The statement also revealed that Quigley suffered a broken jaw in the first round, no doubt hampering his chances to compete with the heavily favoured American.

“Firstly I would like to thank everybody for the amazing support I had for this fight it was unbelievable and something I will be forever grateful for.

I want to apologize to everyone that I didn’t give you more excitement and wasn’t able to put up more of a fight believe me I wanted to, I’m hurting most because I didn’t get the chance to show my full worth and give it more.

I suffered a broken jaw in the first round and now it’s time to head home get it sorted and healed. Then we look at what’s next.

Congrats @boobooandrade on the victory and I hope you get those big fights you deserve.

Thank you to my family my team and everybody that helped me along my journey to here, I had one of the best experiences of my life right up until the fight but that’s boxing it’s a brutal sport and maybe that’s why we love it.”

I don’t think there’s been a WBO world middleweight title fight that’s been staged within the last twenty years, involving a challenger that was as timid and stopped as quickly as Jason Quigley’s poor effort against Demetrius Andrade.

The Irishman was negative from the get-go and was dominated and disposed of with consummate ease.
