Jason Quigley could be set for a sensational return to the ring in September.

The Ballybofey boxer has agreed to a bout with unbeaten American Diego Pacheco – and is waiting on a signature from the Californian.

Quigley (20-3, 14KOs) hasn't fought since a June 2023 bout with Edgar Berlanga in New York, but is now waiting on Pacheco (21-0, 17KOs) to sign on the dotted line.

The hard-hitting Pacheco defended his USWBC and WBO International super-middleweight titles against Shawn McCalman in Las Vegas in April.

Pacheco is promoted by Eddie Hearn and the Matchroom chief says he is being lined up to fight at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

Hearn has confirmed that former WBO world middleweight challenger Quigley is among the possible opponents for a September 7 clash.

“I have fought in the StubHub before so it's familiar ground for me,” Quigley told Donegal Live.

“Pacecho has yet to be really tested in his career and is maybe hyped up a little more than he deserves. I would be very confident in taking this opportunity and getting a win.”
