WBA super-bantamweight champion Scott Quigg has insisted that he will benefit from a break from the ring after it was revealed that he had undergone surgery on a hand injury.
Quigg suffered damage to his right knuckles during his world title defence against Hidenori Otake in November, but despite being ruled out until the summer, the Bury fighter is optimistic that he can enjoy a positive 2015.
The 26-year-old is quoted by Matchroom Boxing as saying: "Obviously it's disappointing not to be able to fight on March 28, but I've had a great run of five fights in 18 months, four of them being world title fights.
"The rest will probably do my body good and then I will be looking to come back with a huge fight in early summer."
Quigg has previously stated that he would like to face IBF champion Carl Frampton in a unification clash next year.
