 15-years-old when he was allowed to leave Bury’s Elton High School after pleading to be kicked out.
Quigg, 23, who defends his title against Welshman Jamie Arthur at Bolton’s Reebok Stadium tomorrow night (4th Feb) said: “I always turned up for school because I didn’t want my mum to get into trouble.
“When it came to subjects like science and maths I wasn’t the brightest kid. School didn’t interest me.
“I was getting into trouble so I talked it over with my mum and said I wanted them to chuck me out.
“They called a meeting for us to go in and discuss my problems. They laughed at my way of solving the solution because nobody had ever asked to be expelled.
“The deputy head, Miss Needham said; ‘What are you going to be, and achieve in life with no education?’
“I told the teachers I wouldn’t tell them because they would all laugh. When they pressed me I replied; ‘I am going to be a world champion boxer’.
“They then warned of what my life would be like if I failed, but my determination and vision was strong even then.
“They ended up expelling me, but putting me on a course where I went to college once a week. I am proving them wrong.”
After being bombed with no qualifications, dad Kenneth made his son get a lowly paid job sweeping a factory floor.
Quigg added: “It gave him a motto that has remained etched ever since, ‘Train hard and you will never have to work in a factory’.”
Since turning professional shortly after his 18th birthday Quigg has steamed to 23 consecutive wins and is now ranked third in the world by the IBF and WBA.
He is an early favourite to be voted Britain’s Young Boxer of the Year in October and behind him is the financial muscle of Hatton Promotions.
The Joe Gallagher trained prospect knows he cannot overlook former Commonwealth champion Arthur who is in the last chance saloon.
He said: “There is no danger of taking my eyes away from Arthur. If I cannot beat him it will be a struggle to reach the level I believe I can.
“Whoever has been in with Jamie knows they have been in a fight. There is no quit in him.
“I know how hungry I was to win the British title when the Jason Booth chance came and I am sure Jamie will have stepped up another gear in training.
“I have been in that position and I think it is harder keeping titles than winning them.”
Also in action tomorrow is former Commonwealth and European super-bantamweight champion Rendall Munroe who boxes Argentinian Jose Saez in a non-title eight rounder.
The bill will also include Stephen Foster Jr v Yauheni Kruhlik, Joe Murray v Jose Luis Graterol, Craig Lyon v Yuri Voronin, Jazza Dickens v Barrington Brown, Feargal McCrory v Sid Razak and Tasif Khan v Delroy Spencer.
Boxing starts at 6.15pm and tickets priced at £35, £55 and £75 VIP ringside. You can buy by calling 01925 755 222, Ticketmaster 0844 847 2500, Ticketline 0844 888 9991 or onlinewww.hattonboxing.com

Its Official Mayweather vs Cotto: May 5
It’s official. Boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather will return to the ring, step up in weight and challenge three-division World Champion Miguel Cotto for his WBA Super Welterweight World title. Mayweather vs. Cotto will take place on Saturday, May 5 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. and will be televised live on pay-per-view.
Mayweather, a seven-time world champion in five weight classes, will be facing the heavier, much-tested Cotto, who is the pride of Puerto Rico and has the experience, heart and determination to give pound for pound king Mayweather the toughest fight of his career.
“Miguel Cotto is a world class fighter who can never be taken for granted and continues to prove he is one of the best in boxing,” said Mayweather, whose only other fight at super welterweight came in a World Boxing Council (WBC) world title win over Oscar de la Hoya in May 2007. “It will be a challenge for me to compete with him at this weight, but this is the type of test I thrive on and gives me the motivation to train even harder. I have no doubt in my mind that my title belt collection will increase once again and Cotto’s reign as champion will come to an end on May 5.”
Cotto, coming off of the second defense of his title, a spectacular tenth-round technical knockout win over Antonio Margarito in December 2011, is ready to face Mayweather and believes he is Mayweather’s most competitive career challenge to date.
The deal between Mayweather (42-0, 26 KOs) and Cotto does not come as surprise. With a much-anticipated fight between Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao off the table at least until the fall, Mayweather-Cotto is widely considered the next biggest fight he could take. Junior middleweight titlist Saul “Canelo” Alvarez was also considered a leading candidate to face Mayweather.
Mayweather-Cotto also means that Pacquiao, who intends to fight June 9, will not be facing Cotto in a rematch. Pacquiao-Cotto II was one of the potential fights Pacquiao and his promoter, Bob Arum, had discussed. The leading candidate to face Pacquiao in June is junior welterweight titlist Timothy Bradley Jr.
